Rousey vs Carano: MMA Legends Return for Netflix Superfight

Nearly 10 years after retirement, Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano are set to face off in a historic MMA superfight on May 16, 2026, in a bout that will stream live on Netflix.

The decade-long fantasy fight between women's MMA pioneers Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano becomes reality as both announce their return to competition. The five-round featherweight bout takes place at Los Angeles' Intuit Dome and marks the first MMA card to air live on Netflix, promoted by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions.

Rousey, who last fought in 2016, and Carano, who retired in 2009, remain two of the most influential figures in women's MMA history. The fight represents a remarkable comeback for both athletes who have been away from the sport for a combined 25 years.
