Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano: Fight card, date, odds, rumors, complete guide

One of the most anticipated events of the year is here. Ronda Rousey, after ten years away from mixed martial arts, makes her return Saturday night in Los Angeles when she takes on another sports legend for a long time away from the sport in Gina Carano. The two main headliners of the Netlfix MMA event, will take place inside the Intuit Dome.

Rousey rose to the top of Strikeforce where she quickly rose to become the women’s bantamweight champion. She impressed UFC president Dana White enough to rescind her no-women status and fight for the promotion when she debuted in 2013 as the inaugural champion. She defended the title six times before a stunning loss to Holly Holm in 2015 and followed that up with another knockout loss to Amanda Nunes in 2016, which led to her retirement from the sport.

Carano is widely considered a pioneer of women’s MMA. The Strikeforce and Elite XC alum brought fresh eyes to women’s MMA. She rode that momentum into the first fight for the Strikeforce Women’s Featherweight title. Carano made a mistake on Cyborg, one of the most prominent fighters of all genders, before retiring.

Rousey and Carano haven’t fought in 10 and 17 years respectively. They are returning from a long-lost dream game in Los Angeles.
