Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano are ready to shock the world one more time.
The MMA stars are both set to make their comeback on May 16 when they compete in a five-round fight at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, headlining an event promoted by Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions and airing live on Netflix.
Calling the news unexpected or surprising would be an understatement, with Rousey fighting for the first time since 2016 and Carano for the first time since 2009, and the combat sports community has been
understandably wowed by the announcement.
Paul tweeted about the news shortly after, calling it a “surreal moment,” and Rousey called it “the biggest super fight in women’s combat sports history.“ Given Rousey’s and Carano’s previous accomplishments and their mainstream notoriety, the bold claim isn’t completely out of the question.
