Rousey vs Carano: MMA Dream Fight Set for Netflix

Nearly 10 years after retirement, Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano announced their comeback for a May 16 superfight on Netflix in a matchup that stunned the MMA world.

The decade-old fantasy fight between Rousey and Carano will become reality as both women's MMA pioneers return from retirement. Rousey, 39, last fought in 2016, while Carano, 43, retired in 2009.

The featherweight (145 pounds) bout at Los Angeles' Intuit Dome will be promoted by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions and mark the first live MMA card on Netflix. Rousey called it 'the biggest superfight in women's combat sport history,' while Carano noted Rousey approached her specifically for this fight.
