Ronda Rousey left UFC six years ago but revealed there’s one headline fi💮ght that could reel her back into the octa♍gon.
Rousey, the first female inductee into the UFC Hall of Fame, expressed on a recent episode of “The Kurt Angle Show” that a face-off against Gina Carano would be worth putting on the gloves one more time.
“I mean, I’ve said it a million times,” Rous♑ey said. “It’s not like it’s something new but, for Gina man. Gina Carano, she’s the reason why I got into fighting, she’s the reason why I knew ♌it was a possibility. I will always be forever grateful… and if she ever was like, ‘Ronda, I wanna fight you tomorrow at 205 pounds,’ like whatever the hell she’d want.”
Rousey has had a couple of hyped stints with WWE following her departure from ꦰMMA🍰. The 35-year-old currently reigns as the SmackDown Women’s Champion and will look to defend her title at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view on July 2.
As for her proposed opponent, Carano hung up her gloves in 2009 after suffering a disheartening loss to Cris Cyborg. Carano, once considered the “face of women’s MMA,” primarily fought in EliteXC and Strikeforce at a time when UFC did not have women’s matches.
the 40-year-old has pursued an acting career in recent years, playing supporting roles in films such as “Fast & Furious 6” and “Deadpool.”
She later played Cara Du🍸ne in Disney+’s hit series “The Mandalorian,” but was in 2021 after sharing controversial posts on Instagram.
For now, the ball is in Carano’s 🔯court – all she has to do is name a time and a place.
“If she wanted to come into my backyard and do the Rocky thing or, you know, dﷺing, ding and we ju♏st do it in the backyard, I don’t care,” Rousey said. “I will fight Gina wherever she wants.”
