Ronda Rousey Set to Face Gina Carano
On Saturday, May 16th, Ronda Rousey will enter the ring against Gina Carano in a 145-pound catchweight MMA match at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California.
This marks Rousey’s return to fighting since December 2016, while Carano hasn’t competed since 2009. It’s interesting how time marches on, right?
“If I hadn’t seen her fight, I wouldn’t have realized women’s MMA was even a thing,” Rousey said back in March 2014. “Knowing I get to fight her is a big honor.”
For anyone wanting to witness this historic matchup live, tickets are available at various prices, with the cheapest starting around $186, which is kind of steep for most folks, isn’t it?
If you’re looking for a closer seat, floor tickets jump to around $3,027. That’s quite an investment, I’m thinking maybe it’s worth it if you’re a huge fan.
As of now, there’s no indication that this will be their final bout. This match offers both legends a chance to change the narrative, especially since both lost their last outings—Carano to Cyborg in 2009, and Rousey to Amanda Nunes in 2016 after just 48 seconds.
Before the fight, Rousey will undergo a neurological examination and concussion tests due to a prior concussion from her time in judo during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Safety first, I suppose.
“Both fighters will require extensive medical checks,” mentioned Andy Foster from the California State Athletic Commission.
