Former UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey revealed she contacted Dana White about booking a fight with Gina Carano, but the UFC wasn't interested. Despite this setback, Rousey will now face Carano in a 145-pound bout promoted by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions for Netflix.
Carano was the driving force behind Rousey's comeback, as Rousey felt compelled to help Carano when she saw her struggling. 'She's the one person that I would come back to fight for,' Rousey explained.
