In a few months, Ronda Rousey is about to be in her MMA comeback fight against Gina Carano in May. 16, 2026, at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California. While Rousey looks forward to getting contained in the octagon following a successful pro-wrestling profession, Carano can be donning her fighting gloves after a span of nearly 17 years.
While heavily promoting her upcoming fight for Jake Paul’s MVP (Most Priceless Promotions), Rousey took a brutal shot on the UFC Freedom 250 match card. It was recently announced that former UFC heavyweight Champion Francis Ngannou may even be an element of the MVP’s Netflix special match card against Philipe Lins. Celebrating his addition, Rousey wrote, “[Ngannou Vs Lins] joins [Rousey Vs Carano] on [Netflix] May sixteenth! How’s THAT for a bamf laden double headliner? That’s what happens once you put fighters and fans ahead of shareholders [Most Valuable Promotions] P.S. [UFC’s] White House card sucks [middle finger emoji] [smiley face sunglass emoji] [middle finger emoji].”
