“Tough fight, and you might have one tough chin.
“Solid debut against a solid opponent.

Why is Gina Carano making a comeback?
Gina Carano launched a successful acting profession in Hollywood after walking away from MMA.
The Mandalorian and Deadpool star says it was Ronda Rousey who convinced her to make a return.
“Obviously, the motivation is that Ronda personally asked me. She was quite the charmer,” Carano said during a launch press conference last month.
“She asked me politely. She thanked me for therefore much. She inspired me. Other jobs type of got here up during this, but nothing was as essential as this.
“To share this moment together with her and to be the one which she would come back for, she’s my one as well.
“We get to live once, and this makes me feel so alive, so I’m just super grateful for the chance.”
