Rousey vs Carano: Netflix MMA Superfight Confirmed

Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano are ending their retirements for a May 16 superfight on Netflix, in a match that has stunned the MMA world.

The decade-long fantasy fight between women's MMA pioneers Rousey and Carano is finally becoming reality. The combined 25-year retirement for both fighters ends with a five-round featherweight bout at Los Angeles' Intuit Dome.

Paul's Most Valuable Promotions will promote the card, marking the first live MMA event on Netflix. Rousey, 39, last fought in 2016, while Carano, 43, retired in 2009 after losses to Nunes and Cyborg respectively.
