Ronda Rousey confirms she was supposed to fight Gina Carano

Gina Carano was rumored to be considering a return to mixed martial arts last summer, and most would agree that the only reason the 33-year-old would return to the Octagon would be to fight Ronda Rousey.

Apparently that fight was pretty close to happening.

Rousey was a guest on “The Joe Rogan Experience” this week, and the UFC women’s bantamweight champion admitted that Dana White made her an offer to fight Carano last December. However, Rousey didn’t want to wait that long between fights and it never came to fruition.

It all started after Rousey defeated Sara McMann in February 2014.
