Overview
- Ronda Rousey will face Gina Carano on May 16 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles under Jake Paul’s MVP banner with a live Netflix stream.
- Rousey said this will be her first fight as a mother and described training at home in a garage octagon built by her husband.
- Kayla Harrison, in interviews published Tuesday, said a CT scan is due next week and that clearance would move her to drilling and then sparring within weeks.
- Harrison disputed a Rousey judo anecdote as “a blatant f—ing lie” and dismissed hype that Rousey vs. Carano is the best women’s fight ever, noting Carano’s 17-year layoff.
- Harrison said she will push the UFC to add a women’s 145-pound division or consider retiring, citing extreme bantamweight cuts, as an expected rebooking with Amanda Nunes remains in play.
