Ronda Rousey v Gina Carano was an absurd mismatch but it showed what UFC is missing
Saturday night’s fight came a decade too late to be relevant.
But it also provided a spectacle MMA’s most powerful organization has been lacking
When Ronda Rousey stepped into the cage for the first time in almost a decade on Saturday night to challenge fellow mixed martial arts trailblazer Gina Carano, the fight was over before it ever really began.
In a flash, Rousey had Carano locked in her signature armbar, leaving her opponent little choice but to tap. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/may/17/ronda-rousey-beats-gina-carano-in-17-seconds-in-mma-return-i-didnt-really-want-to-hurt-her">The fight lasted a mere 17 seconds.
“I didn’t really want to hurt her,” Rousey said after her win. “It was beautiful martial arts, that’s what I think that was.
It was art.”
