The idea of a superfight between Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano was at some point a plan, at least according to Carano. The first breakthrough star of women’s MMA and Hollywood star revealed to ESPN on Monday that the UFC had offered her $1 million to fight then-undefeated UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey. The fight between the two easily could’ve been one of the biggest fights in MMA history with Rousey (12-2, 6-2 UFC) and Carano (7-1) being household names in the sport each in their respective eras. “When Ronda Rousey became popular, I remember they (Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta) had finally called for a meeting, and I walked in this restaurant, and they looked like these two big muscly guys at the table in like the middle of Hollywood,” Carano said.
