Episode 681: Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano … in this economy?!?
About this episode
The episode discusses the upcoming superfight between Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano, set for May 16, 2026, and its implications in the MMA and boxing world.
As is so typical in this sport, they’re going to give us the superfight. They’re just going to give it to us about 10 years too late. Such is the case with Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano, which will go down May 16 (yes, May 16, 2026) at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. Perhaps the biggest surprise of all is that the people giving it to us aren’t the UFC, but Most Valuable Promotions — and the fight will air on Netflix. Let’s be clear: This seems inadvisable. It likely won’t be competitive. But it’s probably going to be a big, big deal. Guess you can’t say Jake Paul and Nikisa Bidarian don’t swing for the fences. Plus, Zuffa Boxing signed Conor Benn for $15 million for one fight. Hey, UFC fighters, are you paying attention NOW? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
