Rousey vs Carano

[Dave1]

It's amazing that there are people who don't know Gina Carano! Do these people watch movies? For example, Deadpool, the Mandalorian. I think this is a staged fight. Gina is already 44 years old. Ronda Rousey is 5 years younger and she used to be very fierce. However, I remember watching Ronda lose to Holly Holm. It was the No. 1 sensation back then.
So the outcome of this fight is not predetermined and it creates an intrigue!

Perhaps because during the time of Gina, women's MMA is still it's infancy. And when she leave, obviously they forget about her and think the Rousey is the one the put the women's fighting into the map.

Hopefully the fight is not going to be a setup and this two are going at it. Because this is the first time that I have seen Rousey respected her opponent unlike others like Holm, Miesha Tate and that Brazilian (forget her name).

The change between Gina and Ronda shows how fast the MMA industry is changing, and even disregards its predecessors. The fact that Rousey was calm this time around begs the question as to whether this is a mental game or Rousey has matured in her profession. The fact is that nobody can forget about the Brazilian star player Cris Cyborg, and people are looking forward to having a match in which both players will have a chance to demonstrate their sport skills fully.

Some interesting things happening in the betting market.  The official odds give Rousey an 86% chance to win the fight (low in my opinion).  In spite of that, 94% of the bets being made are for Carano to win.  Either people know something, or that is some serious wishful thinking...  I agree with that from a gambling standpoint though.  There's no money to be made betting on Rousey.  You just have to hope for another Holly Holm situation.

It is wishful thinking if anyone think that Gina Carano would become an elite ground specialist after her retirement and that she could compete against an Olympic Judo medalist.

I would like to see a stand up bout for the first few minutes and would like to see the patented clinch game of Gina and some leg kicks and then Ronda can do her Harai Goshi throw and end up in an arm bar and call it a night.

The actual fight that everyone should be vested in this card will be Nate Diaz and Mike Perry, Mike emerged to become a bare knuckle legend after his UFC days and personally I want to see this fight and the most anticipated fight in the entire card.

Another return is Junior dos Santos, interested to see how he performs after his UFC days.

Finally Francis Ngannou gets a new home after a block buster career in PFL who fought once after departing from the UFC and still made money but PFL lost a shit ton of money.

But this is why it is called MMA, because anyone can uses her own style not just a Judo medalist. Yes, Rousey might have a advantage on the ground and once she got a hold of you she will just throw you down. She was able to neutralized Rousey and it was the first time that she was exposed, no other game plan but to clinch and go to armbar for submission.

But for sure Gina will be ready for that, she has a good stand up game and we've seen Rousey lost to fighter like Holm who has a combination of kick boxing. And Amanda Nunes who is good at striking.

It's one of those fights that took a long time to come together. They have two very different styles, which makes it even more interesting. Plus, they were both dominant fighters in their prime, and they also share the fact that they essentially retired after losing. That always leaves a fighter's ego hungry for one more fight.

I think Rousey will win if she can put her losses behind her... but Carano definitely won't make it easy for her.

Because they didn't exist in the same era. Gina was the first when she retires, Rousey came into the picture with her arm bar submission and rejuvenate the women's MMA. And both shared that they went into Hollywood after retiring.

I think Rousey will win if she can put her losses behind her... but Carano definitely won't make it easy for her.

We will see in this fight, it took years for Rousey to get over that losses. But yes, Carano has the advantage on the stand up and striking so it won't be that easy for Rousey to used her judo and just take down Gina.

A match between these two MMA iconic ladies of the sport was a dream realized but unfortunately it was never to be in the octagon. The different approaches of the judo used by Rousey and muay Thai used by Carano were sure to provide a beautiful technical contrast. The fact is that the ego of fighters is difficult to put out and therefore the mental state of Rousey who has lost a fight will be one of the key factors whether this fight will occur or not.

[viljy]

Well, so far the odds are ~4:1 in favor of Ronda Rousey (Polymarket). I bet on Gina. Since the bet is small, it doesn't make sense to bet on the Ronda for a paltry win. And so, at least there is a chance to win x5, well, and losing a few dollars is acceptable. Of course, for those who bet $100 or more, it makes sense to think about betting on Ronda Rousey. Good luck!

The fight is definitely going to happen, it's already set and the one that handles it is Jake Paul's company MVP. Well it's not just a physical fight, it's more on a mental game and their age is going to be a big factor too.

But this is just for the fun and this fight could be a setup that it might end up in a draw so that no ego is going to be hurt but at least for women's fan of MMA this is going to be a historic and we all have been dreaming to see that fight happening right now.

Rousey have benefit and seems ready than Carano phisically against Carano that are not fought in MMA for a long time.

People predict Rousey will win with his advantage but we will see it later and if Carano can still gives her best fight, perhaps she will have more chances than Rousey to win. At the time, I don't know which will I choose as I am not frequent to watch both.

[GoldenLeaf007]

I remember the first time I saw Ronda fight, I was thinking 'that's what a strong woman looks like'. It was unbelievable how quickly she could finish her opponents. Carano was the pioneer, but in their prime, I think Ronda’s grappling would have been too much to handle. My pick is Ronda.

[OgNasty]

This is happening in just over 30 hours. I’m excited for the opportunity to watch Gina Carano fight, but I am worried for her. She looks like an older woman and I can only imagine how she feels… I just hope she doesn’t get physically hurt with some lasting injury and that Ronda lets this fight go longer than one round.

[coin-investor]

I just hope she doesn’t get physically hurt with some lasting injury and that Ronda lets this fight go longer than one round.

Same thoughts as yours, I'm impressed with Ronda's physique, the same physique she had when she was in the UFC. We all know Ronda; she wants to finish fast, and she was aggressive about it.
If she still has it, we'll find out. Carano's chances are a long shot, but we never know, since both women have a long history of inactivity.

They are friends too and this is their last big event almost certainly. I wouldn’t put it past them to have bet big on Gina just to let her win and collect an even bigger payday. You hope this sort of thing wouldn’t happen, but I think that’s the only way Gina has a chance and the gamblers are certainly betting on something unexpected happening…

Age and inactivity of both the fighters are a huge factor but expecting a domination by Ronda Rousey.

But this is just for the fun and this fight could be a setup that it might end up in a draw so that no ego is going to be hurt but at least for women's fan of MMA this is going to be a historic and we all have been dreaming to see that fight happening right now.

This is not an exhibition bout but a sanctioned professional bout by the California State Athletic Commission, so there will be a result unless they tie on the scorecard.

But for sure Gina will be ready for that, she has a good stand up game and we've seen Rousey lost to fighter like Holm who has a combination of kick boxing. And Amanda Nunes who is good at striking.

There is a big difference between Holly Holm, who was a world class boxing champion across multiple weight divisions with 14 world titles in her name before venturing into MMA and when Ronda faced Holm, I placed a bet on Holm because she was a heavy underdog and both her striking pedigree and takedown defense were overlooked by the oddsmakers.

If you remember, Edmond Tarverdyan who was the coach of Ronda Rousey hyped up the deluded idea that Ronda Rousey could defeat any professional boxer and Ronda bought into that hype and that was the reason she was defeated from pillar to post.

In the case of Amanda Nunes, in her early career she had cardio issues and would gas out in the later rounds but she had a resurgence after the Cat Zingano loss where she was dominated in the first round and gassed out and ended up loosing, after that loss she moved to American Top Team and changed her career completely and that is when she faced Ronda Rousey and by that time she was an elite striker.

Gina Carano was a good striker but not in the level of Holly Holm or Amanda Nunes.
