However, she presented her busy schedule as a big hurdle. While suggesting she could team up with Rousey, Gina Carano hinted at a place where the bout could take place.

“I really want to create, direct; I want to produce; I want to give artists, I want to give Ronda Rousey a job in one of my movies. So, maybe there’s something we could do there,” the 40-year-old said.
