Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano might work together, but it will not be inside the Octagon. These two women’s MMA pioneers came into the news after ‘Rowdy‘ gracefully offered to compete in a mixed martial arts bout against her idol ‘Conviction‘ on the Kurt Angle Show.

The Olympian judoka’s callout spread like wildfire and reached the MMA-fighter-turned-Hollywood star, Carano, who addressed it in an interview with Fox News.

Promoting her new movie ‘Terror on the Prairie’, ‘Conviction’ was asked about her comeback against Rousey in an MMA contest. The former EliteXC and Strikeforce athlete initially laughed it off, but then said, “You know what, I just never put it past me.”

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.

The Hollywood actress is busy with her projects. While promoting her new movie, she also broke the silence on cancel culture. And now with her confirming she wants to explore more in the movies department, a Rousey showdown could happen in reel life rather than real life.

‘Conviction’ never fought in the UFC, yet she remains a pioneer of MMA for her work before the premier organization let women compete at the highest level.

Ronda Rousey was the first women’s fighter, champion, main event, and an all-out star. Besides, she still remains the biggest women’s star in MMA. Thus, a bout between these legends interests fight fanatics even after both retired years ago.

Ronda Rousey’s comment on The Kurt Angle Show startled fight fans- “There’s only one person I would come back for… Gina Carano, she’s the reason why I got into fighting.”

It is high praise indeed, but both women are busy in their respective fields. While Rousey is competing in WWE, the ex-Mandalorian star is busy with her Hollywood career.
