Lucasfilm axed Gina Carano from the Disney+ show ‘The Mandalorian’ after she made some controversial comments on her social handles.
Carano talked about how the movie ‘Terror on the Prairie’ was’ like closure of a particularly painful experience’.

Carano moved from competing in mixed martial arts in 2009 after the Cyborg loss. Though she had a bout scheduled against Sarah D’Alelio in 2011, she wasn’t medically cleared, and the bout was scrapped. Thus, the 40-year-old movie star is out of the active MMA competition for nearly 13 years.

Ronda Rousey, on the other hand, who idolizes Carano, competed for the UFC and Strikeforce promotions and was a dominant champion in both promotions. She last competed at UFC 207 against Amanda Nunes. After the loss, she moved to pro wrestling and found similar success in the WWE as in her UFC run.
Though a showdown between these two megastars will be a remarkable event for the UFC, getting them inside the Octagon could prove a hefty task.
