Have Ronda Rousey & Gina Carano Fought Before?
No – this is a fight that has been over a decade in the making.
Carano previously revealed that she was offering $1 million to face Rousey back in 2019, but claimed the fight collapsed due to a bust-up with UFC President Dana White.
“I asked him to just keep it quiet for six months while I built a team and got ready," Carano said during an appearance on the Ariel Helwani Show in 2019. “The next day, he's talking about it publicly. That broke the trust.”
Carano later received a text message from White that was clearly intended for somebody else because it read, “this b**** isn’t f*****g us around.” She responded to the message by telling White, “I think you sent that to the wrong person”, only for White to reply with, “I don’t think I did”, ending the negotiations.
While White did later apologise for the incident, Carano stated she was ‘turned off’ by the “abuse of authority” and that resulted in her never competing under the UFC banner.

Ronda Rousey has revealed the opportunity to promote the fight was presented to UFC President Dana White, but told ESPN MMA that “it didn’t exactly work out”.

“MVP has always been driven by disruption and delivering the biggest moments in combat sports on a global scale, and we are officially bringing that energy to MMA for the first time,” said MVP co-founders Paul and Nakisa Bidarian.
