Henry Cavill girlfriend Gina Carano and Ronda Rousey is anticipated to have a match this December. According to Cagewriter, UFC President Dana White told reporters that the fight is not on the UFC's annual New Year's Eve card; instead it is the only pay-per-view the UFC has scheduled in December. Yahoo Sports reported that even Carano has been out from MMA since 2009, a bout with her is allegedly interesting that it would most likely make the "biggest-money fight the UFC can put on any time soon." However, recent reports say that the contract negotiations with the former "Strikeforce" champ is "complicated."
"It's complicated. I'm very positive about it, but it's complicated. I'm still working on it. That's all I can say," White stated on Saturday night's UFC on Fox 12 post-fight press conference.
Bleacher Report noted that Carano is "widely considered to be the original face of women's MMA." Reportedly, she started it while Rousey helped in putting female participants on mainstream map. Rousey publicly asserts that a bout with Carano is "something that she has wanted since the first time she laid eyes on the sport."
"Gina is important. I think it is a big fight. It's a fight that Ronda Rousey wants, and Ronda's been very good to us. If that's what she wants, then I'm gonna try and get it done," White stated regarding Carano's immediate title shot.
Carano has not fought for almost five years after her 7-0 run was ended in a first-round TKO loss to "Cyborg" Justino in August 2009, instead she ventured on a movie career.
Reportedly earlier this year, Carano appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show and expressed her motives for returning to the fight game.
"I love it (fighting). It's something I can do that makes everything else disappear, and I dream about it. I just didn't know if I was ever going to, you know, get placed with the opportunity to make a comeback. So, I'm either going to do it now, or I'm gonna retire and just say, 'Ok, I'm never gonna do it.' So, like now is the moment, I feel," she said.
Will it be a hint of Carano's possible first UFC's Octagon fight?
