Henry Cavill girlfriend Gina Carano's anticipated title bout with defending champion Ronday Rousey is still under challenging negotiations. ESPN reported that UFC president Dana White says he is still "positive" about the possibility of having a done deal with former fighter but negotiations are "complicated." While spectators' view varies widely regarding this proposed match, Bleacher Report noted that UFC is right to try to "make this fight happen" for it will do "more good than harm."
Reportedly, the options for Rousey's next opponent for the women's bantamweight division are very slim since its top contender, Cat Zingano, is cracking a serious knee injury. According to Bleacher Report, interest for rematches among the four women that Rousey has defeated in Top Five is low.
Rousey publicly asserts that a bout with Carano is "something that she has wanted since the first time she laid eyes on the sport."
While Carano has not fought for almost five years, a match with her might be intriguing since she has proven herself as a solid fighter with her 7-1 run.
Carano faced tough veterans like Rosi Sexton, Kaitlin Young, Tonya Evinger and Julie Kedzie in the cage where she dominated. She only had a single loss to "Cyborg" Justino in August 2009.
As to preparation, it is not known to the public how much Carano has been training on her own. Reportedly earlier this year, Carano expressed her motives for returning to the fight game when she appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show.
"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.
According to Bleacher Report, "MMA is not purely sport, it is part spectacle." The largest factor in why the UFC is right in booking this fight is because the vast majority of fans will care about it.
