Henry Cavill girlfriend Gina Carano's possible title match with Ronda Rousey is not a good idea for the former "Strikeforce" champion according to Randy Couture. According to MMA Fighting site, Couture has helped train Carano in the past, and he thinks that the idea is "fair or prudent for the former Strikeforce and EliteXC standout."

"I think it's silly. It'd be silly for Gina," Couture argued. "I think Gina has way more to lose there than she has to gain in stepping right in to a title fight after being off and off the mats in training environment for the last five years. And frankly, I think she's done an amazing job with her movie career," he continued. "I don't know why she would want to do that. I think if they give her a chance to really get her feet back under her and get back up to technical speed where she was, it would be a very interesting fight."

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.

Reportedly, as Couture noted, he doesn't know why Carano is playing with the idea of a return to the cage. He and Carano haven't discussed the issue. They way he sees it, Carano has athletic dreams left unfulfilled.

"I think it's a personal decision. I think if she's got more to do or feels like she has more to do in that cage, then she needs to settle that and come back, make a run at it and do it 100 percent. But those are personal decisions. It's not for me to say," he noted.
