Henry Cavill girlfriend Gina Carano has been in negotiations to pen with the UFC. According to Fox Sports, the former "Strikeforce" champ was eyed to have a bout with bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey for her first fight. Reportedly, negotiations with Carano have come to a pause and won't likely push thru anytime soon according to UFC President Dana White. After being confident that a deal with her can be closed, it fell out.
"The hardest human being we've ever dealt with and I didn't see it coming," White said about trying to sign Carano. "I don't know, we'll see how these things play out. Just incredibly difficult. We've dealt with (Brock) Lesnar, Tito (Ortiz), Chuck (Liddell) was f--king king of the world, Ronda Rousey, we've pretty much done deals with everyone on Earth and she is the hardest f--king athlete we have ever dealt with."
"The problem is she allows herself to be handled by these Hollywood f--king idiots. It's absolutely crazy. We've had all the biggest superstars in the world. You're talking about a girl who hasn't fought in a while. Any time you deal with anyone in f--king Hollywood it's a joke. It's literally a joke, it's comical. You feel like you're in a 'Saturday Night Live' skit," White said. "This can't be f--king real. In dealing with her people, I don't know if it can be done."
According to Fox Sports, White negotiated with Carano's reps which later on allowed UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta to handle. Reportedly, things got worse and the co-owner just gave up.
"I'm going to tell you what Lorenzo (Fertitta) said to me -- he said whatever you do, if you want this fight to happen, do not talk to her manager," White said. "That's what Lorenzo said to me. He said 'you will f--king go crazy, you will lose your mother----ing mind. If you want this to happen, please don't call this guy.' A few days ago Lorenzo was like 'it's probably time for you to call this guy.' That's how bad it's been. I'll leave it at that."
Reportedly, White doesn't hold any personal grudges to Carano but he believes she's allowing her managers to handle the negotiations which made her return to UFC difficult one.
