Carano, who has a 7-3 record in the UFC, has been open about her struggles to find work in Hollywood following her firing from The Mandalorian. However, she has now found a new opportunity in the world of MMA, which she credits Rousey for providing.
The Rousey fight is set to be a highly anticipated matchup, with both women looking to make a statement in the Octagon. Carano's comeback fight marks a significant moment in her career, and fans are eagerly awaiting the outcome.
Carano's journey from being fired from The Mandalorian to returning to the UFC is a testament to her resilience and determination. As she prepares to face Rousey, the 38-year-old is optimistic about her chances of success and has hinted at a potential long-term commitment to the world of MMA.
