Former UFC champion gives bold Ronda Rousey vs. | MMA News
When Most Valuable Promotions and Netflix announced last month that former UFC ladies’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey would return to the cage to take on fellow ladies’s MMA pioneer Gina Carano, it despatched shockwaves throughout fight sports activities.
Rousey, 39, last fought in December 2016, dropping to Amanda Nunes via TKO at UFC 207. Carano, 43, hasn’t fought since August 2009, dropping to Cris Cyborg by TKO for the inaugural Strikeforce Women’s Featherweight Championship. Despite having been years since either competed, both still have family names and the bout is anticipated to draw big numbers. But who will win?
Former UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra weighed in on the matchup, their conflicting types and gave his prediction for the May 16 conflict at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.
“I love it. They’re still young enough. You know what I mean? And you talk about, you know, neither took damage. I mean, Ronda been doing the wrestling which could do damage on you, but as far as blows to the head and stuff, they’re coming off the couch fresh,” Serra said on his YouTube channel. “They’ve got to get in shape. Gina hasn’t fought in forever, but it’s not like you don’t know how to fight. You’ve got to just knock the rust off.”
As far as the result, Serra believes Rousey has a important benefit if the combat goes to the ground.
“If it hits the floor, which Ronda’s No. 1 game plan should be, I feel that it should be a submission fairly quickly,” Serra said. “First-round submission, Ronda Rousey. I’m going to say arm lock.”
