Although it has been rumored Gina Carano will return to mixed martial arts to face UFC women’s bantamweight queen Ronda Rousey, the ex-Strikeforce titlist currently has other endeavors lined up for the second half of 2014.
With UFC President Dana White promising a Carano signing “soon,” the reality could be that she signs with the promotion sometime in 2015, if at all.
Carano’s Hollywood exploits could slow plans for a pairing with Rousey by the end of 2014. Rousey has publicly stated that she prefers Carano as her next opponent over other potential options such as Cat Zingano or Holly Holm.
