Rousey: Carano deserves an immediate title shot
Ronda Rousey: ” I don’t think it would make sense for her to come back and fight somebody else and take the risk of maybe losing…”
Recently rumors have been swirling about a return to fighting for Gina Carano and potential showdown with UFC women’s champion Ronda Rousey.
Rousey herself has been pretty quiet on the subject, but today gave an interview to MMAFighting and express she believed Carano was worthy of an immediate title shot:
“I think it would be the best thing for women’s MMA,” said Rousey, who wasn’t scheduled to be part of the event pushing UFC 173, but showed up midway through. “I think it would be the highest profile fight that could be done. I don’t think it would make sense for her to come back and fight somebody else and take the risk of maybe losing and not being able to capitalize on the fight between me and her. I think it would make more sense to go straight to a title fight.”
