UFC talks with Gina Carano stalled, Holly Holm ongoing
Negotions between the UFC and Gina Carano has stalled, but things with Holly Holm “progressing and are in a good place,” according to Ariel Helwani.
Ariel Helwani reported recently on UFC Tonight about negotiations between the UFC and two potential contenders for women’s welterweight champion Ronda Rousey – Gina Carano and Holly Holm.
Negotiations between Carano and the UFC have stalled. The situation is not dead in the water, as both sides still wish to work together, but as of this writing, Carano’s Strikeforce contract has expired and the actress, who last fought in mid-2009 and this year turned 32 years old, is free to look elsewhere if she so desires.
Talks between Zuffa officials and former world champion boxer Holly Holm (7-0) are “progressing and are in a good place,” according to Helwani, although a final deal has yet to be reached.
