Gina Carano explains why dream UFC bout with Ronda Rousey never happened
TL;DR Summary
Gina Carano says a planned 2014 UFC showdown with Ronda Rousey collapsed after Dana White publicly discussed the fight and sent a confrontational text; she asked for six months to prepare, but the miscommunication and White’s approach led her to end communication, so the bout never happened in the UFC, though the idea remains part of her comeback narrative.
