Ronda Rousey Comments On Her MMA Return Airing On Netflix: Bet You We Can Beat UFC’s Numbers On Paramount Plus

Rousey takes a fun jab at the UFC.

For the first time since 2016, UFC Hall of Famer Ronda Rousey will be stepping back into the octagon. She’ll be making her return on May 16th against Gina Carano.

The fight is taking place at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, and it is happening under Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions.

Rousey versus Carano is going to be streaming on Netflix, and while on X, Rousey promoted the fight and noted that she bets the Netflix numbers will do better than UFC’s numbers on Paramount Plus.

This rivalry has so many layers – @netflix isnt playing around – bet you we can beat @paramountplus’ @ufc numbers 😈👊🏼🔥https://t.co/0GyZ1M2d2B

While doing media after the fight announcement, Rousey revealed that she first pitched her MMA return to UFC CEO Dana White, but he was not on board.

Rousey has a 12-2-0 MMA record, and her two losses were in her final two fights against Holly Holm and Amanda Nunes.
