NEW YORK – Gina Carano vows to give her best performance against Ronda Rousey . Carano and Rousey make their return on MVP's first MMA card live on Netflix, which takes place May 16 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. Both pioneers are coming back after long layoffs, with Carano having not competed since 2009.
The lead-up to the fight between Carano and Rousey has been respectful and cordial, but that won't stop Carano from competing to the best of her ability. "Just because I know how to speak and respect my opponent doesn't mean I don't wake up every morning at 3 a. m.
, and I'm fighting her in my head every morning at 3 a. m," Carano told MMA Junkie and other reporters during a scrum following an MVP press conference on Wednesday. "I respect her so much.
I want to give her the best of me. She's been chasing me for a long time. It would be a disappointment if I didn't hit her as hard as I could.
