Jake Paul 's Most Valuable Promotions puts on its first mixed martial arts card tomorrow, which is now set following the official Rousey vs. Carano weigh-ins. MVP's debut MMA event is headlined by a highly anticipated fight between former Olympian and Ultimate Fighting Championship women's bantamweight titleholder Ronda Rousey and former EliteXC and Strikeforce star Gina Carano .
Both women successfully hit their marks for their first fights in 10 and 17 years, respectively. In total, all 22 fighters for the event made their contracted weight. A pair of title fight knockout losses ended the career of Rousey (12-2).
Prior to a shocking head kick defeat to Holly Holm , Rousey was seen as the most dominant fighter in the sport and had racked up 12 straight wins and six UFC title defenses. "Rowdy" would return again a year later, losing to Amanda Nunes in less than a minute and then retiring from the sport, although she's stayed in the spotlight with acting and professional wrestling. For her return bout, Rousey weighed 142 pounds.
Carano (7-1) also started out as an undefeated phenom. One of the faces of EliteXC, Carano started her career with seven straight wins, including finishes of Kaitlin Young and Tonya Evinger . However, a TKO defeat to Cristiane Justino in 2009 was the last time she laced up the gloves.
