Ronda Rousey ‘won’t hesitate’ to break Gina Carano’s arm in MMA superfight

Rousey vs. Carano Netflix

Ronda Rousey vs Gina Carano is set to take place this weekend from the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. During the last press conference for the first ever MVP MMA event, Rousey admitted that she would be hesitant when it came to breaking the arm of her opponent Carano during the fight, despite the mutual respect the two appear to have for each other.

“I definitely wouldn’t have any hesitation in breaking it” Rousey replied when asked if she would be hesitant to break her opponent’s arm during the fight. “But I also wouldn’t hesitate in putting it back in place, it’s kind of a wax on wax off kind of situation. You know, you don’t really break it, you just kind of dislocate it” Rousey added.

“It’s not that bad, I’ve had my elbow go out several times because I didn’t tap and I thought I was really cool when I was young and I wouldn’t pay for it when I was older. But yeah, I wouldn’t hesitate and I would make sure to put it back” Rousey finished.

Ronda Rousey Armbar

Rousey averaged 4.8 submission attempts per 15 minutes in the UFC, the highest figure in women’s bantamweight history (via UFCStats). Her average fight time across 12 pro bouts is 3 minutes and 5 seconds. Eleven of her 12 wins are finishes, most by armbar. It’s very likely that ‘Rowdy’ will try to use her standard template of close the distance, tie up in the clinch, throw with a hip toss, take side control and isolate the arm in this fight.
