Her legacy includes an impressive record and a lasting impact on the sport.
The launch press conference for Rousey vs. Carano is scheduled for March 5th at the Intuit Dome. More fights are expected on the card, which will be announced soon.Ronda came to me and told me that there was only one person she would come back for and that it was her dream to make this fight happen between us. This is an honor.
