- Ronda Rousey announced an upcoming fight against Gina Carano in a BBC Sport interview published 15 May, framed by the BBC as a comeback.
- Rousey told BBC Sport that 'people should have never doubted me,' and used the interview to discuss her future as a promoter and share opinions on the UFC.
Why it matters: Rousey, labeled an 'MMA legend' by the BBC, is reentering the public eye with a marquee matchup against Carano while opening a new chapter as a promoter. The BBC sit-down puts both the fight and her post-fighting career direction on the record for the first time.
