Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano are finally set to collide in what may be the wildest MMA comeback fight in years and the internet is absolutely losing its mind over it.

The long-rumored showdown between the two former faces of women’s MMA will headline MVP MMA 1 at the Intuit Dome in California this Saturday, with Netflix streaming the chaos live worldwide.

For combat sport fans, this is pure nostalgia injected with madness.

Rousey hasn’t fought since getting brutally knocked out by Amanda Nunes back in 2016, while Carano has been away from MMA for an unbelievable 17 years. 

The former Strikeforce star revealed she dropped a staggering 100 pounds to prepare for the bout after struggling with health and mobility issues in recent years.

UFC gurus predict Rousey as a massive favourite since Carano has been away from fighting for a long period of time; however, the experts didn’t rule what many describe as an “upset”.

One viral betting thread on Reddit bluntly declared: “Gina hasn’t fought in 17 years,” with users calling Rousey by submission “free money.” Others joked the event feels like “a Hollywood fever dream” rather than a real MMA card.

UFC fightcard:

• Francis Ngannou vs Philipe Lins
• Nate Diaz vs Mike Perry
• Rousey vs Carano

After years away from fighting, both women are about to test whether legends can still survive inside the cage or whether this entire spectacle ends in disaster.

Prince William, who has stressed on how he would be taking a step further from his father King Charles to slim down the monarchy in his reign, appears to be making a special exception for his cousin, Zara Tindall.

Princess Anne is known for her loyalty and life-long dedication to the firm and her daughter is no different. Even though Zara does not hold a working royal title, she is actively seen during key events to support her uncle and her cousin.

She checks all the boxes for being the perfect senior royal, but there is a privilege that Zara enjoys, which is something that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wanted from the firm. Hence, after the departure of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Zara has been quietly filling a hole for the royals as part of her secret upgrade, according to royal experts.

Prince William and Prince Harry’s cousin has “nailed” her position with the royals and her personal preferences, expert Jennie Bond insisted.

“She’s a star at royal garden parties – which is why she keeps getting asked back – and brings a relaxed sense of fun to every conversation,” Bond told the Mirror.

“She and her husband, Mike, remain very close to William and Catherine and I’m sure they will both be called on to help out at events like garden parties for many years to come. In many ways, Mike is like the brother William has lost in Harry.”

Bond explained that Zara may not want to become a full-time working royal even though she is “brilliant” at it. The official role would impose restrictions on her freedom despite which is not something that she would like to give up.

“I don’t think there’s any prospect of her swapping her ‘civilian’ life for one bound by royal duties.”

On the other hand, Harry’s hopes for a return, or to offer a helping hand to his brother during his reign, would prove to be even more difficult as Zara would fill in whenever needed.
