Gina Carano vs Ronda Rousey?
While we know that Dana White would kill himself to do anything to make his "girlfriend" look better in the cage, this is ridiculous.
Or silly as Randy Couture put it.
Gina hasn't fought in over five years, after that crushing defeat by Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino.
To put her back in the ring and right in there with Ronda would be stupid.
And it would be a very hollow victory when she won.
Even though I'm sure Dana would tout it as the greatest win ever.
Maybe they need to put that fight on the back burner and focus on women like Amanda Nunes and Cat Zingano.
Ladies that are still actually fighting in the UFC.

Dana White, Ronda Rousey and the UFC
Dana White, Ronda Rousey and the UFC
Well either UFC President Dana White had a huge change of mind...or he's getting ready to get into politics!
In a flip-flop that would make any candidate envious, Dana told Sports Illustrated that a female division of the UFC IS going to happen...mainly because of Ronda Rousey.
Dana, who has sworn up and down that women would NEVER fight in the UFC (although he had NO problem with using Gina Carano to promote things) now says that "It's absolutely going to happen,".
Although he does add that it "could happen tomorrow, it could happen a year from now."
Uh-huh.....

Gina Carano in the WEC?
Gina Carano may wind up in the WEC (World Extreme Cagefighting).If she does, that will pretty much make Carano their centerpiece.
Now imagine that, a female MMA star as the main attraction of a promotion.
"White said he is thinking of inviting Gina Carano to fight in the WEC. Carrano had been fighting in the now defunct EliteXC. "Gina Carano is a star, I think she's talented. I think she's got all the tools, so what I'm willing to do is bring Gina into the WEC. We could do fights whenever there's a challenger for Gina. That's how I'll test the waters and see how it goes." In the past, White has dismissed talk of having women fight in his organization, saying there wasn't enough talent out there."

If this does pan out, will it signal a change in the thinking of MMA promotors?
NOW is there enough talent?
And what about Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos?
Will Dana White invite her as well?
Gina's gotta fight somebody......
