It seems that Rousey is willing to become friends with Carano, too. The former UFC superstar revealed that she wanted to make Gina Carano get back in shape, which is why she came up with this fight.

“I was nine months pregnant, and I saw a video of Gina Carano giving an interview, and she didn’t look good,” Rousey said. “She gained an unhealthy amount of weight. My first thought was, ‘Oh my god. What can I do? What can I do to help?’ The reason I had that thought was she’s the one woman not only in MMA who also doesn’t owe me a damn thing, but that I owe immensely. I’m always trying to look at what I could do for her.”

Both actresses appeared in the Fast & Furious franchise, but they didn’t share the screen.
