Gina Carano admits Ronda Rousey ‘would’ve broken my arm’ if comeback fight had continued

• 44-year-old lost comeback fight in just 17 seconds

• Carano hints she may return to compete again

Gina Carano has admitted she would have faced serious harm if she hadn’t tapped out of her comeback fight against Ronda Rousey on Saturday night.

The 44-year-old hadn’t fought since 2009 when she faced Rousey in the contest, which was part of a high-profile MMA card on Netflix. The fight was a complete mismatch and lasted just 17 seconds, with Carano tapping out after Rousey, who was making her own comeback after nearly a decade away from competition, put her opponent in an armbar.
