Former MMA fighters Gina Carano and Ronda Rousey successfully completed their weigh-ins Friday, setting up their featherweight clash scheduled for Saturday at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif.
Rousey hit the scales at 142 pounds, while Carano registered 141.4 pounds.
Following the official weigh-in, Carano shared details on social media about her weight achievement, describing it as a significant personal accomplishment.
“I just weighed in at 141.4 lbs. Since Sept 2024 to today, May 15, 2026, I have lost 100lbs,” Carano disclosed in an X.com post. “It hurts to say that and share but I am going to share it because I worked so damn hard every week for over a year and a half to shed this weight. It did not happen overnight.
Carano expressed gratitude to Rousey, “who waited patiently while I lost this weight,” and acknowledged that Rousey provided her “something to aim for.”
Both fighters are considered legends in mixed martial arts, though neither has competed since 2016. Carano’s last bout dates back to 2009. Their upcoming match is part of Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions event streaming on Netflix, featuring several former UFC competitors.
The 39-year-old Rousey built her reputation with a 12-2 record primarily competing at bantamweight (135 pounds), while 44-year-old Carano should be comfortable at the current weight class, having achieved a 7-1 record fighting predominantly around 140 pounds.
