Im surprised this hasnt been discussed. But during the Dublin pre fight scrum, Dana said Monday he is getting the deal done with Carano and she will fight Rousey . and he ruled out the late DEC and New years cards and said it would most likely be the early DEC card.

This could be official on Monday

^^^ Post of the day. 

Even though I sympathize with Pettis, being a chronically-injured fighter myself.

If this fight really happens, i hope its more violent then Rousey vs Davis. This is a money grab, and we all know it. Pair it up with a fight that everybody wants to see anyway, Pettis vs Gil, and boom. I hope it doesnt go down, which it will probably not go down. Signing Carano and giving her a title shot after 5 years on inactivity will only expose WMMA for the joke that many people already think it is.......give her Holly or Cyborg, stop feeding her these easy, 1st round finishes.....

agreed.

but good as u can always expect injuries and this way even with an injury you can still expect a good card. not like these stupid cards relying on one good title fight

Yeah, Dana said the UFC would never do three title fights one card ever again. I guess they tried that early in the Zuffa era, and it was a miserable card for everyone.

Bellator did that last year and it backfired on them as well. Most of the time, more is not always better.

Rousey vs Carano doesn't seem likely now, unless they do decide to stick on the New Year's show.

I can see them doing 3 title fights if they ever get that Cowboy Stadium show they've been wanting to do, especially if they put title fights with notorious finishers.

If they did Rousey vs Carano they really would need to do it some justice and give Carano one fight back. Bottom line is Gina sells. So booking her to fight one of the many beatable girls on their roster will get them a little paycheck plus get her some publicity to lead into a title fight.
