In the past, these two were often rumored to have a contest. And to this date, fight fanatics want the showdown. That said, there has been no conflict between them. In fact, The Rowdy One considers the Mandalorian star her idol. Further, Carano, previously, has advised Rousey when she suffered a brutal loss against Amanda Nunes at UFC 207.
How was Ronda Rousey involved in Daniel Cormier and Gina Carano feud?
A former dual champion wasn’t appreciative of Carano for her advice to Rowdy Ronda. And it created a beef between top mixed martial arts practitioners.
The former EliteXC & Strikeforce athlete Carano, who found her footing in Hollywood, offered Rousey to showcase the ‘artist’ side of her. ‘Conviction’, who retired from the sport of MMA after her first loss to Cris Cyborg, received the heat from 2-time Olympian Daniel Cormier for her remarks.
The UFC commentator said, “Gina Carano, who are you to tell Ronda Rousey what to do?… If I’ve got to look back on your career and you choosing to act over fighting and continuing to fight… [Gina Carano’s] career has not been what it would have been if she stayed fighting.”
Further, Cormier gave advice of his own to the 6-time UFC bantamweight champion. ‘DC‘ said, “Ronda, don’t listen to someone that I feel didn’t make the right choice.”
The ex-dual UFC champion urged Rousey to continue fighting. However, The Arm Collector never stepped back inside the Octagon.
Meanwhile, Deadpool & Haywire star didn’t receive the Louisiana-born’s comments pleasingly. Subsequently, Carano posted a tweet to express her emotions as Cormier’s comments were flooding the internet.
