When UFC commentator Joe Rogan appeared on KROQ’s Kevin & Bean Show recently and said there’d be a “huge announcement” about women’s MMA and possibly Ronda Rousey ’s next opponent, it started a firestorm of speculation. Rumors quickly swirled, and predictions were made. The one that caught the most traction was that former Elite XC women’s featherweight champion Gina Carano was going to sign with the UFC and face Rousey. It turns out, the UFC doesn’t have to sign Carano because she still has four fights left on her Strikeforce contract. “Gina is under contract,” said UFC president Dana White following the UFC Fight Night 37 post-fight press conference on London on Saturday. “She’s got four fights left on her Strikeforce contract.” Carano walked away from fighting for a more lucrative career in Hollywood after losing to Cris Cyborg in 2009.
