Amanda Nunes responded to Ronda Rousey’s 17-second armbar win over Gina Carano with a neutral-face emoji, signaling little enthusiasm for the Netflix main event.
Rousey returned to MMA nearly 10 years after Nunes knocked her out at UFC 207 and finished Carano almost immediately in Most Valuable Promotions’ first MMA card on Netflix.
Gina Carano, fighting for the first time in 17 years after dropping nearly 100 pounds, praised Rousey afterward even as fans questioned whether the matchup should have been booked.
Rousey said she will retire again after the bout, while Carano left open the possibility of another fight and has mentioned Kayla Harrison as a potential opponent.
Following a 17-second loss, will Gina Carano's comeback continue with a fight against Kayla Harrison?
Will MVP's high-pay model and Netflix backing finally break the UFC's long-held monopoly in MMA?
After his devastating knockout, is Francis Ngannou's next fight against Jon Jones or Jake Paul?
