Gina Carano said her arm had begun to “crackle” before she tapped out to Ronda Rousey’s armbar, saying she would have suffered serious injury if she had not submitted.
The 44-year-old’s comeback fight on Saturday lasted 17 seconds, ending a 17-year gap since her last bout in 2009 and underscoring the mismatch on Netflix’s high-profile MMA card.
In an Instagram post Monday, Carano called the defeat “very humbling” but praised Rousey as a “legend” after the former champion’s own return from nearly a decade away.
Carano, whose acting career faltered after her firing from The Mandalorian, hinted she may fight again, while Rousey has said Saturday’s bout was the last of her career.
