John Wood said he leans "more to a yes than a no" on Gina Carano fighting again after her 17-second submission loss to Ronda Rousey.
Wood said Carano rediscovered her love of fighting in camp and still has opponents she can beat, with activity already building behind the scenes.
He argued a second comeback would be different because Carano, 44, already completed the hard part of dropping 100 pounds and could devote a full camp to sharpening her skills.
The loss came in Carano's Netflix return bout, where Rousey finished her quickly for the latest in a string of sub-60-second submission wins.

After a 17-second loss, will massive Netflix numbers pave Carano's return to Hollywood or the MMA cage?
