According to Gina Carano, she was set to face Ronda Rousey in her UFC debut. However, things did not fall in place and she blamed Dana White for ruining the possibilities of a mega-fight. Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano are undoubtedly two of the biggest females fighters in the world. They are also regarded for their modelling and Hollywood achievements. Both of them are no longer in touch with MMA, but they could have fought in the past. At least, that's what Gina Carano claims.

The former Strikeforce Featherweight queen claimed that it was the last time she had a conversation with UFC President Dana White. She again met Dana White at a sports hall of fame in Las Vegas, where the UFC president came up and apologized to her.
