The technical specifics of the fight reveal a disciplined and professional approach to this long-awaited athletic reunion.

The fight will be contested in the featherweight division with both athletes weighing in at a limit of 145 pounds. Unlike traditional UFC bouts held in an octagon, this match will take place inside a specialized hexagon cage. The professional sanctioning ensures the event adheres to the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts.

The match is scheduled for five rounds, with each round lasting five minutes to allow for maximum strategic engagement. Both fighters will utilize standard four-ounce gloves, maintaining the traditional feel of a professional contest.

This clash is more than just a match; it is a celebration of the figures who defined an era.

Ronda Rousey returns to professional competition for the first time since 2016, carrying a legendary resume as a former champion and Olympic medalist. Known as the Baddest Woman on the Planet, she was the first female fighter to be inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.

Her influence expanded far beyond the cage into best-selling books and major Hollywood action franchises. Gina Carano, often cited as the pioneer who legitimized women in mixed martial arts, makes her first appearance in the cage since 2009. Before her successful transition into acting in films like Deadpool and Haywire, she was the sport's first true crossover star.

Now, they aim to bring their disruptive energy to this new venture to redefine the streaming era of sports.
