In an explosive return to MMA, Ronda Rousey dominated Gina Carano in just 17 seconds at the Netflix MVP event on May 16, 2026. And now, following her swift and decisive victory, Ronda Rousey addressed her $2 million payday during a post-fight interview and confirmed that she’s also being compensated as an event promoter. Additionally, the former WWE star revealed that she plans to go house hunting in Hawaii with her husband, suggesting the money won’t last long.
“I was compensated, not just for my fighting services. I also was promoting this event as well, so I think it’s literally on the contract that I’m not supposed to tell people. I’m very happy and very grateful and me and my husband are gonna go house shopping in Hawaii after this.” – Ronda Rousey
After a lightning-quick double-leg takedown and seamless transition to mount, Rousey locked in her signature armbar on Carano, forcing an almost immediate tap. The bout delivered a nostalgic clash between two pioneers but exposed a significant gap in timing and sharpness, with the 39-year-old Rousey looking like her vintage self. At the same time, the long-retired 44-year-old Carano offered little resistance and will almost certainly not fight again after such a disappointing performance.
