"The blockbuster showdown between MMA legends will headline the first professional MMA event promoted by Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions and will be streamed live on Netflix. Rousey and Carano will face each other at 145 pounds, and the fight will be professionally sanctioned under the Unified Rules of MMA and contested over five, 5-minute rounds using 4-ounce gloves, inside a hexagon cage."
"Rousey (12-2) was the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in judo in 2008 and was the first female fighter signed to the UFC after a stint in defunct MMA promotion Strikeforce as its last women's bantamweight champion. She took the industry by storm, dominating the opposition upon her arrival in 2013 as the inaugural UFC women's bantamweight champion, and still holds the UFC record for successfully defending the title six consecutive times."
