Gina Carano and Ronda Rousey each made weight on Friday, clearing the way for their featherweight MMA battle on Saturday at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif.

Rousey weighed in at 142 pounds, while Carano checked in at 141.4.

Carano took to social media following the weigh-in to speak about that number, which represented a major milestone for her.

“I just weighed in at 141.4 lbs. Since Sept 2024 to today, May 15, 2026, I have lost 100lbs,” Carano revealed in an X.com post. “It hurts to say that and share but I am going to share it because I worked so damn hard every week for over a year and a half to shed this weight. It did not happen overnight.

She thanked Rousey, “who waited patiently while I lost this weight,” also crediting Rousey with giving her “something to aim for.”

A pair of titans on the MMA stage, neither Rousey nor Carano has fought since 2016, with Carano not taking to the ring since 2009. They will be a part of the MMA fight card of Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions live on Netflix, an event that collects several former UFC stars.

Rousey, 39, made most of her career waves (12-2) at a slightly lower weight (135-pound bantamweight), though Carano, 44, should feel more at home, as she compiled a 7-1 record fighting mostly at 140.
