In the aftermath of Ronda Rousey's swift victory over Gina Carano at MVP MMA 1, allegations of fight rigging have emerged. UFC fighter Aiemann Zahabi defended Carano, attributing her underwhelming performance to her drastic weight loss journey. Carano, who started at nearly 250 pounds due to pre-diabetic conditions, underwent a rigorous 18-month transformation, ultimately weighing in at 141.4 pounds. Zahabi emphasized that losing 100 pounds likely distracted Carano from honing her fighting skills, stating, "It’s very hard to improve fight skills while focusing on losing that much weight." Rousey, on the other hand, had 18 months to prepare and refine her techniques, which contributed to her dominant performance. The fight concluded in just 17 seconds when Rousey executed an armbar submission. Despite the defeat, Carano earned a substantial purse of $1.05 million, while Rousey took home $2.2 million. The event also showcased other fighters, including Francis Ngannou and Mike Perry, who secured impressive victories.
