Gina Carano, who returned to MMA after a 17-year break, said that she did not consider her quick defeat to Ronda Rousey a failure.
İdman.Biz reports that at the MVP tournament on May 17, Rousey submitted Carano in 17 seconds.
"I wanted it to last longer. I felt very ready. I've never felt so good, but I've been away for 17 years. I wanted to hit her. I'll probably be unhappy later, but stepping into the cage now was a victory.
Coming back here after 17 years is a victory. Fighting a legend is a victory. I feel great. She trained, she had a plan and I have a lot of love and respect for her. It was a victory in my life. She changed her plan. I woke up every day at 3 a.m. thinking about her.
I lost 100 pounds - that will give me a longer life. I fell in love with mixed martial arts again. There are so many good things to think about. The fight just didn't go the way I wanted it to," MMA Junkie quotes Carano as saying.
