Jake Paul asked his followers to choose between Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano as the winners in their possible fight, starting a major debate online. The social media post, which simply asked “Who you got? Rousey vs Carano,” has generated hundreds of responses showing that the fanbase remains divided, with many fans expressing doubts about her opinions.

The proposed fight would create history because it will feature two women who established the sport of mixed martial arts for female fighters. Rousey, 37, is a former UFC bantamweight champion and Olympic judoka who has not participated in MMA bouts since 2016. Carano, 42, is considered the sport’s first major female star, but has not competed in professional bouts since 2009.
Fans responded to the situation with immediate and intense enthusiasm. Fans showed their excitement because they could finally see the matchup of their dreams come true. “This is going to be epic,” one supporter wrote. Another fan said: “I feel happy to see Carano wearing tank tops again.”
The event raised questions about its legitimacy from more than half of the people who attended. The fight that Jake Paul promoted through his organization received comments from people who doubted its authenticity. “Another fight put on by Netflix,” one user stated bluntly. “I won’t watch this fight because I think all the fights on Netflix are fake fights.”
People examined how long athletes had gone without competing. “They’re both old, out of their prime and haven’t fought in years,” one fan argued. “It’s more about the names than the quality of the fight.” Another person stated: “This fight exists only for promotional reasons. People don’t show any interest in it.”

Fans engaged in passionate debates about the possible outcomes of the fight despite their suspicions. The discussion was divided into clear sides. Rousey’s supporters used her high-level wrestling skills and recent WWE experience to support their argument. Jake Paul has been promoting his own boxing match on Netflix and recently donned a Santa suit to partner up. He also declared himself a Super Bowl champion after a bet, and once compared a high school wrestling victory to Anthony Joshua’s Olympic gold.
