Fighting Mentality
In a recent appearance on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show, Carano shared, “I would always see these big fights never happen, and I just knew that wasn’t gonna happen with me. I was gonna fight Cyborg, whether I was ready or not. And so, I did.”
Despite acknowledging she wasn’t fully prepared for the bout, Carano recognized that turning down the opportunity meant potentially missing out on such a significant fight. Her commitment to not letting her fans down played a pivotal role in her decision.
