LOS ANGELES (AP) — The idea of returning to any professional sport after a break of nearly 17 years seems preposterous. Doing it in a sport as dangerous as mixed martial arts? Gina Carano realizes it seems like something that could — maybe should — only happen in the movies.

May 20 (Reuters) - Netflix’s debut live Mixed Martial Arts broadcast, featuring Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano's comeback, had a peak viewership of nearly 17 million, the streaming company reported on Tuesday.

The first live MMA event broadcast on Netflix — featuring a double-comeback bout between Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano — attracted the most U.S. viewers in the sport's history

Gina Carano recently took on fellow pioneer of women's Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), Ronda Rousey in the 145 lbs (Featherweight) category. The duo had officially come out of their retirement to lock horns with each other in the highly anticipated bout.

Gina Carano's net worth is around $4 million, as per sources. She has had a scintillating career in mixed martial arts as well as an acting career in Hollywood.
