The fighters completed the official process on Friday morning, with a ceremonial weigh-in scheduled for 9 p.m. ET on the day of the event.
The contest marks Rousey’s return to the cage after nearly a decade away from competition. She will face Carano in the headline fight of the MVP MMA 1 card, which is set to take place on Saturday at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.
The event represents the first mixed martial arts promotion by Most Valuable Promotions in partnership with Netflix. The fight card will be broadcast on the streaming platform, marking a significant entry into the combat sports sector for the technology and entertainment company.
