Gina Carano, a pioneer in women's mixed martial arts and known for her role in 'The Mandalorian,' has been the subject of speculation regarding a potential return to fighting. As of May 2026, no official announcement has been made, but fan interest remains high, particularly for a matchup against Cris Cyborg.
Carano, who last fought in 2009, has been inactive from MMA for over 16 years. Cyborg, a former UFC and Bellator champion, continues to compete. The potential fight would be a significant event, but no contracts or dates have been confirmed.
Carano's acting career has also faced challenges due to controversial social media posts, leading to her departure from 'The Mandalorian' in 2021. Her return to MMA would mark a major comeback, but details remain unverified.
