The wait is over.
For the first time in the 11-year history of Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show, Gina Carano is set to be a guest on Monday. Carano was a pioneer for women’s mixed martial arts. She went 7-1 in her career, which spanned from 2006 to 2009.
But these days, Carano has hit it big in her acting career, including landing a feature role in The Mandalorian, the first live-action Star Wars series, available only on Disney+.
The Helwani Show also will feature former UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw, who will be making his first appearance since being suspended for two years by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency in March.
