Amanda Serrano Wants Gina Carano Next? MVP Could Have Another MMA Throwback Fight on Its Hands

Amanda Serrano Wants Gina Carano Next? MVP Could Have Another MMA Throwback Fight on Its Hands

Amanda Serrano may be retiring from boxing soon, but she is clearly not done thinking about MMA

That is what makes this interesting. Amanda Serrano is still focused on boxing, still active, still chasing a proper ending to that side of her career, but she also sounds like somebody who watched MVP MMA 1: Rousey vs. Carano and immediately started imagining herself in the cage again. Not for a full comeback. Not for some long second act. Just one more fight, if the name is right.

And the name she brought up was Gina Carano.

Why Carano makes sense for Serrano

From a business angle, it is obvious. Most Valuable Promotions already knows there is real audience interest in these legacy-driven crossover MMA events. Ronda Rousey beating Carano in their fight did not kill that idea. If anything, it may have opened the door to a different version of it.

Serrano is not some celebrity tourist either. That is the key difference. If she says she would take one MMA fight, fans are not hearing that as a joke. They are hearing it as a real combat athlete saying she still has another weapon she would like to show. Carano, meanwhile, still has name value even after the loss to Rousey, because she remains one of the few women in MMA history whose legacy can sell a fight on sight.

The timing is what makes the whole thing more than random talk

Serrano is saying all this while still actively fighting under the MVP umbrella, and that matters. She is on the same promotion schedule that also has Holly Holm back in a major bout. That creates a weird but useful overlap: MVP is now operating in a world where boxing names, MMA names, and crossover nostalgia all sit under the same roof. Once that happens, fantasy matchmaking stops being fantasy quite so quickly.

Carano is the cleanest option because the story already exists. She just came back. She just lost to Rousey. People still know who she is. Serrano calling her out does not need much setup.

This is exactly the sort of thing MVP will at least think about

Maybe it never happens. Maybe Serrano closes the boxing chapter and leaves the MMA idea alone. But if Most Valuable Promotions sees another chance to turn one of its stars into a crossover headline, it will absolutely look at it. And if Serrano really wants one last MMA appearance, Gina Carano is about as logical a name as she could have picked.
