Henry Cavill Girlfriend Gina Carano Still Unsigned W/ UFC; Negotiations Are ‘Going Very Positive, But It’s Complicated’ Says Pres. Dana White

Henry Cavill’s girlfriend Gina Carano, an MMA fighter and fitness model, is still unsigned with the UFC. Yahoo! Sports note that it seems getting Carano back on the cage is proving more difficult than UFC Pres. Dana White thought.

The sports site reports that the UFC boss said that talks are going very well, but the delay is because of some unidentified complications. “It’s going very positive, but it’s complicated,” White said, as reported by Yahoo! Sports.

Though the sports leader did not mention any further issues particularly on what’s complicating the negotiations, it could probably be that Carano’s Hollywood career and the movie “Conviction” maybe causing the problem. The MMA fighter has not been on the cage since 2009, concentrating on her growing film career instead.

It’s a huge possibility that shooting schedules and contracts, with its accompanying constraints and demands, from film studios and agencies will complicate Carano’s desire to get back into fighting. Though she failed to win the last time she fought, losing against “Cyborg” Justino, it is anticipated that she would fight UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, if she decides to move forward with the UFC.

Rousey has expressed her eagerness to fight Carano, saying that she would go back up in weight to 145 to fight the MMA star.

Rousey, the first and current UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion, is undefeated. She has won eight of her ten fights by armbar. She was also the first American woman to earn an Olympic medal in Judo at the Summer Olympics in Beijing in 2008, her Wikipedia page shows.

Before she left the cage, Carano was ranked the third best 145 lb fighter in the world, according to the Unified Women’s MMA Rankings. She has fought in Hook N’Shoot, Elite XC and Strikeforce.
