One of the most anticipated events of the year is here. Ronda Rousey, after a decade away from mixed martial arts, makes her return on Saturday night in Los Angeles when she takes on another legend of the sport off a long time away from the sport in Gina Carano. The two headline Netlfix’s first MMA event, set to take place inside the Intuit Dome.

Rousey rose to prominence with Strikeforce where she quickly climbed the ranks to become women’s bantamweight champion. She impressed UFC president Dana White enough for him to back off his stance of never having women fight for the promotion when she made her debut in 2013 as the inaugural champion. She defended the title six times before a stunning knockout loss to Holly Holm in 2015 and followed that up with another knockout loss to Amanda Nunes in 2016, which led to her departure from the sport.

Carano is widely considered the pioneer of women’s MMA. The Strikeforce and Elite XC alum brought new eyes to women’s MMA. She rode that popularity to an inaugural Strikeforce women’s featherweight title fight. Carano faltered to Cyborg, one of the most dominant fighters of any gender, before retiring.

Rousey and Carano haven’t fought in 10 and 17 years, respectively. They return in a long-lost dream match in Los Angeles.
