Gina Carano has admitted she would have faced serious harm if she hadn\u2019t tapped out of her comeback fight against Ronda Rousey<\/a> on Saturday night.<\/p>\n The 44-year-old hadn\u2019t fought since 2009 when she faced Rousey in the contest, which was part of a high-profile MMA card on Netflix. The fight was a complete mismatch<\/a> and lasted just 17 seconds, with Carano tapping out after Rousey, who was making her own comeback after nearly a decade away from competition, put her opponent in an armbar.<\/p>\n \u201cI wanted to throw, battle, win, but I kicked when I should have moved and was down and done,\u201d Carano wrote in an Instagram post on Monday<\/a>. \u201cIf I hadn\u2019t tapped she would\u2019ve broken my arm, as it had begun to crackle. The disappointment of losing like that is very humbling.\u201d<\/p>\n Carano turned to acting after her fighting career initially ended in 2009. However, she was fired from The Mandalorian<\/a> after a series of controversial social media posts, which all but ended her mainstream acting career. In Monday\u2019s post she hinted she may return to fight again, despite her one-sided loss to Rousey.<\/p>\n \u201cNow I feel like this is just the beginning,\u201d Carano wrote. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to see where I can push my body to go next.\u201d<\/p>\n Rousey has repeatedly said Saturday\u2019s fight was the final bout of her career. Carano paid tribute to her opponent in Monday\u2019s post.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m so glad the world got to experience this version of [Rousey] I found a beautiful woman, wife, mother, daughter, sister and legend. I adore you lady,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
