MMA fans salivating at the idea of former Strikeforce title challenger, and current action star Gina Carano throwing leather with arm-collector and UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, shouldn't hold their breath in anticipation of the match-up. 

Contract talks between Carano and the UFC have stalled, according to MMAFighting's Ariel Helwani, although it doesn't necessarily mean the deal is completely dead.

Carano hasn't stepped into the cage since being mauled by Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino at a Strikeforce event in 2009, while Rousey is set to defend her title against Alexis Davis at UFC 175 in July.
