Why this matters

Gina Carano was controversially fired from Disney+'s "The Mandalorian" in 2021 due to social media posts, leading to a significant public debate about "cancel culture." Her return to a major platform like Netflix for a high-profile MMA fight with Ronda Rousey marks a notable "un-cancellation" and a significant moment for her career. This event also signals Netflix's strategic expansion into live sports, particularly combat sports, diversifying its content offerings five years after Carano's dismissal from Disney.
