Gina Carano details shocking weight loss before Ronda Rousey fight

The most startling stat about the fight betweenRonda Rousey and Gina Caranomight have surfaced the day before bout takes place, Saturday, May 16 at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California.

USA TODAY

It was a day earlier, on Friday, after the official weigh-in whenCarano took to Instagram.

“Ok. Vulnerable post but here we are," she wrote. “I just weighed in at 141.4 lbs. Since Sept 2024 to today, May 15, 2026, I have lost 100lbs. It hurts to say that and share but I am going to share it because I worked so damn hard every week for over a year and a half to shed this weight. It did not happen overnight."

If the weight loss happened steadily, that’s five pounds a month for approximately 20 months.

At her old weight of 240 pounds, the 5-foot-8 Carano would have weighed only 17 pounds less than the 6-foot-4Francis Ngannoudid at the weigh-in Friday for his heavyweight bout against Philipe Lins.

Both Rousey and Carano were required to weigh no more than 145 pounds for their fight, the main event on the 11-fight card. Carano did that with ease and do did Rousey, who came in at 142 pounds.

“If it wasn’t for having this incredibly challenging goal in fighting@rondarouseyI most definitely wouldn’t have reached this," Carano wrote. “I was pre-diabetic, had trouble simply walking in September and have been on the path to recovery to turn myself back into an athlete since then."

Another big prediction for Titans QB Cam Ward in 2026

Wednesday turned out to be another banner day forTennessee Titansquarterback Cam Ward. Not only did the league and Netflix announce that his journey to the NFL was documented for the show "Quarterback," which debuts on July 14, but he also made another list of potential breakout players.

USA TODAY

The latest to buy into Ward and a potential jump in 2026 is Bradley Locker of Pro Football Focus (PFF) who has Ward asthe quarterback on his All-Breakout team.

Quarterback: Cameron Ward,Tennessee Titans

The 2025 quarterback class wasn’t as star-studded as the one prior, but it’s already produced three starters with upside going into 2026. Picking any of Ward, Tyler Shough or Jaxson Dart to excel in Year 2 would be valid, but Ward feels like the most logical selection.

Ward’s rookie campaign didn’t go quite as expected, finishing with a 56.4 PFF passing grade and more turnover-worthy plays (23) than big-time throws (21). Yet Ward showed real flashes, including compiling three games with at least a 78.7 overall PFF grade in Week 12 or later. Plus, Ward’s receiving corps earned just the 27th-best PFF receiving grade.

The circumstances are now significantly better for the former No. 1 overall pick going into his second season. Ward has two major assets at receiver in No. 4 selection Carnell Tate as well as former Giant Wan’Dale Robinson, who can help attack every area of the field. Add in new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, and the pieces should be there for Ward’s sky-high talent to consistently materialize.

Ward and the entire Titans’ offense should be in a much better place heading into 2026 with an actual playcalling offensive coordinator running the show. Ward didn’t start to flash until the second half of 2025 after Brian Callahan, and his lack of feel for playcalling, was fired.

Now, with Daboll calling the plays, and what appears to be an improved receiving corps, Ward should be able to take a giant step forward this season.

Mark Consuelos Shares the Painful Realization He's Had Since His Father's Death (Exclusive)

Mark Consuelos reflects on his father’s death, describing him as a “mythical character” and a major influence

NEED TO KNOW

  • The actor appeared on the I've Never Said This Before with Tommy DiDario podcast, in a clip PEOPLE can exclusively premiere

  • Working on Broadway helped him process his grief, Consuelos says, but the loss hit harder during a family memorial

Mark Consuelosis opening up about the loss of his father.

In an exclusive clip from the Tuesday, May 12 episode of iHeartRadio'sI've Never Said This Before with Tommy DiDariopodcast, theLive with Kelly and Markco-host became emotional while reflecting on the death of his father,Saul Consuelos, whodied in March 23 after a lengthy illness.

“You know, I lost my father five weeks ago,” Consuelos tells host Tommy DiDario, in a conversation taped on May 1. “And it was kind of a brutal five-month saga leading up to him passing. I knew it was happening. We all knew, this is going to happen.”

The actor, who is currently starring in the Roundabout Theatre Company's revival ofFallen Angelson Broadway, says he prayed for “a merciful exit” for his father and was grateful that “it happened that way — very quickly and painlessly.”

Still, even though he tried to emotionally prepare himself for "the eventuality" of the loss ahead of time, when his father died, the reality hit hard.

“My father’s a mythical character to me,” Consuelos explains. “He’s, like, the best man I’ve ever met. Everything good that I’ve kind of globbed onto of how I carry myself comes from him.”

“I guess what I haven’t said is, I miss my dad,” he continues. “I’ve never said that. I’ve never said, ‘I miss my dad.’ Because he’s always been in my life. He’s always been available to me.”

The 55-year-old says he was in tech rehearsals forFallen Angelswhen his father died, forcing him to “compartmentalize” his grief while continuing to work on the production. “It was a welcomed distraction because I had to do this,” he says.

But when his family gathered for a memorial service, the loss became more real. “We just had a memorial for him this past Monday, where the family all got together,” he says. “And the reality of him being gone hit, of himactuallybeing gone.”

Though he says he still feels his father’s presence strongly, the actor became emotional while describing what he misses most.

“I am starting to…,” Consuelos says before taking a deep breath. “I’m going to miss just giving him a hug and holding his hand and just laughing with him. That’s something I’ve never said in my life. I’m going to miss my dad.”

DiDario went on to thank Consuelos for sharing the moment, pointing out how helpful his words would be to "anyone going through their grief right now.”

"He’s certainly proud of you," DiDario says. "Look at everything you’re doing. Broadway star!"

That inspired Consuelos to share how he honors his father before walking onstage each night. “I do look up in the house every now and again,” he says. “You can’t really see, because of the lights. And I kind of picture [him]. I think about him before I go on stage.”

Consuelos announced his father’s death on the April 22 episode ofLive with Kelly and Mark.“My father passed away peacefully surrounded by family and love,” he said at the time, adding that his father “lived a beautiful life.”

"He came here from Mexico in his early teens, he immigrated here from Mexico. He served his country for 30 years. Ended up at Special Operations Command in Tampa. This young kid from Mexico just got his education from the Navy. Was always going to school. Was brilliant. Got his master's while I was a kid," he shared.

“He loved his country so much,” Consuelos added. “If you’re going to put a face to an immigrant, he would be the prime example of what this country promises people.”

NEED TO KNOW

  • Leila and Gricourt first met seven years ago, after Leila moved to Paris to study at the American University of Paris 

  • Leila, 27, and Gricourt announced their engagement in March 2025

Leila Roker, the daughter ofAl RokerandDeborah Roberts, has married Sylvain Gricourt.

TheTodayshow meteorologist, 71, broke the news himself during the Tuesday, May 12, broadcast. While discussing thehantavirus outbreak aboard the MV Hondius, Roker mentioned that he had recently returned from Europe for his daughter's wedding.

"I was coming from Europe this weekend from my daughter's wedding, and the CDC was asking people to voluntarily test," Roker said. "But they didn't say for what, so I just wonder if it was a precaution here."

Roker also mentioned that Leila and Gricourt would be tying the knot on Mother's Day weekend during a May 1 interview withSwooon.

"Our daughter, Leila, is getting married, just before Mother’s Day. That Mother’s Day weekend, actually," Roker told the outlet. “So, that’s kind of her Mother’s Day gift, I guess."

Leila, 27, and Gricourtannounced their engagement in March2025. The two met seven years prior, a year after Leila moved to Paris to study at the American University of Paris, she said in an Instagram post at the time.

“8 years ago, I moved to Paris 🇫🇷, 7 years ago I met my person and best friend 💖, and 2 days ago, that person took me on the most amazing surprise trip to Venice 🇮🇹 to ask me to spend the rest of our lives together 💍 💕💕,” Leilawrotealongside a collection of photos from the Venice restaurant where Gricourt proposed.

Al also celebrated the engagement news last March by sharing more photos from Gricourt’s proposal. “We could not be happier, and look forward to planning for these two wonderful young folks coming together,” theTodayshow meteorologistwrote.

During a stop onLive with Kelly and Markin October, Roberts, 65, said Leila and Gricourt planned to have a small wedding in Paris before hosting a bigger ceremony in the U.S., where “we’ll blow the budget.”

“We have to do a small ceremony in France because she lives in Paris,” Roberts explained. “And so they have to do something small there, and I said, 'Let's keep it teeny tiny'— and then she wants to come home.”

Lane Kiffin didn’t stumble into controversy. He leaned into it | Opinion

This isn’t that difficult to decipher. And certainly not a complex, misunderstood personality flaw.

USA TODAY

Lane Kiffinis a chameleon. And I say that with all love, and in the purest sense of the word.

Headapts to his environment.

He changes colors — or in this case, personalities — to fit his surroundings. There are times when it works, and times when you get sheer stupidity.

EXCLUSIVE:Steve Sarkisian goes scorched-earth on college football’s Wild West culture

LANE KIFFIN:Ole Miss fans hate him at 'way different level' than Vols did

Case in point:the Vanity Fair interview, and the bizarre, ugly extension of his bitterness towardOle Miss.

The Chameleon knew hoity-toity Vanity Fair magazine was interested in profiling one of the most unique characters in all of sports. Knew Vanity Fair is a popular culture magazine that typically writes profile pieces on fashion or politics or people you just can’t ignore.

Or in this case, Kiffin.

So he threw on his jeans and white t-shirt and sat for a photo shoot in Tiger Stadium, a forlorn look on his face, right arm crossed over left side. A man and his kingdom.

Don’t believe it? TheLSU football X accountposted a picture of the photo shoot, and trumpeted the future profile.

Then Chris Smith, one of the best writers of our generation, spent a couple days with Kiffin, and The Chameleon opened up. Maybe a bit too much, or maybe exactly what he wanted because, you know, it is Vanity Fair and it is seen by the high rollers in New York City and Paris and Milan and Hong Kong.

So The Chameleon fit in, and brought up — without Smith asking, according to hisinterview on the "Paul Finebaum Show" — segregation in the South, and how it impacted recruiting at Ole Miss.

Kiffin told Vanity Fair when he was coaching at Ole Miss, top recruits would tell him, “'We really like you, but my grandparents aren’t letting me move to Oxford, Mississippi.' That doesn’t come up when you say Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Parents were sitting here this weekend saying the campus’ diversity feels so great. ‘It feels like there’s no segregation, And we want that for our kid because that’s the real world.’”

Again, Smith didn’t ask Kiffin specifically, Kiffin offered it up.

“I wish it was some genius question I had asked him,” Smith told Finebaum. “But he volunteered the idea about grandparents not letting their kid go to Oxford, Miss.”

OPINION:New CFP expansion plan would kill what college football does best

The Chameleon, everyone, adapted to his environment and gave Vanity Fair what it wanted to hear.

Just like he did years ago as the coach at Tennessee, when he got into verbal spats with Urban Meyer and Steve Spurrier. One was the coach for Tennessee’s biggest rival (Florida), and one was the guy Vols fans hated more than just about anything (Spurrier). Kiffin then left after one season, with burned bridges and 14 NCAA secondary violations in his wake.

The Chameleon adapted at USC, too, when he became the hip coach who did the cool things (just like his mentor Pete Carroll), but couldn’t pull it off on the field because the program was saddled with 30 lost scholarships from NCAA violations earned by the previous staff.

A couple years later, The Chameleon adapted at Alabama as offensive coordinator, when he stood in the shadows as the good soldier and took constant ass-chewings from legendary Tide coach Nick Saban. And made jokes about it.

After a brief stop at FAU, The Chameleon arrived at Ole Miss, where he started out as a social media ball of fire to build interest in the program — “Come to the ‘Sip” —  but eventually settled into posting bible verses and motivation quotes. Had everyone believing he had grownboth personally and professionally,and had found his wheelhouse.

Then he decided to leave Ole Miss, and when Ole Miss wouldn’t allow him to coach a national championship-ready team in the College Football Playoff, he held onto that bitterness — and it followed him all the way to Baton Rouge.

Then Vanity Fair came calling, and don’t kid yourself, Kiffin knew exactly what he was doing. He gets hundreds of interview requests every month, the fantastic publicity department at LSU sifting through what works and what won’t — and then offering up advice.

Ultimately, it’s Kiffin’s decision. He bit on Vanity Fair like one of those gators in the swamps below I-10 — and saw it for what it was worth.

Be the pop culture star, and dig Ole Miss at the same time. He accomplished both, and then turned chameleon to complete this wicked game.

He issuedan apology, becoming who he should be, what he should do, once again.

The Chameleon always adapts.
