It has been rumored over the past couple of weeks that the former face of women’s MMA, Gina Carano, would be making her long awaited return to the cage.

Ariel Helwani of MMAFighting.com reported, Carano will be meeting with UFC President Dana White next week to discuss her UFC future.

On Thursday’s episode of “The Arsenio Hall Show,” Carano said she loves fighting and is “kinda considering” a return.

“I love it,” Carano said. “It’s something I can do that makes everything else disappear. I dream about it. I just didn’t know if I was ever going to get placed with the opportunity to make a comeback. So I’m either going to do it now or retire and say, I’m never going to do it. So now is the moment.”

Carano hit the silver-screen in, “In The Blood” on Friday and has not stepped inside the cage since losing to Cris Cyborg in 2009 under the Strikeforce banner. The 31-year old is still under contract with Zuffa.
