Ronda Rousey has dropped another training video, and it's making everyone wonder: Should Gina Carano be concerned?

Before even stepping into the cage with Gina Carano, Ronda Rousey is sending a message to her, and she is doing it the only way she knows how: with relentless pressure and a vice-like choke. 

She uploaded her brutal sparring session with her training partner Lex Jayne on Instagram, and more than training, it was a statement. Rousey was seen pounding and submitting her. The raw aggression and grappling dominance seen in the video are what made her one of the most feared women in combat sports.

As her bout with Carano nears, her preparation offers a reminder that when Rousey locks in, there is no 'taking it easy.'

Nevertheless, while the act seemed like a warning, Rousey managed to infuse humor in the intense session. Her caption read, "When you’ve listened to a song so many times during training, you can time your elbows to the beat."

Her fight with Gina Carano will be a five-round bout. It is set for May 16 and will premiere on Netflix. The fight will mark her return to combat after a decade. Her last fight was against Amanda Nunes at UFC 207 on 30 December 2016, which she lost by TKO. Her last win was against Bethe Correia at UFC 190 on August 1, 2015.

How is Ronda Rousey's preparation going so far?

The fight might be more than two months away, but Rousey is preparing for it as if it were tomorrow. Rousey has over time, shared other glimpses of her training sessions.

She shared her first training video, showcasing her high-intensity pad work alongside her Thug Thai coach, AJ Matthews. As she landed hard punches, her daughter could be seen playfully prancing around in the background, adding a lighthearted touch to the intense session.

The next video saw her training with Jacob Yancey and sharpening her grappling and submission techniques.
