MMA Female Cage Fighter?

Question

What are your thoughts of Gina Carano?

Answer 1

She hits hard, her ground game is improving dramaticaly, (see the Gogoplata she had on Young) and has the look and attitude to be very marketable.  She has come in overweight but so would I fighting well below my natural weight.  There are not to many girl who cna fight at 150-155 comfortably at the top level so Gina has to try and cut around 15 pounds and make 140.  THere are some other girls that will give her a hard time Megumi Fuji and Shayna Bazler are both very good as well as Tara LaRosa.

Answer 2

She's very skilled and very intelligent, unfortunately she's also inclined to fail her Weigh-ins. She frequently weighs in 3-5lbs over the weightlimit and the promoters get her opponents to agree to fight anyways. 3-5 lbs may not seem like a big deal, but it makes a huge difference in a pro MMA match. I wish she would take the sport more seriously and actually make weight for her matches. But she's definitely  an exciting fighter with a great all around game.

Answer 3

Wow.  I just watched her fight on you tube and I could not believe how badly she beat up Kaitlin Young.  I would hope that she can work on her discipline though to be able to cut weight as needed, because she has the power to bring more attention to the sport and be a good role model.

Answer 4

i think that shes a good fighter with a lot of good technique and very technical strkes on her feet, she also has pretty good Jiu Jitsu, which was obvious when she went for a go go plata which isnt used a lot, ive only seen Nick Diaz use it in actual competition, i think that shes a good role model for young women and girls and she should open up a lot of doors for Womens MMA. (not bad lookin either)

Answer 5

Id throw a shot or two into that.

Answer 6

Shes a good fighter

Answer 7

Shes hot

Answer 8

1. Make weight. While I disagree with the guy who said its a huge deal (advantage) in MMA over 3-5 lbs, it shows a lack of discipline. Making weight is not hard, and its a rule. If you dont make weight you shouldnt fight, its that simple.

2. She fights well, I suppose. I say suppose, because there isnt much of a barometer for a womans MMA market. We havent seen a deep pool of tallent to fight against so there is no real way to tell if she is a good figher or an okay fighter against bad tallent.

3. She is an attractive woman. I think she has the tallent to match that, and she also has the business savy. At the moment she will be featured in a video game, and also has other show biz to attend to. As a true blue MMA efficianado, I would be upset if she was using MMA only to get into Hollywood.

Answer 9

She is my new hero! The girl has it all. She is pretty, well spoken, and a kick *** fighter.

Answer 10

She is an attractive and solid MMA fighter.  She is a very good Thai kickboxer and is know in MMA because that is were the money is.  She is so popular because of her looks and the American Gladiator fame.  She is probably not he best female fighter at the moment( largely because she could not train properly because of her Gladiator commitment.) But give her 6 months to train she has a shot a beating anyone.  She has real skill.  Not at all like Kimbo.
