 http://mmamania.com/2009/08/04/mma-quic ... re-its-at/“When I first started in Showtime I was called the pet project: ‘Here, I’m going to help you out and put you on this show.’ In my head, I’m like, I train and work out like everyone else. They like to tell you what you’re not. They like to keep you down, so they can get more out of you for their money. But fans don’t lie. When they’re all chanting your name, you know they’re supporting you. So we went from being the pet project to now we’re headlining an event. So this is huge for me. I’ve been carrying this whole thing with women’s mixed martial arts for a couple years, and that’s a lot. It’d be a great thing to win and hold that belt. But that means that load stays right where it’s at.” – Female mixed martial arts mega-star and recent Strikeforce acquisition Gina Carano shares her evolution as a fighter with the New York Times heading into her championship bout against Chute Boxe-trained striker Cristiane Santos on August 15. “Conviction” has not competed since a three-round drubbing of Kelly Kobold in October 2008, winning via unanimous decision and pushing her perfect record to seven wins versus zero defeats. Can she handle the fury of Cyborg? Or will the Brazilian crumble against Carano’s Muay Thai? Predictions please…

First let me say it would be my honor to make Gina pregnant. With that said. . . . Cyborg will bounce her in the second or third round. I'd like Gina to win for the sport, to show there are more than just one talented female fighter, but I don't see Cyborg going down to a knee or elbow. And I don't see Gina finding a kink in Cyborg's armor. So my prediction is Gina will do much better than people think, will give that monster Terminator 2 flunky  Cyborg a run for her money, but too much power means a stray shot is gonna put Gina on her back (in the bad way).

I expect Santos to win in the 2nd or 3rd round. And hopefully, this historical fight will completely launch the Women's division in MMA, and give it the chance and recognition it deserves.

This whole Corano gimmick will be over soon, im very sure.
She never makes weight, and the only reasons shes as big as she is is because of her vanity
PERIOD

She's also undefeated, but I'm sure that's an inconvenient truth you'd prefer to overlook.

Gina's striking is gonna win. She'll get hit, then pissed off (as opposed to knocked out). And then Cyborg's gonna fall.
I predict fourth or fifth round TKO victory for Gina Carano or a decision. I just hope to God she doesn't gass or gets mounted or some shit like that.
I've been waiting for this fight since I was born. Gina's Muay Thai will win!

Thats if Gina can even make weight... No one could make weight with the tons of fun she carries on her chest. I wish she's knock Cyborg out with one of those chesticles. Daddy likey.
