“I think she had some opportunities to win. It was an amazing five minutes. They made a lot of transitions, a lot of positions, and I think Gina caught Cyborg with some shots that got her attention, and obviously Gina got overwhelmed on a couple of occasions, but I think overall, she did some great things. This is a new experience for her, and it’s an important one, and I expect she’s going to come out the other side a stronger and better athlete for what she’s going through right now.”
UFC Hall of Famer Randy “The Natural” Couture sounds off on the performance of Gina Carano following her loss to Cristiane Santos at the August 15 Strikeforce event from San Jose. “Conviction” enlisted the services of the former UFC heavyweight and light heavyweight champion for her championship bout against “Cyborg” but despite a valiant effort and an exciting five minutes of action, was rescued from the Brazilian’s onslaught with just one second remaining in the opening round. She may not have gotten the title, but did she finally get the respect she was looking for as a fighter — and not just a pretty face?
