Lot of hate for Cyborg, but to me she is the clear winner, even though I want Carano to win (who doesn't?). After the Silva-Griffin fight, I have learned to have no shred of hope for the clear underdog in order to avoid disappointment.

I will miss that face :(
 
I watched her on Elite XC last night on showtime and wow.... Gina can pound these rounds. I'm impressed with her styles and fights.

After watching these two training videos i feel like that Gina's a bit like "Rocky". She better not frak it up against Cyborg.


My vote: Gina.






Is she the same girl from "American Gladiator" past two summers ago or that's a different girl?

same girl
 
Just to throw it out there I get annoyed with all the beauty fixation on Carano but guys are guys so it is what it is. It happens in any female sport.

I have no real favorite in the fight. Whoever wins wins and I'll be fine with it. Carano looking good gives me no extra incentive to root for her to win.
 
She's gorgeous but she is not photogenic. And the best pictures of her aren't posed at all. Lots of candids of her are great, but nearly all her posed/pro photo sets aren't flattering.

In motion, however, she never fails. Mmm.

Most of the posed stuff is photoshopped to hell.

Holy mother of God. Yep she definitely ain't photogenic at all.
That's a candid shot, she's amazing there. Better than the posed shots of those WWII-style pics.
God, she looks better than the ringside girl behind her. Girl always has a smile on her face, love that (except when she's getting beat on or doing the beating).

Cyborg looks killer there.

Carano is hit or miss for me, sometimes she looks amazingly hot and other times she looks like Frank Shamrock in drag. Cyborg on the other hand... is all man baby.

hmm, maybe that's why Frank wants to fuck her brains out.

Oh god I hope Cylon doesn't get in too many face shots. :(
 
Is this the first time that Carano isn't fighting a total chump? I saw some of her previous fights on showtime and her opponents all looked like total wimps compared to her.

Well the competition in female MMA isn't exactly incredible.

It's not that she's fought total chumps. What is arguably the case though is that she has fought smaller fighters who had to fight above their weight classes or at catch weights. There is no doubt she has been the over-powering fighter in that sense because of that. This obviously won't be the case in this match. To be fair though you could say the same about Cyborg.
