Gina Carano Goes Down -- Takes $500 with Her

A note to former "American Gladiators" star Titan for the next time he decides to bet on a women's MMA fight -- never bet against a girl whose nickname is "Cyborg."



Cris "Cyborg" Santos took care of business last night, scoring a first round TKO over hottie Gina Carano. Titan had told us he was laying a $500 wager on Carano -- his former "Gladiators" co-star.

Cyborg beat Carano like she stole her man. It wasn't even close. People may moan about the ref stopping the fight at the bell but the fight was over well before the round ended. Cyborg was pounding Carano into the ground. Brawn beats the snot out of beauty every time.

The was a BS ending but Cyborg would have won in the coming rounds anyway. It just could have been a better TKO than that.

Dayum, "Cyborg" should change her name to "Pitbull", once she grabs hold she doesn't let go. She kicked butt.

Carrano, did not condition correctly for this fight. She looked tired a minute into the fight. And she had trouble making weight again, She is all hype!!!
I bet she goes running back to Hef now to see if she can still be in playboy.

Check out the story on foxsports, they had people at the hotel who saw her the sauna on Thursday night in a hoodie and jogging pants and then asked that they have the sauna temp. closed so they could get a stationary bike in there.
This would explain why she looked so tired only a minute into the fight.

few things,

Carano is not like Kimbo. Gina actually has some good technique if you've seen her fight before. Kimbo had no technique.

I didnt hear that about her having to go in the sauna and all that just to make weight but that would not surprise me. Fighters go to extremes to cut the last minute weight. If thats true and she did have a tough weight cut than that prob played into her cardio. Just look at how worn De La Hoya looked coming into the fight against Pacquiao. He had trouble cutting weight for that fight and was gassed from the weight cut.

As far as her cardio, she may have trained hard in her cardio for all we know. Randy Couture, who trains her, is known for his cardio. But this was the biggest fight of her life. Main event on a male card, hyped up PPV against her toughest opponent. It did not surprise me that she got tired so fast.

When athletes play or fight in a big game or match, they sometimes can be too hyped or nervous or excited and that causes them to gas quickly usually because they come out guns blazing instead of pacing themselves.

It was at least action packed which is good but other than these 2 the women's division is not strong enough to get lasting attention. Had Gina won, that would have helped. But people dont care about Cyborg because she is jacked and not good looking. Guys liked watching Gina because she was a hot chick that kicked ass.

oh, and Cyborg is from Brazil so for the person that said Americans are turning into white trash, women fight and train to fight in many different countries.
