Short of her fighting a man Carano seems to make the most since. Cyborg isn't big enough outside of MMA for this level of hype.

That reports such bullshyt, no way Carano steps away from her acting career not to mention the fact that she could barely make 145lbs while she was still in active fighting shape.

Should have to step away for 4-5 months. If she doesn't already have something in the works and Dana is going to CTC.....................................

The weight issue is a different argument.

has her movie career skyrocketed or something? after a promising start she seems to have come back to earth now shes doing low budget b movieswith tv stars.There is no reason she shouldnt return now she'll be facing womaen and only women.Its just she was never about that life in the first place.First major hurdle she faced it was thats not a competitor thats a poser

Carano has the looks and the sell is two MMA and Movie stars in the octagon.

mma fans are gullible as hell and zuffa are money hungry but for a retiree who went out on a brutal loss to reemerge after 5 years and be slotted into a title fight is a bit of a mockery of the very fabric of mma.Looks or not its a farce and I am hard pressed to believe gina is in for the long hall.As u know in mma anything can happen say she wins she aint about to become a ufc fighter.Which is why this aint about carano

This is the same organization that trotted out James Toney vs. Coture

Dana isn't above calling it a super fight................................................................Carano doesn't have to stay

apple and oranges randy is/wasnt the face of the ufc like ronda is nor was he a champ..That was a win win situation for dana either outcome would've been fine with him but either way the whole circus was aimed to humiliate couture.This is a whole different scenario

Dana isn't above calling it a super fight................................................................Carano doesn't have to stay

its sad that this would be considered a super fight.Its like mma fans have no concept of time.. :

Making a mockery of mma is almost impossible nowadays, Dana is great at doing it without help. U know that.

Randy got flatlined by chuck twice "retires" and re emerges at HW to an immediate title shot so the precident was already set. If there's truth to this then Ronda gets to pad her record with a big name who likely hasn't been training in any real capacity and has no real desire to fight unless it's paycheck or "I fought in the ufc" which are awful reasons because it can lead to getting seriously hurt out there. Pure cash grab status

not quite the HW division was spearheaded by the anti-charismaticslug in sylvia and in desperate need of a draw (and contender for that matter).The womans bantamweight division is spearheaded by the face of the ufc and has contenders in wait


ps and there is 1 thing u amd @The ADD need to factor before u entertain this, can gina even make 135

Precident is still set tho regardless of the circumstances behind it. If the ufc needs to use you they'll happily ignore the "deserved/logic" part of things.


And I'm well aware of Gina's weight issues. She had all kinds of hell at 145. .. I'd assume mike dolce will pop up like usual and state how easily he can get her safely to135 blah blah blah if this rumor has legs.

Looks like Tyson Griffin and Jon Jones are having a random ass argument on twitter

Slow day in mma I guess







Griffin started it more or less by calling jones out about saying Cormier has more work to do before a title shot.
