Gina Carano gets tore up…But not in a good way…Downgraded from a 9 to a 7…

If you were lucky enough to watch the Strikeforce show this weekend, you either shell out the extra cash a month to your cable or satellite provider to get Showtime or you were able to find a bar that actually was showing the fights. And if you fall in to either one of those two categories I fucking hate you.

I, unfortunately, was not able to see the fights, which sucked because I was looking forward to the Carano/Cyborg fight. The fight that pitted beauty versus raw, unadulterated man power. However, Cage Potato was kind enough to post the video here, which just so happens to still be up. Strikeforce’s legal department is obviously nowhere near as diligent as UFC’s legal team who would have had the video removed already. But I digress. The video is perfect for those of us who enjoying watching women beat each other up, but are too cheap to pay for Showtime monthly.

Sadly, fan favorite, underdog and the current hottie of women’s MMA, Gina Carano was unsuccessful in her quest to claim the Strikeforce women’s belt in her match up with the stronger, more intimidating Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos. Who may in fact be 1/3 T-1000, or at the least is carrying around a Y chromosome.

The match was scheduled for 5, 5 minute rounds, but the mechanical one only needed 4:59 seconds to dispatch of the fighter who has a rear naked choke on the heart (and erections) of MMA fans everywhere.

Overall Cyborg dominated the fight. Landing some big shots. The only real high point for Carano was that she was able to mount Cyborg after a failed takedown attempt on two separate occasions. Of course sensing danger, like most cybernetic creations do, Cyborg was able to kick Carano off, and in the second mount Carano for whatever reason just got off of Cyborg. Which neither satisfied my quench for blood nor my sexual fantasies of Carano mounting another woman.

In the end Cyborg’s skill and ability to punch harder than most men I know, was the deciding factor. Just when you thought Carano would make it into the second round Cyborg began pounding her…And not in the good way. As the remaining few seconds ticked away Carano turtled up in to the fetal position. Something that has almost become synonymous with all of my sexual encounters. The only difference being that they don’t usually turtle up in to the fetal position and cry until afterwards. Regardless, the ref sensed that Carano wasn’t defending herself in an intelligent fashion, and ended the fight, rightfully so.

With the loss Carano drops to 7-1. Her next move will be back to the gym to train, and improve her game. I’m not sure who her next opponent will be, but I’m hoping for Strikeforce to pick up former Playmate and Muay Thai enthusiast LaTasha Marzolla.

That match would be all sorts of sexiness. And if it’s not an interesting fight, there will at least be some awesome eye candy.

Cyborg moves to 8-1. What could possibly be next for her? I haven’t the slightest clue. I don’t see anyone in Strikeforce giving her too much trouble. She’s strong, fast, and is equally capable of knocking her opponents out or making them tap out. Sure there will be a rematch with Carano on the horizon, but I think her best bet is to start fighting dudes.

    Gina is still # 1 in my heart and #1 in my pants

  3. What a coincidence, because she would be in fact the only woman in your pants…
