I am not good as a commentator of mma! Way too excited for anything to happen, it’s fake, and oh yea don’t know what I’m talking about!!! Going for a guillotine when she was clearly on her back going for a rear naked choke! Come on somebody stop me please!!!
August 15th, 2009 at 9:57 pmIM SOO GLAD GINA GOT BEAT DOWN! she makes the sport look bad , she came to weigh ins in a tank top and a mini skirt can she atleast take the sport seriously a little? cyborg tore her up ad exposed how weak she really was
August 15th, 2009 at 10:21 pmWtf are you complaining about Gus? If someone were to stop you they’d have to know what you’re talking about and from your broken fragmented english you’rre probably not going to be stopped anytime soon, What’s fake?
Anyway, I’m dissapointed. She circled towards Cyborgs right the whole time and her cardio was crap. Wtf were they training her to do the entire time? She had Cyborg on her back twice and didn’t even attempt a sub and let Cyborg back up once when she was doing well on her feet beforehand.. She needs a new camp. One that knows how to build cardio. Their plan they said was to taker Cyborg to the later rounds where she usually gets tired but how’d they expect to do that when Gina’s cardio was way weaker than Cyborgs? Sad fight. And her front kicks looked as weak as they did in her previous fights which I knew wasn’t going to work against Cyborg. She’s a fucking brute. I hope she gets a new camp and shows up to the next fight.
August 15th, 2009 at 10:49 pmgina got man handled and these commentators are dumb as shit
August 15th, 2009 at 11:03 pmcyborg put gina in her place. she deserved to lose the fight. she belongs outside the cage, not in it
August 15th, 2009 at 11:15 pmGina needs much more to fight with someone at Cyborg level… as Robert said, her cardio was a mess, as her (lack of) technic. Shame…
August 15th, 2009 at 11:38 pmGina should have won! She had the full mount but got up, BIG BIG mistake. Have a little more faith in your ability.!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No biggie she’ll be back
August 15th, 2009 at 11:55 pmIt’s just a matter of time before Strikefarce goes the way of Affliction.
August 16th, 2009 at 12:51 amGina had a chance when she had the full mount, dont know why she gave it up. Should of stayed on cyborg to tire her down
August 16th, 2009 at 1:17 amThe reason she got off mount is because she didn’t want to get caught in another heel hook, infact I wonder if she was injured at all from that heel hook, because it was pretty deep. I was pretty sure Cyborg would win, and I was amazed to see most of the so called “professionals” picking Gina to win. Gina is a good fighter, and I can’t take anything away from her, but she would have been better off being a ring girl that night lol.
August 16th, 2009 at 2:06 amDamn she had the full mount!!!
August 16th, 2009 at 7:08 ami wanna put it in gina still, in the backdoor
if you kno what im sayin’…
August 16th, 2009 at 8:23 amGina needs to be a ring girl???? What? She wasn’t THAT bad! I thought she was doing good at first, but Cyborg is just stronger and was a lot more aggressive. I do think she might have gotten caught up in the hype of the fight though. And about her coming to the weigh-ins dressed LIKE A GIRL, thats because she IS a girl. Do you want her to be all macho all the time??? No.
She will come back, but she needs a lot more to beat Cyborg.
August 16th, 2009 at 8:27 amLETS GO CRIS CYBORG….. REPRESENT BRAZIL…… LETS GO!!!!!! WHOS GINA CARANO??????? CRIS CYBORG IS BEST FIGHTER IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!
August 16th, 2009 at 10:33 amCyborg is a monster, no doubt. Gina clearly hasn’t fought anyone this tough before. Gina didn’t do her homework because if she did, she would’ve gained some ground skills. I would have more respect for Gina if she would’ve stood her ground and fought the fight instead of trying to protect her pretty face. you’re a fighter, fight damnit!
August 16th, 2009 at 11:16 amtoo bad gina lost.
August 16th, 2009 at 11:24 am4:59 sec soooo close. I was pulling for gina, but cyborg is a monster. Cyborg was just too much, and gina was just not ready. Why did she give up the full mount? Maybe she will learn from this, and grow as a fighter. I think that mike is right, strikeforce is going out, even with fedor. They just cant go head to head with UFC. I really dont care,I just love MMA, but UFC is top dog in the states
August 16th, 2009 at 12:47 pmI like Gina Carano as a fighter and as a person but Cris Cyborg is at another level.She is even 3 years younger than Gina but she is hands down the better fighter.Gina was outclassed.I think Gina is a little bit overrated because of her hot looks
August 16th, 2009 at 1:36 pmI agree with some of you guys. I don’t think Gina is a fraud or “just a pretty face” at all. It’s just that Cyborg is that much better, and proved it last night. Even if Gina had survived that round, it would have been more of the same in Round 2. Gina pushed herself too hard too early with her cardio the way it was, and Cyborg walked right through every one of Gina’s punches.
Cyborg is definitely one of the baddest bitches on the planet…the question now is, with Carano supposedly being Cyborg’s “top competition”, who’s left? Are we looking at the Brock Lesnar of women’s MMA?
August 16th, 2009 at 2:30 pmAny1 thought Carano would win? LOL.. total ownage..
August 16th, 2009 at 3:07 pmI’ve seen some japanese female MMA fighters that could take a good amount of punishment and are good BJJ fighters so there’s good comp’ for Cyborg if Strikeforce can get those fighters.
August 16th, 2009 at 4:06 pmOkay, it’s time to be completely honest here. For these to be two of the top-level female mixed martial artists in the world, it validates Dana White’s lack of interest in showcasing their “talents” in the UFC. Outside of two rudimentary hip escapes by Santos, this fight was devoid of anything more than novice-level striking and cat fight grappling. Don’t even get me started on the people who are CONVINCED a 5’8″, 160 lb Cyborg (probably with bigger nuts than half of the guys posting in this thread) could beat a comparably-sized man…
August 16th, 2009 at 5:38 pmI’m surprise Cyborg is married she looks like she could be the dude in the relationship, she probably a lesbo for real and she likes to smack around her bitches like a pimp that’s why she so good in the ring reminds her of being back home in Brazil were she pimps her hoes out in the streets !
August 16th, 2009 at 6:26 pm@will – Just because she wear a mini skirt, doesn’t mean she doesn’t take it seriously. She trains her ass of despite what you think of her.
August 16th, 2009 at 8:03 pmgina does not look like a 145 lb fighter cyborg is way bigger thats like lesnar v.s. gsp out there gina aint have to lose nothing to fight at that weight
August 16th, 2009 at 9:55 pmam i the only one who recognizes the size difference ?
August 16th, 2009 at 9:57 pmGina is over rated because she has a pretty face. Both are good fighters but Cyborg was better. Maybe Gina should step down in class, and maybe Cyborg should start fighting men. She’s a beast!
August 17th, 2009 at 8:21 amGina is hot. i like your fight style..
August 17th, 2009 at 3:50 pmU can tell Cyborg is a roid head
August 17th, 2009 at 4:14 pmI agree, if Gina had more faith in her ability and experience then she could have won that with GnP. She landed some good shots which you wouldnt want to take many more of.
August 18th, 2009 at 4:55 amShe feared Cyborgs ground game if think.
GIna walked into this fight intimidated by Cyborg that’s why she screwed up those few times that she could’ve dominated. Once when she had full mount of Cyborg she could’ve kept going but she got up!? WTF! That just goes to show that Gina needs more ground training if she ever wants a rematch with Cyborg. On her feet she did better but Cyborg was way too fast for her. Forget all the other crap she trained in, that’s when her street fighting skills needed to come in!
August 18th, 2009 at 7:50 amI think Gina is a great fighter, but you can tell she wasnt as prepared as Cyborg. Gina can win the next fight if there is a rematch, for sure. She is also smoking hot!!! Cyborg was way more built and way morer dominant. she looked like she is ready to take on some guys…
August 18th, 2009 at 8:01 amCorrect stoppage, better fighter won, and women’s MMA DOES belong.
August 18th, 2009 at 7:01 pmCris Cyborg luta demais, não tem pra ninguém!
essa americana ae é fraquinha dmais !
August 19th, 2009 at 1:17 pmCyborg is lucky that China from WWE isnt in the ring cuz she would put on a clinic. China is the true champion. These women don’t know what it is to go toe to toe with a REAL fighter.
September 7th, 2009 at 11:38 pmOoh! you’re just jealous ’cause gina’s a good fighter, and you ain’t!
