Gina Carano on Muscle and Fitness

Gina Carano who recently won at EliteXC: Primetime is on this months cover of Muscle and Fitness, Carano is quickly becoming the face of Women's MMA in the US. She represents what women in todays society see themselves as hard working tough women who can kick ass and be independent. Carano and EliteXC are doing a great job of keeping her in the spotlight where she belongs.

"My 2 Cents"

I dont get why Gina is on the cover of this magazine when she came in 4 pounds overweight for her fight against Kaitlin Young. All the talk about Gina needing to refocus her training is beginning to catch up to her with hardcore MMA fans. Missing weight once, (man its Gina Carano) no big deal. But 4 times after they changed the division just so she can make weight then missing it. Gina is very talented but needs to refocus on MMA, American Gladiators will not feed her 5 years from now MMA will. As we all know this will be glossed over with one time making weight, but I still just feel it is hypocritical to be on that magazine that promotes fitness. When you only begin to start training 3 weeks before the biggest fight of your career.
