Comments on: Defeat is Not the End for Gina Carano http://www.total-mma.com/2009/08/17/defeat-is-not-the-end-for-gina-carano/ Completing the perspective on Mixed Martial Arts Sun, 12 Feb 2012 08:29:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Dave Walsh http://www.total-mma.com/2009/08/17/defeat-is-not-the-end-for-gina-carano/#comment-34875 Dave Walsh Tue, 18 Aug 2009 22:17:38 +0000 http://www.total-mma.com/?p=691#comment-34875 I absolutely loved the fight. Everybody saying it wasn't competitive, well, I don't know what they were watching. If Carano landed solid on any of her shots or was able to weather that last barrage and make it to the next round it would have been a totally different fight. People are just not sure how to feel about women in MMA or feel that Gina was undeserving of all of this. You know, shit happens. Nobuhiko Takada was a pretty poor fighter but still was one of the reasons for the MMA boom in Japan. I absolutely loved the fight.

When I did, I was surprised how competitive it was; lots of people said it was a blowout but Carano had her moments. Good action fight with some wild bits but I wouldn't necessarily call it sloppy either. You're right Dave, the Kimbo comparison is ridiculous. Another goofy article is making the rounds which implies Carano "turned her back on MMA" by skipping the press conference. You get the impression of a scorned stalker in a lot of this talk.
