ESPN to Feature Carano
Saturday, May 03, 2008
by Sherdog.com Staff

The "face of women's MMA" is getting a whole lot more familiar.

Gina Carano (Pictures), the raven-haired heroine of EliteXC events on Showtime, will be featured on ESPN's "E:60" newsmagazine on Tuesday, May 13, at 7 p.m. ET. The segment will focus on the 26-year-old's preparations for her sixth career bout against Minnesota Martial Arts' Kaitlin Young (Pictures) (4-1) at EliteXC "Primetime," on Saturday, May 31, in Newark, N.J.

The bout will be broadcast on CBS at 9 p.m. ET, a first run for the sport on mainstream television. Both ladies boast backgrounds in muay Thai.

The photogenic Carano is currently in Los Angeles shooting episodes of the second season of NBC's "American Gladiators," which debuts Sunday, May 12, at 8 p.m. ET.

A product of the Xtreme Couture squad out of Las Vegas, she has split her training between the R1 training facility in El Segundo, Calif., and the Legends gym in Hollywood.

"E:60" is no stranger to the sport. In October 2007, the program chronicled Pat Miletich (Pictures)'s famed camp in Iowa as it moved through the International Fight League. That December, "E:60" cameras turned to Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson's meteoric rise from backyard bruiser to bona fide MMA star.
