Carano: For the Love of the Fight, Not the Fame
 Previous Video Next Video
Of all the fighters to be put under the microscope, Gina Carano could arguably be one of the most scrutinized.

Some believe her good looks are a distraction from what really matters, at a time when women’s MMA is just beginning to find its own legs beside its male counterpart.

Regardless, the 27-year-old Las Vegas native has to deal with the added attention -- both positive and not so pleasant –- and find a way for it not to affect her training and subsequent performances in a negative way.

In this exclusive interview, Carano describes why her place in the sport is both a blessing and a curse, and how she’s coming to terms with the pressure of being “the face of women’s MMA.”

Coaches Randy Couture, Scott Bieri and Chris Ben-Tchavtchavadze also hone in on the mental and physical tools that their student will carry into battle against the formidable Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos at Strikeforce “Carano vs. Cyborg” this Saturday.
