Nice to see Kim and Gina are on the same page in regards to the weigh in and Gina’s pay. Kim needs to shut her mouth and not speak for anyone and work on trying not to get her jaw split, again.

Well, i said a while ago that i would only hate on her if she didn’t make weight. So, the whole weigh in thing was 100%her fault. The only worst thing than wrestling antics at a weigh in is an athletic commission turning a blind eye to a sports bra that weighs 1.75lbs.

The whole weigh in situation is a bit strange. But speaking from experience, scales react weird to all sorts of things. When I wrestled, I could weigh one thing, go take a leak, and come back a pound heavier. Or you could be a pound over, get back on the scale, completely exhale, and make weight. Scales, IMHO, are very general. And I believe it’s the athletic commission, not Elite, who certifies a fighter’s weight.

Maybe they should try upgrading from a bathroom scale to a real scale.

This is not an issue….Put Gina on a pay per view main event and see how many buys they get? And then see how many buys AA vs Fedor get..case closed!

I just wasted 4 minutes of my life. She’s saying nothing…why would she, elite pays her bills!

i think that was a great interview… she really seems like a good person, not a money hungry c*nt like kim couture… and like she said she could have done a better job at making weight and to $kala’s peeking thing, “well im sure other people would have done it also” shes cool, i lkike her alot more for that interview

What i like about Gina(aside from the hotness) is her class. She almost seems shy, but she goes in there in does her job. she doesnt even complain about her pay, disagrees yes, but no complaining. theres a lot of male fighters who could take a lesson from Gina. gotta love it(her). Jared vs Gina BOOK IT. oh and before someone beats me to it “BOOBIES.”

Chase-Wow. I came to these comments just to tell the people who make comments about how they want to do Gina how stupid and old it is getting but this one made me laugh. hahaha way to go Chase.

I just want to rub oil on her smooth skin. No charge.

Thank God – I was worried that no one would put up a post about banging Gina Carano in a Gina-related article.

She obviously isn’t too big on saying what is really on her mind. Aside from that, Boobies!

Exactly, who cares about whats coming out of her mouth, She’s for our Eyes not our Ears.

Exactly. I only care about what I put into her mouth. Zing!

I agree.. shes giving super generic answers
by 604Sambo on Oct 15, 2008 1:22 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Super Generic?… how should she reply to the questions that were asked?… she handles the press extremely well… I think her answers came from a level-headed gal’ that sez’ lets not dwell on this lets talk about fighting, MMA is a blast! I’m sure there’s going to be a little negotiation going on behind the scenes, she know’s there’s 1 more event with CBS…

She’s trying to pretend like she made weight.
by NameNotRequired on Oct 15, 2008 2:57 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Smart girl, at least she isn’t bashing the company that is paying her even though it isn’t as much as she would like. If more fighter had her attitude maybe MMA would be as screwy as it is ie Tito and others.
War Gina putting on a good fight and being an above average looking chick beating on other chicks!

Some fighters have some sense when they are asked questions about their employers and don’t mouth off and get themselves in trouble like Tito and Huerta.

I know Dana said he doesnt want a womens division but couldnt he contract single fighters like Gina and a couple more maybe just 5 world class fighters. and bring other fighters from aroung the world on single fight contracts and just add the occasional womans fight to a UFC event and have a belt? I think the womens fights on Elite xc have been brilliant.

OMG, I’m gonna puke, Tony and I actually agree on something.
by chefdaddy on Oct 15, 2008 8:42 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
to be fair, nearly all those questions were about her employers. cant exactly fire up.

Kim Couture is a dumb ass bitch, who the fuck out of all the straight man on this planet would not try and look? Anyways Gina is right and i do hope Elite XC can get their shit together otherwise probably wont be seeing anymore female fights.
by Khaos_Warrior on Oct 15, 2008 6:33 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Exactly.
Who the fuck wouldnt try to get a peek at Gina? Only religious nutjobs thats who.

She’s classy. Gina’s a great rolemodel for womens mma. Peace!!

The womens division is the best thing about Elite. Those have been the best fights so far. They need 5 minute rounds though. Arlovski and the girl fights have been the best parts, and arlovski was borrowed lol.

Dang that Gina is fine, so fine it almost hurts, but it doesn’t help that every time i see her in an interview she just seems to be a cool chick. usualy girls that hot make your head hurt while talking to them, with all the stupid nonsense that flows out. i
