Gina Carano on fighting Cyborg, manly knuckles and posing for Playboy (audio)

The face of women's MMA, Gina Carano, was a guest this morning on The Boomer & Carton show on New York City's all sports station WFAN 660 AM.

The EliteXC superstar and former American Gladiator talked about life as a female fighter, her take on the Kimbo Slice debacle at 'Heat', manly knuckles and the verdict on whether or not she would pose for Playboy.

And what about a superfight with female boxing sensation Laila Ali?

Take a listen!

lol that is great. I think she a good fighter, but you guys must not get out much the way you all gawk over her. I see hotter women every day, and have had sex with at least 30 better looking than she is…and married one!

Yeah true, if i saw her on the street and didn’t know who she was i wouldn’t give her second look. I think a lot of people like her because she is the best looking female mma fighter, that however dosn’t mean she’s all that good looking lol, she’s ok nothing special.

Oh yeah forgot about here. Yeah she is pretty hot, better looking than Gina anyway.

Well Waterson is also a bikini model, so she helps make her living by being beautiful. No one can argue that hse is hot, but I still like Gina too. Gina has a great rack, and that goes far in my book. haha

yeah yeah, ‘30’—and married one… and dropped 16K some weekend partying and doing coke. we get it. you’re so awsome.

Yeah, I call bs on that one too. YOU may think they are hotter, but that hardly makes it so.

by naturalshadow on Oct 16, 2008 7:59 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Per your own admission, you’ve done hookers. That doesn’t count.

I would rip her page out and use it as my sock…lol

Obviously, Boomer and Carton, like most ‘sports personalities’, know absolutely dick about MMA.

by Luppers on Oct 16, 2008 3:29 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

i can’t listen to the audio stream here at work, but what does she say about posing in playboy? yay or nay?

by alabaster on Oct 16, 2008 3:40 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

she pretty much says no, not for half a mill and then asks the stupid question “do you really want to see me naked?”

by sickshotbri on Oct 16, 2008 4:58 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Um… yes?

by yohnstoppable on Oct 16, 2008 5:27 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Sounds like negotiation to me.

We should all chip in a little money.

by chefdaddy on Oct 17, 2008 7:43 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

let us remember her pretty face as it is right now because it will take months for her to recover after the beating cyborg is gonna put on her..

by shamo84 on Oct 16, 2008 3:48 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I guess you’ve never seen her picture with a black eye. Very hot; too bad i have to continue bashing her until she makes weight.

by NameNotRequired on Oct 16, 2008 4:44 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Damn that DJ is annoying. She should have put that mouthy little f*cker to sleep.

by JRK on Oct 16, 2008 3:54 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

What did she say about Playboy? They’ve got fantastic photoshop people there, I’m sure she’d look smokin’ hot in one of their “spreads”.

by Graham on Oct 16, 2008 4:03 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Those on-air guys remind me of those fast talking, high pitched dudes in high school who could never get laid. Wow, they’re annoying. Poor Gina.

Hell yeah they are…

thats hall of fame quarterback boomer esiason and idk who the other main idiot was

by randy murders on Oct 16, 2008 4:59 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

the main guy doing this interview is a f###ing moron. carano should have punched him in the face.

by B_Hos on Oct 16, 2008 4:26 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

they’re the guys who replaced imus. i like them less every day but i will say one thing – for all the ufc has done for the sport, it wasn’t until the cbs/elitexc shows that anyone spoke a word about mma on that station, which as far as i know is one of the top all-sports stations in the country, and one of the top overall non-hispanic stations of any format in the city. unfortunately, most of the talk has been about kimbo being exposed and the possibility of it being a fix. makes me think that ufc cutting a network deal would benefit the sport a great deal…

I would beg Gina Carrano to put me in a triangle choke.

wow, that original. she’s too……..something for me, i can’t put my finger on it (i know, you’d put your finger in it)

by kevin doesn't know shit on Oct 16, 2008 5:25 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think she said the word “like” about 50000 times…

by Ixian on Oct 16, 2008 5:23 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Like whatever!

by dandeman on Oct 16, 2008 6:18 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Like, c’mon…. She didn’t say “like”, like 50000 times. Youre, like, exagerating.

by cbchwa on Oct 17, 2008 2:03 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

A) She doesnt pretend like she’s all that pretty as public makes her out to be. Shes a normal girl with descent looks that loves to kick ass.
B) Yes, shes not skinny and actually big boned, weighed up to 180 lbs before started to train Muai Thai. Get over it.
C) Like most fighters, she doesnt really like to do PR work but she knows that she is breaking the ground for other female MMA athletes — so cut her some slack.
D) She is one of the most real people i ever met.

by dance2tranz on Oct 16, 2008 5:38 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Well put. Her being so cool and down to earth makes her that much more attractive. She seems to be a little on the shy side and doesn’t seem to have a cocky bone in her body. Very cool.

anyone who says that they don’t wanna see gina do playboy bc she has “weight problems” is crazy, and gay

by DrewJitsu on Oct 16, 2008 6:04 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

these idiot radio hosts are so freakin annoying. Boomer Esaison is a tool whos just a bitter ex nfl qb who couldnt get a ring and will never make the hall of fame. That other idiot is some tool radio jockey that talked to gina like she was a stripper. These morons are not funny, i live in NY and cant stand there show. I feel bad for gina that she has to deal with these douches who know nothing about the sport and obviously dont respect it. Is gina hot? yes, but she’s a talented fighter, she’s not given easy fights like kimbo is, though she doesnt face the toughest competition yet. Its one thing to joke around with her a little bit about her looks but these morons just sounded dumb. When gina was on craig fergusons show, he did a good interview, making a few jokes here and there, but he didnt act like a 12 year old thats never gotten laid. these guys blow, thank god opie and anothony is on in the mornings in ny so there’s something good to listen to.
On a side note, one of the host Anthony Cumia broke that idiot boomer esaisons arm when they were in grade school, even though boomer will never admit it.

GCAR is gonna rock HOborg den capitalize on her a@@!!!! HOborg aint never been hit like GCARS gonna hit her.

by DEEZNUTZ on Oct 16, 2008 7:25 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

they were pretty disrespectful toward her

should of snapped the one guys arm and then choked the other to teach them a lesson

on the playboy issue there are very few women who dont have a price…ie people with millions in the bank

1 question would you ever do playboy like ashley harkleroad fair enough

but dont start throwing $$$ figures at her like you would a stripper or hooker is just wrong

most women would slap you for behaviour like that

try this next time your at a bar if you think these guys were funny

hey baby il give you 100 bucks to take your top off

please film her response

by bigjohn on Oct 16, 2008 8:39 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Hey c’mon guys, don’t talk about her like that.

by The Anomaly on Oct 17, 2008 2:13 AM EDT reply actions   0 recs

She has a weight problem? Like people here think she is too big? Too thick for playboy? Whatever. I know half the geeks that do photoshop work for mags like playboy, and the girls in those mags are either too thick and then made thin, or dangerously skinny and then made thicker.

I really dig how most, not all, but most of the guys criticizing women for their weight are fat themselves, and out of shape. Its the same phenomenon as unattractive people going for attractive people, and so on and so forth. Be happy girls even talk to you, if they do.
