Around SBN: Sean Keeley's Week 12 College Football Buffet

Gina Carano on her fight future and that of female MMA and more

Props: AskMen.com

Quoteworthy:

"I think the fighters really just want to move on… it sucks for us because we want to be scheduling these next fights and figure out what’s going on. It would be really nice to be a free agent because then maybe I could resign with EliteXC again, or someone else, and get paid a little bit better.... We’ve got a bunch of 12 and 13 year olds training with us now, so it’s going to be amazing in a couple years. The reaction I’ve got is that people are interested. Sometimes there was only one female fight on the card and they just can’t stop talking about it. I think the future looks great."

"Conviction" answers 14 questions in the interview, including her expectations of the "ultimate first date" and much more. Check out when you can.

Something needs to be done about the eliteXC fighters. Its really a shame that they just have to sit in limbo wondering what the hell is going on. THese guys fight for a living. If ElitexC isnt going to schedule a show soon….let these guys move on!

John- u watch cat albert fight at Ring of Fire? Another big prospect. I always appreciate fighters that can put up slick anacondas Big Nog style. After the cyborg fight, i think either sarah or her will be the fight that people will be talking about for Gina (if she can make 135).

Anaconda chokes are one of my favorite submissions.. strange, because I cant get it to work.. I lock it up right (i think), but it works as a neck crank more than a choke (at least thats what the guys who tap say)

I don’t train or anything but i always notice that in MMA after the roll, the opponent lands on their side and guys are forced to use your legs on theirs to crank it(Yoshida for example). The way Big Nog or Vieira hit it, guys landed on their back and struggled less before nap time. I think it’s coz they don’t flatten them on their stomach properly before rolling but what the hell do i know:)

lol didnt see any questions about MMA really but I guess that’s not what people care about when they see a good looking chick.

Why are all of Carano’s pictures from the knees up? Oh, I know why, because she has CANKLES!!!!! She also kind of looks like Paul Stanley of KISS in this picture.

Gina Carano she is a sexy bum she could be a kick ass as Kitana for a new Mortal Kombat movie she can be a A list actress and a fighter.
even I would like to see a new new Sonya Blade played by Smallville actress Laura Vandervoort,Vandervoort does martial arts and Chris Evans as Johnny Cage,also Shin Koyamada would pull of as Liu Kang.
This is just one of the ideas that of actors that would fit the Mortal Kombat characters for the remake in Threshold Entertainment the money stages and the studio happening soon.

Thank You.
