Cris 'Cyborg' Santos: Stopping the fight was good for Gina's health

GINAAAAA!! NOOOO!!! She’ll come back stronger..that man can hold the title for now.

GINA!!! NOOO!!! She’ll come back stronger..that man can hold the title for now.

Gina got her sweet ass Whooped.
next up for both females will be an easy fight then a rematch near the end of the year!

that man is the new face of women MMA so show a little respect geez!

The stoppage was necessary. Gina is a tough girl but was just overwhelmed by Cyborg’s speed and power. Exciting fight though. Looking forward to a rematch.

Ginna has beat alot of female MMA fighters. And i knew that Cyborg was to much for her.. Cyborg rolls with men all the time,and Ginna is a good fighter, but she is a woman first.. Cyborg is a manchild..bAD ASS FOR SURE!! hENDO66!

that fight was SUPER exciting!

gina has tons of heart, but it was Cyborg night for sure.

Id fuck the new champ….NO HOMO

WOW….who the hell gonna even compete with Cyborg, Gina was the only one even close in talent and she basically got her ass kicked…..we still love ya Crush

No need for a rematch , The result would be the same.

Gina can fight ( YES ) But Cyborg is to much to handle for Gina…

Should they have a rematch? Who really cares about women’s mma anyway?

Its a man fighting a woman, what do you expect

I knew that man was going to wreck Gina.
It’s good to see a female fighter get their due based on actual fighting ability instead of there supposed good looks.

shows what training using the juice and training without does to the result of this fight. Cyborg has one awesome man jaw!

she put up more of a fight, than i thought she would!

Those are real f@g comments calling her a man, why not respect Cyborg, she fought like a true champ, this aint about looks this about MMA….sissies

The Fetal Position is not an intelligent form of defense, as far as what I can remember. She was fetal for close to 15 seconds. Gina gave up her top position the one time rather than taking advantage of it, but on the same note Cyborg actually let her stand when she had her back, which I found really odd. Gina needed to use her fron push kick, to keep the distance. She actually backed up Cyborg when she was keeping a rhythm. It was obvious Cyborg did not like getting hit with Gina’s power. Well I guess sticking to a game plan is real hard when you are fighting that much power.

The idea of a rematch is the only obvious thing. Who else is she going to fight? There is no other women worth fighting. Maybe Cyborg can go to the WEC and challenge Mike Brown for the 145# unification…

Great show. Have to applaud Gino & Cyborg. A lot of pressure for both fighters before entering the cage and put on a great performance either way.
Her power is scary. She’d put up a fight for Silva, more interesting than Laites.

Good stoppage, if anything it was a little late, Gina clearly was done by the end of the round and wouldn’t have made the second so no complaints about that.

This was a one-sided beatdown, just as expected. Cyborg is too powerful and well rounded for Gina, full credit to her for battling through but Cyborg was too much. Gina had Cyborg in mount a couple of times, though other than that she didn’t really have anything to offer and even the dominant position was helped by Cyborg making mistakes in the clinch. Not the most technical fight or the most competetive but it was still an entertaining fight.

you would think since cyborg is a man he would have ripped gina’s clothes off!!! that would have been my gameplan!!!! damn you cyborg!!

I don’t know about you guys, but for me, women’s MMA involving a seriously hot chic like Carano is disturbing to watch. As much as I like MMA, that’s a hard one to take. I don’t have any issues watching the Cyborg’s a butch-type bitches roll, but something about this made it hard to watch. Not to say there shouldn’t be women’s MMA.

That is a really excellent photo up there in the article. Kudos to the photog who captured that frame.

Here is the problem:

So they find another fighter who can beat Cyborg….WTF is she going to look like? Bigger and badder that Cyborg? MEH.

Fact: Womens MMA is an exhibition

Gina is an usually hot women fighter that has great talent relative to the other fighters. The MMA base (men) tuned in cause she was hot (for the most part).

So what happens from here? Watch Cyborg beat up someone every few months? Not enough people are going to care to make money off this thing. UFC was smart not to buy into this.

Fact: I’d like to watch Gina fight….Just to see her at the weigh ins. :) Sexist pig…I know.

I wonder if Gina is going to be wife #4 for Randy? They seemed pretty close, which is gross because he looks older than her real dad.

Anyway I don’t want to see Gina get beat up again. I always said Womens MMA can be a decent draw as long as it’s Pretty fighter beating up ugly fighter. Hopefully Gina retires soon and has babies because she has good genetics.

I really wished rosenthal didnt have to stop it, now all the fucking losers who have never seen pussy except the one they came out of will wine and say she coulda got her in the later rounds(fuck u mauro lol) They shoulda let her quit on the stool or get so fucked up there wouldnt even be a whisper about a re-match. The plus side is she has more time to suck on randy’s old man balls lmao

cyborg is on the juice!

Cyborg is now an untouchable female fighter forevah!
Fedor watch out LOL

Why in God’s name did Gina give up the full mount to stand with someone who was smashing her on the feet, absolute insanity.

I bet Cyborg pissed in the cup standing up for the test…I almost guarentee it

Stopping the fight was good for Gina’s health

sarcastic comment xD

I wanna see Fedor fight Cyborg next.

Unless they can get another worthy woman, WMMA will be a bore.

Dana White is an idiot for not signing Gina when he had the chance. Guess what Dana, because of Gina, “Strikefarce” (as you call it) is a legitimate ratings competitor to the UFC. Now Coker can expand on this and actually make Strikeforce matter. I’m pulling for you Dana, but you need to get your bald head out your ass and not let your ego get too big cause some of your business decisions are down right stupid. Gina would of taken the UFC to a different level and your stupid ass didn’t sign her.

lol @ mma anal-penetration

I think the fight was good for the sport. Still can’t say I am pumped for women’s MMA though. I think it will turn out well for the next year or so lining up opponents for Cyborg and potentially building a rematch back up. If Gina fights some other top tier rising female stars it could help build her confidence.

Cyborg definitely was too much for Gina last night and I agree with the posters that say the fight was stopped too late if anything. I was there and Gina was simply outmatched and getting pummeled at the end of the fight. TKO plain and simple.

Seriously, the hitting power difference was absurd. I think Cyborg was toying with Gina, and I’m not a Cyborg fan, I just don’t care for women MMA.

Every punch and kick received by Gina appeared to cripple her. I don’t know why Cyborg spent all that time going for submissions, she could’ve ended it much earlier by throwing bombs.

Cyborg is the CHAMPPPPPP
SHE IS THE GREATEST FEMALE MMA FIGHTER OF ALL TIME
hate it or love it thats the fact :)

The fight was more competitive than I thought it was going to be. Gina actual had a couple moments were she had Cyborg in potentially bad spots, but couldn’t capitalize.

I’m sure they didn’t want to see Gina get too beat up, hence the early stoppage IMO. Only about 1 in 3 of those shots at the end were even getting through, the rest were hitting her arms. With only 1! second left the ref could have let that go and see what would happen in the second round.

I don’t know why Big John wasn’t reffing this important historical match if he was there working anyway. Or Herb Dean as a second choice. They probably pick lots to determine who refs what, but they just should have assigned him to the main event.

Gina would most likely have lost in the second round, but I actually think she was very competitive for most of the first. It was not the complete destruction most people are making it out to be.

Gina stepping out of a full mount to let Cyborg up was one of the worst moves of all time. I know Randy didn’t teach her that.

Cyborg was rolling for half guard, but still. BJ Penn she is not.

All things considered, though, I thought Gina did well, because I thought she was gonna get mauled right out of the gate and she had her moments.

Too bad we couldn’t see round 2.

Ironic you guys call Santos a “man” while she’s married and Gine is the dyke.

Well that went exactly how I imagined it would. You could tell early in the fight that Gina did not want to be in there. At one point early she looked like she just wanted to quit. Cyborg by total destruction, the last girl she fought put up a better fight than Gina!!!!!!!!!

The fight overall was good. Gina did lose but you have to realize that 1. she had all this “face of women’s mma” and everyone wanting her to come out on top crap 2. she has been out of the ring for almost a year. I still love you Gina you’re a great fighter.

I’ll have to watch it again but I can’t figure out why when Gina had the dominant position early (full mount) she let Cyborg up.

Ok, Am I insane? Maybe I am just in denial, I don’t know. But what I believe is that Cyborg fought a dirty fight. She kicks Gina from behind into her crouch region, and then clearly, RIGHT ON CAMERA, rigs her nails into Gina’s eye, and no one seems to mention this or acknolwedge it. What is with people? If Cyborg is tough then she should have fought with some dignity and class. MAN! Even the fans saw this rig to the eyes and reacted.

Look, I don’t want to be a cry baby. The ref was worried about Gina and stopped it. OK, I accept it. But please don’t pretend that Gina was DEMOLOSIHED or any of these other stupid adjectives you seem to feel necessary in describing her defeat. And PLEASE don’t expect me or other Gina fans to bow down to a champion who clearly used dirty tactics. Don’t get me wrong. Personally, Cyborg seems like a pleasant lady who very much appreciates fans and the sport. I hope she does well.

I love GINA, always will. She is a true class act and a wonderful young lady. Reading some of these comments is putting me over the edge. You people can be such idiots sometimes. I know they are athletes, but they are human beings. Have some respect for what Gina accomplsihed for the sport, and will continue to accomplish when she bounces back.

No ifs, ands, or buts about it Gina got completely schooled in this fight. It was almost like she was told “just go out there and protect your face and it will all be over soon”. Complete lack of heart on Gina’s part, verging on discraceful in my opinion. Gina was simply a marketing scheme based on her looks and NOTHING else and this just proved that point beyond a doubt to anyone with half a brain.

I agree that Gina was not demolished. She showed good balance at times in the clinch when they were both working for the takedown or to maintain control. She ended up in the mount at one point raining down blows. When Cyborg rolled for half guard Gina made a huge mistake and lost a key opportunity.

At the highest level, you pay for mistakes like that. Against a stronger fighter like Cyborg, Gina needed the perfect fight to pull off a W. But she was competitive. She back Cyborg up with some nice stiff jabs and landed one of her patented front kicks. I, for one, believe the fight should have gone to the second round, as Cyborg got control with only 10 second left in the round and the majority of her strikes were hitting Gina’s arms. True she got some good ones thru and shook her up, but she didn’t put her away.

Gina should work on her ground game with BJ Penn. Then she might learn how a dominant position like she had can mean the end of the fight for her competitor.

To quote Bonnar, when BJ Penn gets that position it is a “death sentence.” Mount to back to mount to back to RNC.

Was a good fight, cyborg is a beast!. Think Gina will take this on the chin and come back stronger, shes very dedicated

POOR GINA GOT HER PRETTY ASS FACE DESTROYD!!

lmao bigmcmac she prob bends it into her ass b4 a fight

lmao bigmcmac he prob tucks it in his bum b4 a fight

Sad to hear comments about women who are making it in a man’s world. Oddly enough, it is weird to see women fight in a cage where men dominate the beastly atmosphere. I can’t understand all the hype about men pounding on each other who obviously are steroid freaks. But seeing Gina and Chris fight was undoubtly a hype for entertainment and the big money. Gina was trying to save her face. Cyborg deserve a lot more credit from all the hard work she has put into her fighting abilities. Cyborg you ROCK! Don’t listen to negative comments because most negative comments come from fear.

Both women trained hard to get in superb shape. The difference was Cristiane Cyborg Santos’ pinpoint accurate cycling on and then off of her steroid program to pass Strikeforce’s non random PED drug screening test.

Cyborg’s man-like strength was too much for Gina. Any knowledgeable bettor picked Cris Cyborg to win (as I did) even though one had to lay almost 2 to get 1. Good grief, if I’m allowed to make money betting on a fight between two similarly skilled women but one is allowed to cheat with steroids while the other does not cheat…well, it’s like printing money.

Recently, in an interview with M-1 Global, MMA newcomer Cindy Dandois (who defeated Marloes Coenen is her 1st MMA fight) said this about Cristiane Cyborg Santos: “…there’s not much woman left in her.”

I can’t wait for that fight.

Cristine Santos is absolutely a MAN really
