Despite Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker's continued optimism (via MMAWeekly) that "Conviction" will return sometime in 2011:
"We’re basically talking to her agent. The agent informed me that there were some re-shoots in her film, she’s got a big premiere coming up, but the door’s always open. When she’s ready to come back, that’s when we want her to come back. I believe in her heart just like these other athletes that go into the movies, even though they have success in the film industry such as Quinton Jackson or Cung Le, like he’s doing right now, and Gina, I saw parts of her movie and it was fantastic, but equal time, you’re still a fighter at heart. I know they want to compete."
Sharing the silver screen with the likes of Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas and Ewan MacGregor, the former face of women's MMA Gina Carano will chop-socky her way onto the big screen in "Haywire" courtesy of director Steven Soderbergh in Spring 2011. But will she get her hands dirty inside the cage one more time before the glitz and glamor of Hollywood take her for good? Or has production wrapped on her mixed martial arts career?

lol, She aint coming back.
And if she does it’s not like there is a 147.5 lbs weight class waiting for her. Now someone please commence the obligatory gina picture dump.

If the round is too close, it's 10-10, NOT flip a coin 10-9 or late takedown FTW.

About that link….
Awesome. I wonder how they both felt the day after. Awesome showcase of Muay Thai. Punches, Elbows, Knees and kicks. I dont know why MMA guys dont try the standing elbow strike alot more. The kind that Anderson caught Chael with.
Also, those were two tough guys man. They kept putting it on and coming forward. I dont think people understand how talented and how balanced Muay Thai guys are. Honestly the front kick should be used more as well. Ive seen it a little in MMA but should be used more.
Anyways thanks for sharing

Standing elbows man, those were a treat right? I sense another fanpost coming lol
But yea i figured you’d love that fight. It was absolute technique man and just pure toughness. I also loved the crowd men especially when the momentum was shifting. Both of them worked each other up and down all the way. I dont think there was a single Muay thai technique that wasnt displayed. Leg kicks to behind the calf from the clinch ftw man.

When he caught the leg and instead of doing what normal people do and kick the inside leg while holding it he knee’d the inside thight. Thats some innovation.

Wait wait wait
I thought her MMA career ended when Guyborg beat her silly? Did I miss something?
who doesnt love Gina
I think she should stay in the movies if she is anygood at it. Cyborg wont be stopped by gina. And i don’t want her to mess up that face.
With the win over the legend Matt Hughes the gates are slowly being greased. Soon it will be time to open the Shit gates once again.
i'd like to mess up her face....
if you know what i mean

If her acting is like any other MMA fighter
in every movie I’ve seen them in, she should stick to getting punched in the face for a living.

that dirty haired blonde to our right has been in alot of gina pictures lately.
i think gina plays for the other team.
On february 5th 2011 at UFC 126 Jon "Bones" Jones will show the world that their was no need for the MMA community to hype this man because this guy is a beast with many skills and i personally will feel Ryan "Darth" Bader's pain after this fight. SB Nation's public enemy #1.

I think there’s a conga line of dudes nailing her, including Banderas, Douglas, Couture, Couture’s son, the director of the movie, at least three of the executive producers and possibly ANS. No guarantees that they are going one at a time either.

Think daddy and son get some action?

Banderas looks like the unabomber in the pic above.

Carano announces her next fight
15 seconds after Cyborg gets injured.
Kinda like how carwin started “looking” for an opponent once all the top HWs were wrapped up.
