"I don't think it's time to throw [the division] out to the garbage. I still think we have some great fighters at 145 and a lot of girls that maybe haven't been around for a while ... I believe they're going to be motivated to come back because Cyborg won't be there. I think Gina Carano is definitely somebody who'd like to fight again, but she's got a big movie guys. I'm not sure if you seen the commercials, it's everywhere. And Steven Soderbergh is gonna be behind her. When that happens, great things are going to happen for her. She might get another picture deal."
-- At the "Rockhold vs. Jardine" post-fight press conference last night (Sat., Jan. 7, 2012), Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker (via Cagewriter) talks about the state of the women's featherweight division following Cristiane Santos' suspension for a failed steroid test. UFC President Dana White initially opined that the 145-pound weight class is likely done due to "Cyborg" being gone for a year but Coker, who works underneath White, mind you, seems to have other plans. His argument is that with Santos gone, the division will be reinvigorated with fresh challengers. This seems to fly in the face of what was stated previously, that they were having trouble even coming up with credible folks to fight for the title before, but that was more because of how good the Brazilian champion was. And now that her entire reign is in question thanks to her being aided by illegal substances, the division should get a fresh start, right? Coker is definitely doing some spinning to the media here but it could result in plenty of women keeping their jobs at their current weights instead of being told to cut down to 135-pounds. Plus, if Gina Carano comes back -- a prospect that looks less and less likely every day -- she could easily contest for the title in her return fight.

Damn thats a terrible picture
I’m the biggest fag on mania, I’m more queer than a football bat, I wish i could get all brokeback with Cowboy, I should never pick a country boy to beat a thug. I was out of my mind and will never dis the Diaz brothers again. Actually Nate is the one that’s going to take Frankie’s title. Cruz Jackson is a demigod to all you bitches. and i am his bitch now, I have lost twice to him. Someone please pick a sig bet with him as i can no longer afford to take the beating i have taken.

I was thinking the same thing
Cyborg is truly a frightening fighter.

Wishful thinking.
She used MMA as a stepping stone to get where to where she is now.
P4P TOP 5 1. Nick Diaz 2. Nate Diaz 3. Fedor 4. Overeem 5. Junie Browning … Also Nate AND Nick will both be champions of thier respective brackets. Dont Fuck With Mean Mug he will make you slob all over your most hated fighters knob 209 BITCHES!!!!!!
Gina has more passion for combats sports than you suggest.
She did go to Thailand and earn her black belt before she ever fought in mma.

And she has more passion for cock than you think
She got the belt and the dick at a hotel we had arranged to meet at previously in new jersey .
I put all of my love log down her throat and she didn’t even twitch and that’s nothing to shrug about cause I do some serious porn with my member .
After slobbering down every part of my shaft i threw it into first and plunged into her sausage wallet so hard I swear I torpedoed one of her floating ribs .
She got a small break after that round and her corner told her slow it down and open up a bit . I over heard this so when she came after riding me like a six flags coaster I flipped her over knowing she’d open up and stuffed her ass full of meat releasing sticky salamanders into her large intestine .
Only then did she get her white belt .
Talk about dedication

I've sometimes wondered with Dana White being a Las Vegas guy what his mafia connections are like
He’s got to have some serious muscle when he needs it
You think some of that stuff really goes down?
Interesting

It has to happen
It’s a pro fighting sport, tons of gambling goes on, it’s Las Vegas. There has to be some shady characters involved.
You think maybe like fixed fights?

That shit definitely still goes on!!!
It’s actually bigger outside of Vegas than it is inside of there bc betting is legal. NY, Boston, Chicago, etc… Atlantic City still doesn’t have a sports book bc of the “Mafia!” They would lose so much money that they’ll do whatever it takes to keep it out of there! Mafia isn’t like it once was, but better believe it’s still around.
Most probably won’t believe me especially since I won’t say their last name, but I dated a daughter of a Boss. Shit was fn nuts and I knew very little. Went with her for a long time and certain shit went down which is the only reason why I did know anything. Had some major advantages, but was scary at times. Not going to lie, it was exciting, but not something I would want to marry into!
Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! But now Tito is closing in! lol Maybe not, but I'm so fn happy that he beat Bader! The excuses were really getting to me, but when he wins, we don't hear about them.
thats awesome, not even kidding

the whole fertitta empire was founded on crooked cash from my understanding
Have to remember that las vegas was practically built by the mob
by steady2wheels on Jan 8, 2012 9:05 PM EST up reply actions
Yeah, but that was a LONG time ago. Before they shot themselves in the foot and everyone rolled over on one another.
The mob is still around, but it will never have close to the type of power it once did. Guys like Gotti fucked all that up.

yeah i know not now but im saying that's where it came from, its origins
from watching the sopranos i learnt that the mob nowadays is just a bunch of winy little bitches with emotional problems that never do anything

lol such a fucked up picture though everything from Gina's face to cyborg's name on the arm that's rearranging gina's face

So I guess she has her own name on her arm so she doesn't forget who she is?

lol Probably!
It was very obvious! Girls CAN’T look like that naturally!!! Just how Brock or Reem can’t either! I would bet anything that if you did a blood test that you would find HGH! I have known girls on that shit and not only does it look gross, but it grows their clit and changes their voices.

Hopefully Cyborg is put on the severe testing regime
as men who have failed. Lots pretend it was an accident…Sherk comes to mind..yet after his catch he was never as big, or as powerful a fighter again.
Maybe it was ya know.
She could have tripped and fell on the syringe.

Ginas done with MMA
Haywires even getting a lot of press over here so she’s set to make a lot of money on the back of that film and she’s already got other offers lined up. And since most female fighters can’t make 145 without roids or flab I think SF’s best bet is to cut their losses and promote 135 properly. There was only a FW division in the first place because Gina and Cyborg couldn’t make BW so there’s no point continuing with it now that ones a movie star and the others a drug cheat.
Money Pool Season 6 begins 30th December.
ViolentMike, DarksideDrew and Yan will all fail.
On 30th December the Pain Train shall disband.
