Why Gina Caranos loss to Cyborg will hurt female MMA?
As sad as it is, it could be argued that the majority of people that watch female MMA watch it for the scantily clad women and the pretty faces. You could argue that this is the reason why Gina Carano has became the premier female fighter in women’s MMA history. As a fighter, Gina isn’t exactly the most exciting fighter male or female around, but her good looks have been a good driving factor to her popularity in the states. Ask any MMA fan what is the first thing they think of when they hear “female MMA” and chances are they’ll tell you “the smiling face of Gina Carano”, she is the Muhammad Ali of the female mixed martial arts world, which is why her recent loss to Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos has hurt female MMA more than anything else ever could have.
