previous comments on Gina Carano:
Liz Carmouche:
“…She has a great smile, that personality… So, she brings what people want to see, that gentle side of mma, but at the same time (she) can throw a punch, throw a kick, and take a shot. It’s kinda what the sport needs, a face that people find attractive, find as a normal woman, but at the same time (find) as a competitive athlete.”
Sarah Kaufman:
“It’s great that Gina’s been able to find an avenue where she’s making some decent money and making a living doing something she’s really enjoying. And being successful. Everything that she did, and she did a lot of media and things I’m sure she would have preferred not to do, that definitely helped us as females in the sport. She got that recognition of being on American Gladiators. I think that if she would have won the title fight when she fought Cris Cyborg it would be a different story when she took time off. But because she lost, it was her decision to take a step back and focus on something that was different. And if she wants to come back, she’s of course very welcome.”
