Greg Jackson & Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone on Gina Carano
Tweet
.
“She called me up and said ‘Hey, can I come down to Albuquerque to train?’ I said, Sure. So, she came down to train. We don’t have any 145ers, and she’s really sweet and really nice. So, those are the things you look for. And she’s talented; she’s very talented. She works hard, she does what’s expected, and I’m impressed. I’m just starting to get to know her as fighter. But, she’s here all the time and she works really, really hard. She’s got the talent, and she has a great work ethic. Those two things will take you as far as your will can. As I get to know her more as far as helping her out for the fight, we’ll get to a better sense of it. But, she definitely has all the talent and all the potential in the world.” (MMAJunkie – credit: JChap2)
“Gina’s a really cool girl, man. She’s got great kickboxing. I’ve been a fan of hers for a long time. I’m honored to get in there and work with her.” (click for interview)

Randy Couture: Gina Carano still a part of Xtreme Couture
Tweet
According to the legendary fighter and head of the famed Las Vegas gym, Gina Carano is still with the Xtreme Couture Team. For weeks past, the fighter and soon to be leading movie star had been training at the New Mexico based Jackson/Winklejohn gym along with their stable of females, including former opponent Julie Kedzie, & champion boxer turned mma fighter Holly Holm.
Couture: I think they have more females training down there & I think she wanted to get her camp jumpstarted.I’m all for it. I want all the fighters at my gym to go wherever they need to go to get what they need to progress & become the best fighters they can be. They can’t always get that at Xtreme Couture. She assured me she’s still a part of Xtreme Couture & I wasn’t worried about it anyway. She’s great for the sport. She’s a great person & I think she’s going to be fantastic this summer.”
