You're referring to Gina Carano. And the movie was "Haywire." She's also going to be in the upcoming "Fast and Furious" movie. She didn't do too bad in Muy Thai and MMA, largely because there simply weren't a lot of top level female fighters around. She ran into one in Cris Cyborg that was on another level. She's done okay for herself, and will have a nice action film career. The Cyborg beating convinced her to preserve her looks. Rousey is an even MORE accomplished fighter than Carano was. The backstory is what it is, but I have to respect what she's overcome. Part of being a fighter is promoting fights, and her backstory is stuff of Hollywood. I'm sure she'd prefer not to talk about it all the time, and would rather just fight. Maybe she'll follow the path of Carano, but you have to get while the getting is good. If her story helps further her career, so be it.

I don't see how having women's fights weakens the sport for men. They aren't fighting each other. He won't be putting just ANY woman in there and promoting her. He'll only do that for women that have proven to be highly skilled, exciting, and....LOOK GOOD. Gina Carano's skills were decent, and she had an exciting fighting style (and not much competition, but people like seeing other people get their asses beaten, so it worked). She also had a good backstory, in that her father, Glenn, is a former NFL player. The woman that finally beat her, Cris Cyborg, didn't get much hype, even though she was more highly skilled, because she looked like a dude. Rousey has the right formula to milk. If another woman with the right mix doesn't come along, women's fights will slide into the background again.

Gina's got a nice ass on her. I had no idea.
You want to know the only thing you can assume about a broken down old man? It's that he's a survivor.

DAMN IT!!! She won. Don't ever send a lesbo to do a man's job. MikeCF, book the flight--I'm gonna kick her ass!
PS I'm sick of Danica Patrick as well. And that Haywire broad does have a nice kaboose.

Rousey/Carmouche was probably the most exciting fight of the night also, even though it was the shortest.

That was a mismatch. Carmouche should be fighting at 125. The UFC is feeding up easy fights to their new champ.
The funny part is she almost lost and ended up trying to take a chunk of of Carmouche's arm.

Yeah it fucking makes me sick that these women get ahead based on their talent I mean for fucks sake what they should do is not get good at anything and instead get mainstream attention for doing nothing even better there should be quotas to stop women from getting ahead by their talent because that just holds men back what there should be is a quota that says so many of the top womens fighters should actually be men because thats fair and historically women fighters have never been allowed to be men so we should let men into that workplace because it'll be better because men can bring their interpersonal skills to womens mma.

I think it's less them feeding Rousey easy fights, but more the fact that there just isn't a depth of top-level fighters. Carmouche had Rousey in trouble - the first fighter to really put her in a bad position in a fight. This will be the overall problem with women's MMA - being able to get good matchups when you have a fighter that emerges that is simply much better than the existing competition.

Yep. Like I said in another thread. Complete hack. So sweet to see her knocked out cold.

I just find women doing this sort of thing disturbing Seeing them bloodying each other and bruising each other is stomach turning. Makes them unfeminine and doesn't seem to be as good or ''work'' in the same way fights between men do. Just my 0.02.

As annoying as Rousey can be (if not a tad juvenile at times, but hey... chicks man...).
I'd say she'll actually benefit from this defeat.
A measure of humility is probably just what Rousey needed.
Whether she actually learns & grows from her loss or bitches & moans, is yet to be determined.

Ronda wins all her fights, "She's the best."
Ronda loses one fight: Rush87: Yep. Like I said in another thread. Complete hack.
You MMA fans are a bit difficult.
