Should be a great fight! Scheduled for (5) 5-minute rounds! Though the majority of MMA followers are probably pulling for Gina to win, I'm going against the grain and picking Cristiane to win by TKO in the 2nd round. If Gina wins, I think it will be by submission, probably via rear-naked-choke, deep into the 4th round.

Other than losing a few bucks, I really would like to see Carano win this fight for the mere purpose of keeping womens' MMA alive.

Here's an interesting Preview Clip.

    When Carano fights she wears three sports bras. What does that have to do with the fight?? Who cares! Go Gina!!!

    I like Cyborg in this one. Gina is hot and all but she kind of annoys me a bit. I really don't know why. She is good on the eyes though.

    Is there any chance they might kiss?

    you wouldn't want to see them kiss. Here are the two at the weigh in.

    I was wondering where my bathroom scale went!!! I thought my wife hid it so she could pound down a few more pints of Ben & Jerry's without feeling guilty!

    Gina made a mistake by allowing her to escape from the full mount early in the round. I thought the final mistake was allowing her to stand up and going toe to toe. Her conditioning didn't look good either, yeah she prob felt she was fighting a guy(I'm sure Cyborg was 15-20 pounds heavier than weigh-in) but if you look closely, she seemed to lack energy in the final couple minutes. I watched ESPN "Commentators" segment highlighting one of Gina's workout's, it didn't seem to intense(Yes, I know what intense is). Too bad for the "good girl" making history. She'll always be hot though.
