The Gina Carano Vs Cris Cyborg fight was one of the most anticipated bout in MMA history, or at least in women’s MMA history. Gina Carano and Cris Cyborg are the two highest profile women MMA athletes and it was only a matter of time before the two faced off in a fight to see who is queen of the women MMA world.
The American Gina Carano is a crowd’s favorite, at least in North America: she is beautiful and deadly at the same time. Gina Carano’s weigh in was an event onto itself and had the crowd roaring. She might be beautiful but she is also a very accomplished MMA athlete with convincing wins over some of the best fighters in women MMA. The Carano Cyborg fight set the record straight as to who is the best current MMA fighter.
The Brazilian Cris Cyborg had plans of her own to foil the meteoric rise of Gina Carano to the top of the women MMA rooster. An incredibly aggressive striker, Cris Cyborg has bullied her way to the top of the league, stringing impressive wins one over the other. To many, in this fight she was the favorite to win over Carano, who fought for the first time in her career as the underdog.
My prediction for the Gina Carano Cris Cyborg fight was that if Gina can weather the first round flurry of Cris Cyborg she would eventually get the better of the Brazilian. Cris has never faced a tough opponent like Gina whose striking is also world class and who will not stand there and take it without retaliating with a few shots of her own. That plus the fact that Cris cardio has shown signs of weaknesses before would mean that if the fight reaches the latter rounds things might sway in the favor of Gina as times goes on. Not to underestimate Cris Cyborg though, she is a real wrecking machine with real knock out power.
So was I right or way off with my prediction? On to the Gina Carano Cris Cyborg fight proper:
Round 1: Cris Cyborg dominating, landing more shots and scoring more take downs. It looks like Gina Carano is having trouble coping with the strength and aggressivity of Cris Cyborg Santos. Near the end of the round Cris scores the take down and grounds and pounds Carano to take the victory.
Gina Carano Vs Cris Cyborg fight result: Cris Cyborg wins the fight by GNP round 1.
