Gina Carano Vs Cyborg, the fight every MMA fan has been waiting to see for about the last year and a half. Gina “Conviction” Carano has fought the biggest match of her career, taking on Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos in what will forever be known as “Carano vs. Cyborg.”

The ink in the history book is starting to dry, the first women’s championship MMA fight is over. Congrats to the victor. What an amazing fight!!! As usual the female MMA fighters did not let us down, we only got one round of the fight but it was an amazing round! I am not happy it ended right at the buzzer but sometimes that happens.

Cyborg’s brute force power house style was given the odds to win out the fight by most people but die hard Carano fans were just as certain Gina’s “Conviction” to remain undefeated would not waiver. The fight was hyped as a test to see whether brute force (Cyborg) would win out over strategy and technique (Carano). I’m not sure one fight proves which will win out every time but it certainly was a fun thing to speculate over and debate with people about.

So who won? Who do you think? Okay that is kinda mean of me. But hey, you should have been dedicated enough to stay up and watch the fight. Okay okay some of you probably had to work or had something major come up. I understand. The winner is Cris Cyborg. Congrats Cris.

Gina Carano will remain the face of women’s MMA. She is stunningly beautiful and an amazing fighter. In MMA being undeafeated is great and a truly remarkable accomplishment but having a loss on your record is not the kiss of death. Cris Cyborg lost her first MMA fight.

In fact it is expected. Not having a loss leads to speculation that all of your fights are rigged. Gina has battled that rumor for a very long time. Some say she was used as a pretty face to lure more fans to the sport but was never really given a powerful opponent. I think that is insulting not only to Gina Carano herself but also to all the women she fought. I never saw anything in a fight where I thought it was being thrown. Gina earned her wins and it is just plain wrong to claim otherwise unless you have credible evidence to support the claim. Female MMA fighters definitely face a harder time getting respect for the long hours they train and the beating they take inside the cage. So lay off the “fixed fight” crap already.

Fans were all over the map on how they saw this fight ending. Some thought it would be over in a matter or minutes by way of a quick knock out while others saw it going all the way to the end and being decided by the judges. This fight really was hard to decide on, personally I ran every scenario through my head and to be honest I wasn’t sure how it would end. I’m actually rather happy about that because it allowed me to watch and enjoy the fight without having to be worried about not being right about the winner and how it was won.

I still think both women are amazing fighters and look forward to watching them fight again — whether it be a rematch or some new opponent. Bring on more women’s mixed martial arts!!!

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.
