Oh man the Gina Carano VS Cyborg fight I can’t wait! Cris looks like she’s ready to tear Gina’s head off. The fans are barely cheering Cris as I think everyone is cheering on Gina. But alas, the fight is over but man what a hell of a fight. That went right at the buzzard at 4:59 of round 1. Cris cyborg must have known that she had a disadvantage later on but the advantage early on via raw power which she took advantage of early on.
While I’m not exactly a commentator I can tell you from the get go that both women came out swinging fast and VERY hard. I am guessing they were going for a quick knockout or attempting to take out each other’s stamina to ascertain each other’s strengths, weaknesses, and strategies. I think where Gina Carano went wrong was that she spent too many times kicking Cris Cyborg as Cyborg was constantly grabbing Gina’s kicking lags and pounding Gina in retaliation. Cris must have also recognized that each blow she dealt to Gina Carano vs the blows she herself took was way more than the pain she received. Seeing this, she knew if she could beat Gina in an attrition fight, which is where tic for tat, you keep beating each other down 1 by 1 because you know the math and stamina in this case, is on your side if you take enough blows and more importantly, give as many blows, which in strikeforce is known as strikes, and strike Cris Cyborg did.
While I personally doubt this will affect Gina Carano’s career much, her popularity may go down just a little bit, but that is ok. The Gina Carano VS Cyborg fight will serve as a humble reminder to Gina that despite her great looks and huge popularity, she still has a lot to train herself for. Both these fighting women are now at only 1 loss each, which is a ridiculously insane winning record. I bet that the next time these two women fight, the rematch will be furious and hopefully much more longer lasting.
Damn I was hoping the Gina Carano VS Cyborg would go on for 3 or 5 round as I knew every round would have been a hard, bloody, fierce fight every second, as we all saw in round 1. I still can’t believe it went down to the buzzard literally, but like a great sport Gina graciously admitted defeat and cheered her opponent on as Cris Cyborg was crowned the victor in this short but incredible fight. I think what the Gina Carano VS Cyborg fight shows is Cris was clearly more well trained. Given more time, Carano would have been able to train herself into a strength machine like Cris Cyborg was but nope, not enough time for Gina Carano. However, Gina Carano is not only a fighter, but she is also a gracious learner and she is no doubt right now going back to the locker room with her team and father who was present live to watch her daughter fight, and strategizing right now with everybody about what she did wrong, what she has to do to improve, and then take the necessary actions for a rematch of the Gina Carano VS Cyborg fight that we saw tonight (what an incredible fight).
