Gina Carano - Blast from the Past - MMA Women

Still one of the most popular female MMA fighters in the world is Gina Carano.
Although she hasn't fought since 2009, this five foot eight, 143 pound beauty from Dallas, Texas still has a lot of fans.
I have to admit, she was the person that got me to pay attention to female MMA, and MMA in general.

Female MMA - Gina Carano vs Ronda Rousey?

Gina Carano vs Ronda Rousey?

While we know that Dana White would kill himself to do anything to make his "girlfriend" look better in the cage, this is ridiculous.
Or silly as Randy Couture put it.

Gina hasn't fought in over five years, after that crushing defeat by Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino.
To put her back in the ring and right in there with Ronda would be stupid.
And it would be a very hollow victory when she won.
Even though I'm sure Dana would tout it as the greatest win ever.

Maybe they need to put that fight on the back burner and focus on women like Amanda Nunes and Cat Zingano.
Ladies that are still actually fighting in the UFC.
