I’ve written a few times about Elite EC Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter Gina Carano, one of the best female fighters in the country.
Needless to say, when I read that Carano’s future is in limbo because her company, Elite XC, is filing for bankruptcy, I was a bit disappointed.
From Pretty Tough:
“The fighting future of top MMA draw Gina Carano is in limbo as word emerged today that the mixed-martial-arts organization Elite XC will file bankruptcy and cease future operations, according to parent company, Pro Elite Inc.
Elite XC, which produced seven of the 10 most-watched MMA matches in U.S. history on two CBS specials in recent months, will be closing its doors at the end of the week. This leaves a roster of fighters, including Carano, looking for work.”
That’s really a shame.
Check out this cool YouTube video from 2007 filmed by Showtime which will give you a good idea of what she’s like:

Maybe she’ll get picked up by the XFC. It’d be crazy for her career in MMA to end now!

Yeah, it will be interesting to see what organization Gina Carano will be fighting in. Unfortunately, the UFC is not considering women fights. So it might be tough for her.
no I do not want her to stop fighting. because i will cry . pluse I will have nothing to look forward o because I get excited for her fights.
