Saturday night could be one of the biggest night's in the history of MMA...Yet most of the casual MMA fan has no idea what the bout is or that this bout by it self could help the world of MMA in to the mainstream world. With the world of mixed marital arts evolving into what could big huge in the world of sports they are closer now then ever into breaking in with the mainstream audiences with the UFC reaching a deal to show fights on ESPN in other country's..This fight could put MMA on the Map or at least help it take a big step! And you still don't know what the bout is?
It is this Saturdays Strikeforce Carano vs Cyborg For the Strikeforce Women's Championship...It is the first ever MMA event headlined by a female main event now to the casual fan some first reaction may be women fighting? But this bout has potential to be the best fight of the year yes you heard me right best fight of the year!..It will be on televised on Showtime and this one fight could help get MMA on the road to mainstream.
Gina Carano for years has been the face of women's MMA when she enters the cage and the ring announcer announces her name "The face of women's MMA Gina Conviction Carano" Carano is already the first women to fight on a televised MMA event back in ElitleXC, but this is a whole need stage and a much tougher opponent Carano could have the most pressure of carrying a sport on her back then any other female athlete in any sport if Carano was not in the sport the sport of women's MMA may not be around. Now with all the said she faces her hardest test Saturday and carrying all the pressure of a organization on her back but this does not seem to faze her a bit in every interview she is calm and laughing and saying things like.....
“I don’t have to be there for the sport to be successful,I’m doing the best with this opportunity to represent the sport. I’m doing everything I can do. But the sport is awesome. It’ll make it by itself. They don’t need me for it to be successful. I’m being given the chance right now for a period of time and there will be another person with the chance next.”
Now the test for Carano will be Christiane “Cyborg” Santos a vicious Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu fighter who holds a record of 7-1 she is by far the toughest test Carano has faced.Now Carano's biggest weakness is her ground game which even tho Cyborg is a better fighter on her feet she is not a bigger striker Carano. Therefore look for Cyborg to take it to the ground and try to work there where Carano is weak now Carano has been training at XtreamCouture to help work on her ground game and take down defense
Now this fight on Saturday figures to be a Fight of the Year type of bout in which each woman will stand and throw power shots at the other, But also look for a very technical battle as Gina Carano said.... “I think Cyborg said it best,” Carano said. “It’s going to be who makes the least amount of mistakes [who wins]. We both have things going for us. We’re about the same size. She’s got bigger muscles, but I’m pretty strong"
Now all we can do is watch and enjoy this bout and watch it live up to the hype no matter what happens Carano and her contributions to the MMA world and especially the world of women's MMA will go beyond one bout. This is a win win bout for the world of MMA and surely the world of women's MMA
