Shayna Baszler: Gina Carano Gets Special Treatment
 Date submitted: 11 June 2008
Author: Mick Bower
Gina Carano is the poster girl of female MMA - but she is not popular with everyone. Top fighter Shayna Baszler has spoken out about Carano’s inability to make weight for fights.
Baszler told FightHype.com:
"I mean, you come in overweight for a fight… okay… two fights, it's getting serious, but she's never made weight for a fight ever! For people to say, "She's fighting out of her weight class," well, when she tried to fight at 135, she made 139 and when she tried to fight at 140, she made 144.5 so I don't think it has anything to do with her fighting out of her weight class."
"The issue is that she is, whether she asked to be or not. She is the face. She is the one everyone recognizes. She's on TV and she's the one they're pushing and with that comes a professional responsibility to make weight. If it was anybody else, I mean, 6 fights in a row she didn't make weight; come on!"
Baszler is keen to meet Carano in the cage and feels that it is inevitable that the fight will eventually happen:
"I want that fight and like I said, they can't keep protecting her. If I just do my job, people are going to ask for it and win or lose, she's going to know what fighting a top level female is really like.” |
