God damn...
Kaitlin is a beast. I’m pulling for her for so many reasons. 1) I put a BIG bet down on her. 2) She is a wonderful personality. 3) She is a wonderful fighter. 4) SHE TAKES BEING A FIGHTER SERIOUSLY…

One thing I have to point out...
Is that if I hear any guy calling Gina fat because she didn’t make 140 I am going to want to punch them in the brain. Lazy for seemingly not even attempting the cut…sure. Unprofessiona? ABSOLUTELY. But she is hardly “fat.”

Calling her fat is just a lazy way of calling her lazy. I mean who wants to break out that extra syllable?

Off Topic
Do you guys moderate the comment threads much? If not, I’m seriously impressed with the level of discussion here.
Nope...
I’ve only ever deleted spam. I don’t think the other guys do much by way of moderation either.

Must just be the high quality of the articles that keeps away the trolls.

Nah,
It the fact that you have to log in – that cuts back on 99% of the idiots.

fixed it for you!!
This is what a hot, female fighter looks like when they take weigh-ins and fights seriously. Atta girl.
Damn, she looks good!
Could be an interesting fight.

Kaitlin Young Interview
I put this in the other thread too, but what the hell:
http://mmarated.com/users/video/163/516.html;jsessionid=22AB115FD430A254C67F8A2E32BB0F8D
Great insight. Great interview. Thanks. I would still like to know if you get a pound for catch weight fights or not. I don’t think she even knows. It is stupid that its even an issue, it catch weight for god sake. You should contract the fight at a weight that you can make. Any weight.
I was rooting for Young anyway, but...
... the whole weigh in fiasco’s just made me root for her that much harder. The discrepancy doesn’t seem too bad, hopefully Young’s training and preparedness can counter it.
wow
I’m surprised to see that the odds lines haven’t moved more into Kaitlyn’s favor especially after the weigh in debacle and Carano only training for like a month for the fight.
Not that she looks fat but Carano doesn’t look depleted at all. I wonder if she even cares about fighting anymore. I read somewhere that she was forced to take the fight if she wanted to do a second season of American Gladiators.
Go Young.
I know this is off-topic, but given that Carano is known for being the physically attractive female fighter, am I the only guy here who thinks Young is better looking? I’ve never really understood the fuss about Carano’s looks.

And... no.
Side by side, Gina’s face is much nicer. And when she’s actually in shape, the body too. :-)
After the fight, Gina looked WAY better unless you have a thing for bruises and swelling.
