Carano Future; Follow The Formula To Success(American Thinking)

Ok, so Carano got beat down by Cyborg. I and many others are not surprised.
Carano had and still does have a lot of hype. Now is the time to make some moves. 
The goal is to get a career in acting. She has to stop fighting soon. One more fight
that she can win and maybe a re-match against Cyborg and thats it. It is very important that she not get her nose
broken or endure any facial damage that cannot be easily repaired by plastic surgery. She may not even need
to fight again. Next step is to do something that will really get the blood flowing to the male
audience penis. 
Rumors of a sex tape won't do it. An actual sex tape has to be released
or some kind of Playboy spread. After that it is time for a reality show of basic design. Something
that plays the fight angle or some kind of dating theme. Follow this with a super sexy
commercial during the Super Bowl and then a supporting role in a major motion picture.
Carano money train leaves the station in approx. 3 - 4 years.

would you ever say this about a male fighter?
Does Forrest Griffin need a sex tape after his last loss?
"All I guarantee is Violence" - Wand
probably both
"All I guarantee is Violence" - Wand
apples and oranges.
Forrest wants to be a fighter. The premise of this post is that Gina’s end game is not fighting, it’s acting and moving into the hollywood world.
who decided that?
it seems carano wants to fight, as she keeps fighting at pretty much the highest level there is
"All I guarantee is Violence" - Wand
Our first clue was The American Gladiator thing. She already came in through the TV entertainment door. Watch last night’s fight again and you will see Carano desperately trying to cover her face from damage. Make no mistake. Carano has a management team that smells $$$.
"Stop smiling you are about to be punched in the face !"
That is not the point. When I first read the post, I was just thinking it was kind of despicable to make those statements. However, Warhand is on in making a point, that this has become the easy and all to common route to becoming (in)famous in our society and furthering/resurrecting a career.
Reality shows and sex tapes/nude pics is the easy route in a voyeuristic world.

Check it out!!
Is it sad though?
That this formula will actually work in making Carano and team tons of money and launching her into the celebrity spot light for a long time to come.
"Stop smiling you are about to be punched in the face !"
There could certainly be an interesting article written about whether Carano actually wants to continue in the fight game, or whether she would rather achieve fame in other ways. Such an article could make comparisons both to female athletes who became known more for their attractiveness than their sporting talent and to other mixed martial artists who transitioned to the pure entertainment industry.
This post does neither: it blankly assumes that Carano doesn’t care for fighting, and then further assumes that she should do pornography if she wants to really have a career.
In my opinion this post fails on every level and is demeaning to a host of parties including Gina Carano, female athletes and male sports fans. I would have added the internet mixed martial arts fan community, but the sad fact is that this is rather par for the course.
It ends in an armbar or a strangle regardless.
And, if I missed some sort of big satirical point—as hinted at in the comments above that I didn’t fully read before my post—I only wish I had flagged it as “troll” instead of “inappropriate.”
If you’ve got a clever point to make, you’ve got to make it better than that, because some asshole like me will come through and not get the point at all…

Yeah, real satire is better written…this Fanpost just looks like you’re being a dick.

Well, if laying out a formula for Carano that will launch her into super celebrity stardom and net her truckloads upon truckloads of cash without subjecting her to the dangers and inherent consequences of a professional MMA career makes me sound like a dick then I guess I am a dick.
"Stop smiling you are about to be punched in the face !"
This hypothetical exercise is mislabeled as far as I’m concerned. I say that because it’s not exclusively American to use looks and digital media as a launching point for a career (and I use the term loosely) as a pop culture figure.
I think there’s a presumption embedded that she would want to quit fighting, and I haven’t picked up on that inclination at all. I don’t know what Gina plans for the future, but she’s fought and shown that she has skills as a fighter. Certainly, she’s leveraged her looks to her benefit, but I don’t see it as particularly constructive to speculate on whether or not she’s done after one loss since I don’t see any new information that would lead me to believe she’s leaning one way or the other.

May I volunteer to star in the video with her?
I’m willing to do whatever it takes to help Gina get her career back on track.
Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.

Gina
isn’t hot enough to be an a-list Hollywood actor. She’s too thicky thick to make it in that realm; her best shot is to keep fighting, and if she can mount a comeback and snatch a title, then maybe she can use the whole fighting angle to gain fame and fortune.
But i’d watch the hell out of a Carano sex tape
Supporting all Las Vegas MMA. Xtreme Couture FTMFW.
'09 is the year of the FW's.
thicky thick ftw.
I'm like PacMan fightin you silly kids... throw ya Hatton the ring, and get knocked outlike Ricky did.
lol.
Or even Chun Li
Wouldn’t be the first time a Caucasian played and Asian and unlike the girl from Smallville, Gina has something approaching the thick thighs of “the World’s Strongest Woman” Would it kill somebody to make a balls to the walls action flick that just happens to star my favorite video game characters?
