Haywire's Gina Carano Tells Conan O'Brien How MMA Is Like Sex

Photo

Former Strikeforce women's 145lb champion Gina Carano was on Conan O'Brien last week to promote her new movie Haywire. Gina was a somewhat hesitant interview, telling O'Brien she'd "rather get punched in the face" than do an interview.

But she did open up when he reminded her of a previous statement she'd made comparing cage fighting to having sex. Here's the exchange:

Conan O'Brien:"I want to know why that's true, in great detail."

Gina Carano: "If you think about it, it's a very real interaction between two human beings, and it's like an energy. You have a real energy really, and I have an energy, an energy that nobody else is going to share."

Carano also told O'Brien that her original inspiration for getting into MMA happened when she was "sitting around drinking 40's with a boyfriend" and that at her first visit to a Muay Thai gym a Thai trainer walked up to her and said "oooh baby, you too chubby."

Full video after the jump.

fanpost about how they have all lost by RNC at one point in time. Overblown by the fact that Rumble and Melvin just both lost by RNC recently.

Hey

Can you please explain to me what ‘Blackzilians’ means? The one definition I could find is that a blackzilian is a black Brazilian. I’m guessing that’s not it, considering Melvin is seemingly referred to as a blackzilian.

Rashad's nickname for that camp, Imperial Athletics

They’re almost all black and brazilian dudes, hence the name.

This is, like, the second time I see her get uncomfortable and blurt sex references.

Gotta love a girl with a mind like that.

This is a statement she’s made multiple times in the past. In no way is it spur of the moment, or uncomfortable. She basically made you a mark. And the others posting here. :)

And succinct commentary on this clip.

I don’t believe her. She needs to do both with me and prove it.

I'm gonna give you three seconds; exactly three-fucking-seconds to wipe that stupid looking grin off your face or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fuck you!

by attgnp on Jan 21, 2012 2:44 PM EST reply actions  

Exactly. Do people still think anything said in these types of shows is thought up on the spot? Everything that is talked about is gone over before the show, and of course they are going to go about it as if it wasn’t. It’s called television. Plus this is something she’s said, basically word for word, multiple times in the past. I don’t even understand how this is “news”. Articles like this are what’s wrong with MMA media.

really?

articles about a prominent MMA star being interviewed on a massively popular nationally syndicated late night show?

I think it’s great for MMA media to report on things like this. Not like it isn’t important or anything…

what you mean the same way comedians, sports players and basically everyone else does

except tracy morgan tracy always taps into mars when he opens his mouth. his leno, conan, and craig interviews were all different
