Bloody Elbow, for MMA and UFC news

Not much to say about the ensuing scene except that it is f**king BRUTAL. Fassbender immediately clocks Carano in the back of the head, and they get into it. Hotel room is absolutely destroyed, Carano kicks him through a door, he throws her into a TV, they wind up grappling on the bed, she chokes him out with her legs. Absolutely crazy, brutal fight, no music, incredibly raw.

Strikeforce Press Conf at MSG: Strikeforce announced Wednesday that they will be holding a press conference at the WaMu Theatre inside New York City's Madison Square Garden on July 14 to hype the August 15 fight between Gina Carano and Cristiane Santos. The event is also open to the public.

Call me crazy, but I think that this is a historic moment for Strikeforce, mixed martial arts and, more specifically, women's MMA.

Think about it: did you ever think that a promotion not named the UFC would hold a press conference at MSG with the main participants being two female fighters? I sure didn't.

I took some time off, obviously, and went to Hawaii to try and clear my head and get away...Gina (Carano) went with me, and we just laid by the pool, just went out there to get away from everything. I came back, felt rejuvenated, and missed training.

I want to do this full-time...Randy still wants to coach me, he still wants to be in my corner. We’re still sticking together as far the sport goes.
