Professional MMA Fighters Predict a Winner for Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg

The responses run the gamut from the political:

Brodie Farber: I have absolutely no interest in watching women fight. I’ll be sure to tune into a different channel during that time.

To the reasonable:

Randy Couture: I believe Gina Carano will take this fight over by the third round, using solid footwork and punching combinations to frustrate Cyborg and wear her down. I’m sure I’m a little biased, but she looks great and has had a very good camp. It should be a monumental fight for women’s MMA.

Ricardo Liborio: Carano by decision.

Jake Shields: I see it being a very close fight, with Gina being more technical and Cyborg being the stronger of the two, but I see conditioning being the deciding factor. With this being their first title fight and jumping from three- to five-minute rounds, it is gonna be a big change for both. But with Gina having a more experienced camp, I will pick her because they should be aware of this and have spent adequate time conditioning her.

To the sexually charged:

Charlie Valencia: Carano wins by decision. How can you hit that beautiful face?

Chael Sonnen: Cyborg? I thought he was a middleweight.
