Fighter Bio

Gina Carano looks like the kind of girl you’d totally want to hit on in a bar… except, if you did, you’d probably find yourself knocked on your ass faster than you could say, “What’s your sign.” This Las Vegas native has been kicking faces and taking names since taking up muay thai kickboxing over three years ago. Before switching over to the mixed martial arts discipline seven months ago, she compiled a 12-1-1 record as a kickboxer, and may have chopped down a few trees with just her shins, although we’re waiting for confirmation on that.

Since moving into mixed martial arts, Carano has compiled an undefeated 4-0 record, establishing herself as one of the brightest stars in EliteXC fighting. Under the tutelage of Master Toddy, she has developed from a Muay Thai specialist into an all-around martial artist and finely trained athlete. She’s also translated her success in the ring into success out of it, starring in the film Ring Girls and overseeing the ass-kicking on the Oxygen network reality show Fight Girls.
