Cyborg...please don't ruin this face.

As reported on MMAWEEKLY.COM (Excerpts):

Carano maintains a solution will be reached that will put her back in action in the near future.

“I just had to weigh some options,” she explained. “I’m making these decisions, so nobody else is going to make these decisions for me. I have to make them, and so we’re going to get something figured out and I’ll be fighting.

“I pray about it and see what would be a good move for my career, and I just know that no matter what, any fight from here is going to be a big fight, and a tough one. Maybe it’s the calm before the storm.”

The current storm on the horizon is Christian “Cyborg” Santos. The fearsome striker made her wish to fight Carano known again at Strikeforce’s press conference announcing the upcoming “Shamrock vs. Diaz.” Santos is scheduled for the April 11 card against submission specialist Hitomi Akano, and a win could position her for a summer showdown with Carano.

“It’s gonna happen,” said Carano of the much-anticipated fight. “Actually, the only person I can think about right now. My focus is on her, and I don’t really want to fight anybody else but her. Let’s do it.

I'm really not crazy about the ladies fighting...sorry it just doesn't do it for me. Having said that, I am not against others enjoying it if that is what they like. So my plea to Christian "Cyborg" Santos (maybe the scariest women I have ever seen on TV) is...please....please do not mess up Ginas face.

One of the great things about this sport is that there are several different ways to win...many of them have nothing to do with punching or kicking someone in the face. Slap a leg lock, arm bar or choke on her...give her a liver shot that buckles her...anything but don't bust up her kisser.

I know that it's not a rational request but it's a request nonetheless. She is the hot girl that fights and that's cool...what would not be cool is to be the "once hot" girl who fights who now has a sideways nose. Maybe this is why I don't like the chicks fighting.

I mean, when a guys face gets destroyed (Rich Franklin etc...) no one cares...Guys faces were meant to be destroyed. But the face if Gina Carano...not meant to to be busted up. She is the face of ladies MMA...BECAUSE she is hot and she is good. However, without the hot she may not only be poster girl for the sport but she may also become a constant reminder of how brutal the sport can be and the damage that it can cause.

Brutal damage on a guy is a badge of honor, brutal damage on a girl is disturbing.
