Gina Carano's ground game
« on: February 16, 2009, 12:16:02 AM »
what do you think about gina carano's ground game? i think that it was a suprising win when gina carano got the rear naked choke on tonya evinger for the submission when. Her ground and pound is devestating but i think her best is when she has a stand up battle.

yeah, i think shes more of a striker right now, but she is working on her B.J.J. so shes gonna be even more powerful!

She's always been a striker. But now she also has very good takedown defense and good BJJ defense. It's quite prototypical of a good striker that is adapting to MMA. She's got good enough wrestling and balance to be on top when it hits the ground and when she's on the bottom, she can get out of it without too many problems.

Her ground and pound is average and I think she still needs work on her BJJ offense. She could have finished off Kaitlin Young in that rear naked choke at the end of the round, but due to lack of technique, it took her too long to cinch it up. I notice she tries to go for a rubber guard alot when she ends up on the bottom and tries for the gogoplata unsuccessfully. I'd like to see her train with someone like Eddie Bravo that can teach her how to master that technique.

Yeah, i agree that she should work on her elbows more. I think Kenny Florian is also a good example of how to use elbows on the ground and in the clinch, especially for cutting up someone. Though i dont like to see fights stopped because of cuts, its a good tool to have in your arsenal.

I really liked his last fight against Jeremy stevens, but i never noticed Lauzon as having any crazy elbows. In fact he lost to Florian via strikes from elbows didnt he?

Yeah that was a nice sub by Joe.

No, I was referring to Florians elbows on Joe. My bad. KenFlo gave him that nasty cut on the top/back of his head.

I'm sure most of you have noticed how much well rounded Gina is becoming with each new fight. I love watching her "evolve".  ;D

yeah but personally i would rather like to see her standup then go on the ground because i dont think she is as aggresive on ground and she is standing.......she is relentless when she has a stand-up fight.

Yeah but you're not gonna like it if Cyborg gets on top of her and pounds her out. You can see that she still needs work on her ground defense in those 10 seconds where Kabold got a few good ones in before the bell rang. Who knows what would have happened in that fight if it were 5 minute rounds instead of 3.
