Interview: Bullett Magazine – Gina Carano: A Knockout Both In and Out of the Ring

Bullet Magazine’s interview with Gina Carano for the winter 2011 issue: The mixed martial arts champion is a literal knockout who wields her body like a weapon in the cage. Why, then, has Gina Carano stepped outside the ring for her acting debut, as a vengeful covert agent in Steven Soderbergh’s action-thriller Haywire (an explosive cross between La Femme Nikita and The Bourne Identity)? Two words: adrenaline rush. BULLETT: What convinced you to give acting a shot? GINA CARANO: When I was a little girl, I used to think, If somebody only knew what I was capable of. I didn’t even know what it was at the time, but when you dream big, you eventually attract big things. I don’t look “Hollywood,” and so I figured that if something were to come to me, it would probably come from a director asking me to be a part of their project. And that’s exactly what happened, which is really crazy. [Laughs.] You did all of your own stunts for Haywire. Do you think that forced your co-stars—Ewan McGregor, Michael Fassbender, and Channing Tatum—to consider you in a different light?… (credit: sstorm10)   CLICK BELOW TO CONTINUE…

Viacom buys Bellator, Will Start Airing on Spike TV in 2013

Viacom bought a majority stake in Bellator.  Bellator which is now the #2 MMA brand will soon have shows on the Viacom owned Spike TV in 2013. Spike TV’s current deal with the UFC gives them rights to televise taped UFC programming however they are not allowed to air any other MMA events in 2012. The UFC may not have realized that the danger of doing a deal with FOX was it opened the door for another MMA company to join with Spike TV.   The UFC however has been competing with all sorts of MMA brands throughout the years.  The UFC enjoys high Pay-Per-View buy rates which is what has make them profitable. Overall some healthy competition should be good for the MMA fighters and the fans.

Nick Diaz Booted From UFC 137

In what looks to be a historic move, the UFC has actually canceled the superfight of Nick Diaz vs St Pierre UFC 137 due to Diaz not making certain press conferences. The strange round of events have been unfolding today.  There was a rumor that Diaz was in a plane crash.  Later Diaz’s business manager made a post via twitter Twitter @JasonManly @EllenbergerMMA @kcbanditmma his plane crashed bro have some respect! He’s safe and back training though… This wasn’t true and later confirmed that it was meant to be a joke towards Jake Ellenberger and KCbantimma At the UFC 137 press conference, Dana announced that St. Pierre would be facing Carlos Condit and that Diaz may be released.  Dana White also questioned if Diaz would even show up to fight at UFC 137. I would have to assume that, yes, we’re probably going to let him go, but we’ll see what happens. St. Pierre was stunned by the news and thought that this was possibly an elaborate prank. Later today, Diaz fired back by posting a video on Youtube claiming that UFC was trying to block Diaz’s ambitions to move into boxing which is why he was offered the Pierre fight in the first place. UFC other big moves have been the recently signed Alistair Overeem and Cris “Cyborg” Santos resigned with Strikeforce late August. Update Sept 8th: Now its confirmed Diaz will fight BJ Penn at UFC 137 and Penn’s original opponent Carlos Condit, will still be fighting Pierre.  Sources:  Dana White Interview, Diaz Video Response Credit:  GGB
