Cris Cyborg insults steroid scandal sympathizer and admirer Gina Carano

In the wake of  former Strikeforce 145lb. women’s champion, Cristiane ‘Cyborg’ Santos, testing positive for steroid usage, MMA luminary and previous opponent Gina Carano, has magnanimously responded with: sympathy, compliments, benefit of doubt and well-wishes. While the scandal “stung” Carano (who “could’ve gone her whole life without knowing that news“) she responded with the following:

-”…that could just be somebody around her giving her bad advice.”
-”…She’s definitely a physical specimen who doesn’t need any performance enhancements, and still be as just as great as she is, maybe even better.”
-”…She’s gonna have to deal with alot…as far as earning back people’s trust…She’s suspended for a year and the title is stripped from her; that’s enough punishment.”
-”I sympathize with her, and feel bad for her. She’s not a bad person…she’ll allow this experience to make her a better person.”
-”She’s so sweet. I loved going to the Espy’s (award show with Cyborg also present)…I don’t have a mean thing to say about her. Her and her husband are darling people.” (source: No Holds Barred Radio with Eddie Goldman, Inside MMA with Bas Rutten)

While many in the mma community have expressed zero surprise that Santos was caught, one has been particularly contentious – Strikeforce 135lb #1 contender and  Olympic Judo medalist, Ronda Rousey. In response to Rousey’s public chastisement, Cris Cyborg posted the following heavily edited picture of a just defeated Gina Carano, along with a challenge to fight upon her suspension return.

Ronda Rousey is one of the many fighters that have recognized Carano’s ability and big contribution to the Sport. While she has had minimal contact with Carano, she answered Santos with the following Twitter response:

One has to wonder if Cris Cyborg has any fans left as both her career accomplishments and character have undeniably been exposed.

Soderbergh on Gina’s voice alternation work

In an interview for Vulture magazine, director Steven Soderbergh clarified on what went into altering Gina’s voice in Haywire:

That’s not really her speaking voice. We spent a lot of time in post working really hard on her voice, and we used every trick imaginable that’s used on records today — in the editing, in the pitch. We combined five different readings in one sentence. We wanted her to sound different — not like Gina, but like her character, Mallory Kane. So that took a lot of work, and we worked really hard on it. That was the point of it. Everyone under the age of 30 is terrified of Gina, but Mallory is someone new.

This perhaps extinguishes the rumors that her voice was replaced with that of another voice actress.
