Ronda Rousey and other female mma luminaries credit and accredit Gina Carano, the person & fighter
Here are some fighter quotes on Gina Carano to serve as a reminder of just what brought her to her present fame. These peer reviews dispel the ignorance & cynicism of mma media outlets boasting the prominence of other fighters by writing sensationalized Carano-contrasted articles. For the rest of you who:
- - know the dynamics of mma (esp. female mma) matchmaking
- - were actually around to read the headlines of Carano’s show stealing fights (not just the taglines on her looks)
- - realize that while someone with minimum, technical victories over descript fighters can be dubbed “talented”, defeating opponents who have much more experience & at their contrasting style (grappling) in exciting fashion, is something more
- - are aware that records showed that Carano’s opponents were of the best starting set of 7 opponents a fighter could have. She met the criteria that a new fighter with unusually high media coverage must face tougher competition than she would have otherwise had on the traditional experience building scene. Her resume isn’t exactly filled with: ’1 & done’ fighters, debuters, non-descript individuals, and competitors with losing records.
…have what you already know unequivocally validated by the following quotes:
Ronda Rousey: “I owe a lot to her. I never would have thought that women’s mixed martial arts would have offered a career to me if it wasn’t for her. She’s still doing a lot for us. She went and made a multimillion-dollar movie, and a lot of people that have never watched women’s MMA in their entire lives are going to see this movie and be aware of it because of her. Whether she fights or not again is kind of irrelevant. I would like for her to fight again. I would love to fight her myself. I think that would be a huge match, especially after she’s already become a movie star. It would get a lot of attention, but I feel like people should lay off of her. She’s done a lot. If she wants to come back, fine. But I quit judo because I didn’t have a passion for it anymore. I didn’t have that drive to do it anymore, and if she doesn’t want to do [MMA] anymore, then I understand. I probably understand more than anybody else. I wish she would come back, but that’s her decision.” (sherdog.com)

Haywire NY screening: Gina Carano pics and quotes
Gina Carano: “I’ve dealt with men larger than me, smaller than me, I’ve been hit where I can’t catch up with my head, and I’ve been hit not so hard. It’s all about the chemistry with the person. There were no egos involved, it was all about creating the best fight scene that we could. It was ok to get hurt. With the stunt guys also, they were used to actresses. I actually had to tell that one stunt guy, ‘No, you put me into that wall as hard as you can.’ And he put me into it so hard I actually went white for a second. But I actually enjoyed that. Is that weird? …Fighting is the most honest form of communication you can get. [Michael]Fassbender just became a mentor to me, he was so supportive. And he was so down to just bang into everything we could, vases, everything. He always was like ‘We need to slam our head into that wall a little harder.“credit: Lara

”Meet Miss Haywire. This high-tension action thriller — stars Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, Michael Fassbender, Channing Tatum and was directed by Steven Soderbergh. Yet all anyone wants to talk about is the film’s lone female: Gina Carano.”
Ewan McGregor: (on Carano)That girl is a star, just you wait and see…The movie is amazing, but at the end of the day, who doesn’t like to watch a girl kicking some ass?”

Haywire trailer 2 & co-star Michael Fassbender on the fightscene
Fassbender: “I remember it clearly…’She is supposed to pick up a vase and it breaks away, and the stunt guy said, ‘She’s going to grab it and hit you on the side of the head. But the one thing that’s important as she swings toward your head is you don’t look at her. You turn your head away and take the hit.’ I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it.’ Of course, Gina picked up the vase and I looked right at it. It was like a camera bulb had gone off…He(his character) makes his first maneuver on her at the door, and it should be a quick kill but it all goes wrong. And then it’s a matter of finding anything, something hard or that has a sharp edge. It’s an anything goes type thing. These fights are messy. Yeah, it was fun. A few bruises though…I suppose the life [these spies] are leading seems to be an exciting one, so there are elements of sex and death. (referring to the triangle choke) I mean, I just put my head where they tell me to.“

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.
← Older posts Newer posts →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?…
