if womens MMA had enough competitors, gina could fight at her true weight which is between 145 and 150. because womens mma is so bare, gina can't be too picky with opponents and it's just a fact there's more fighters who weigh 135 than what gina weighs (150).

gina is doing womens MMA a favor by giving her opponents a pay day. without gina, they'd get paid shit. other female mixed martial artists should be happy gina fights... who cares what she weighs? as long as they get paid. when gina quits MMA to have a family or do whatever, womens MMA will take an enormous step back unless there is a replacement who will garner attention and publicity.

if you use the same old tired line about "cutting weight properly" and all the other bullshit, you're just lame. you have no idea of whats goin on. womens MMA is womens MMA... it's not MMA as in UFC.

What happens when she's 0.2 over? Or 0.3? 0.4? At some point you have to stop assuming she'll just make the weight and she has to prove that she's on.

Did she do Rosi Sexton a favor by coming in overweight to a fight that no one knew about at the time and many probably still haven't seen? This is reoccuring and like I said if they want womens mma to be taken seriously they have to start treating it as such. If they want Gina to be the poster girl that's fine just make a 140-145lb weight class and sign the fights at those weights. I'm pretty sure that the same opponents would be glad to sign the fight at a higher weight then getting it sprung on them at the last second.

She is hot!

[stevetherican]

Gina looked drained...

If she gets KO'd I'd die laughing. She needs to be more serious, I blame Kit Cope

youre right and they need to think of something

maybe they should make them go change into a different outfit and weigh their clothes separately
