That's one I've wanted to see, but I'll be on my Asiana flight back to Korea - otherwise I'd check out all the Korean sports channels (except SuperAction which carries UFC...) and try to view it on the Internet (which seems to be getting more difficult for big shows as promoters put more effort into shutting down streaming.

Now if only Carano's clothes would fall off during a fight or weigh ins.

I felt really bad for Carano, she got straight up schooled. I guess it was bound to happen since this is the first time where her opponent is bigger and stronger.

cyborg walked through her punches and hit Gina with harder strikes. Thats gotta be both demoralizing and scary

Not for Gina. She'll take the loss, learn from what she didn't do correctly in the fight (or what she did do correctly but Cyborg shrugged off), and train for the re-match.

If she loses the re-match is the same one-sided way, THAT will be demoralizing.

Carano reversed two of cyborgs takedowns (they were poor takedowns, for sure) and made a good attempt of getting cyborg's back while she had her in her half guard. She was dong ok in standup for the first part of the round, but midway through she seemed disoriented. which is a little suprising for an ex mui thai champion. I wasn't expecting her to put up much of a fight at all, but she did well for a while. They are pretty much the same size, Cyborg is just the better fighter.
