    Poor Gina.

    I think she is fucked here.

    Santos is like a fucking machine. I don't even think Liddell could beat her, now.

    Is anyone sure of how Santos will fare with her back on the canvas? Carano's strategy should be straightforward here--take her down and eliminate her striking game.

    I'm interested to see if this fight will be contested at 150-lbs seeing as how both fighters have trouble making weight.

    Strikeforce is campaigning for the fight to be five five-minute rounds, which is what it should be. The three-minute rounds should be done away with. It isn't boxing--three minute rounds almost eliminates ground work altogether.

    I hope they do it at like 155 or something. No way these broads make 145.
