I honestly completely forgot that I had showtime and only caught the last match. I think showtime is going to run into problems if they have headline fights like this. I think the fight exemplified what Dana White said about having a female division, there being a lack of talent. Santos won, attempted a farside kimura, had a few throws, but for what strikeforce announcers said was a woman with 5 years BJJ experience she looked like she was pulling guard twice, but wound up with Carano in the full mount. Carano stood up from full mount as well.

dope thanks. Wow well Gina got beat. She didnt do as good as I thought she did from the description. The first take down she only ended up in full mount because Cyborg pulled her down with Gina on top. Same with the second one too I think. It woudnt reload for me so not 100%. I hate watching on ****y resolution so I cant see why she was fighting so ****y. Did she get ****ed up early in the fight from some shots or something? She kept basically falling down. Shes good at the offensive but not the D. You bet she gona start lifting some weights and getting some muscle on her now. Def prob going to be a rematch. Stoppage on the bell sucks, how long are they supposed to wait when someone isnt defending themselves before calling a stoppage? 8 seconds or something? or when obvisouly out of it of course.

It looked like cyborg was pulling guard, it should've looked something like this

YouTube - Beginning Jiu Jitsu Moves : Pulling the Guard Position in Jiu Jitsu and at best you do something like YouTube - Minotauro Guard Pull

I haven't seen any other of her fights so i'm assuming she was going for that because shes a BJJ fighter, or shes just really poor with takedowns. Especially to use such a high takedown on someone that trains with Randy Couture.

When they stop the bell depends, its based on when someone can't intelligently defend themselves. Turtling up like that usually is taken as a sign of not being able to do so, especially when someone else can pass into full mount so easily.
