And of course there are several other great female fighters that you can throw in there to bring in viewers. I dont care what these other guys say, men like seeing two girls go at it, and when they are skilled as Gina and the other top female fighters it is well worth my dollar to watch.

Along with everything already said, the pick also pretty much guarantees Adam an entire division. Yes it may not be the most popular at this time, but I have to think no one else will draft a female MMA star because I think you would have trouble establishing a strong female division without a marketable star to fortify it. Thus Adam doesn't have to draft anymore females and can pick up free agent females here and there without the other 6 organizations goingafter them. People bring up WNBA, but somebody still watches the league and buys it's product. Adam basically owns an entire division now and that fan base (no matter how small it is) of female MMA fans, without sacrificing much.

Great pick though in Carwin. I think he will give other HW's a run for there money and maybe even be champ in a year or two.

He has three of EliteXC's biggest names -- Slice, Shields and Carano -- but instead of Drew Fickett and Giant F'ing Silva to throw at them, he's got GSP and Ben Rothwell. Honestly, as immature the watching public can be when it comes to female MMA, as long she looks good in a sports bra it really doesn't matter who you put in front of Carano. If "realistic" is a word that can be used for this fantasy draft without the universe imploding, a case could be made that Morgan has the most viable roster because, you know, it already works in real life. In closing, my promotion would still totally teabag Morgan's lame-o roster.

In fact, if those were your criteria, she could have gone several rounds earlier. For the exposure you get with her I say getting her in round 14 is a steal.

It's kind of like the WNBA and the LPGA. No one cares! Ha! Seriously, Gina Carano is the wrong choice anyway, she doesn't seem nearly as focused as a lot of the other girls out there.

Morgans group is the definition of one dimensional and I still think you have to be kidding me with Slice/Rothwell as a HW marquee match. A one off, maybe, but then you have Big Ben with no one to fight (after he wins), and a discredited shell in Kimbo (who you took SECOND).

Is he building up a stable of ring girls? That pick baffles me even with the explanation. Huck and Cava are on the right track methinks. Why did Morgan waste his pick on Gina?
