Why doesn't Gina just fight at 145lbs? A ton of reasons are going through my mind: fewer opponents available? Embarrassed to weigh that much? because she knows she is so much heavier pre-weigh in that she will have an edge? I know nothing about making weight but as a woman, my opinion is that she start a month out to cut the weight and stop eating all the goodies in the "green room" on the set of Gladiators. Since this is the second time she didn't make weight, and she is only giving up 12.5%, what will they do next time? Seems to me, whatever your passion in life, or in some cases bread and butter, you give it your all to excel and achieve the end result desired. Part of "your all" is sacrifice and commitment. Gina appears to be lacking in that department. This is probably a dumb question, but here goes… Why doesn’t Gina just fight at 145lbs?

Judging by the pictures, Gina is obviously fit, but looks as though she could spare the 3.5 pounds with little problem. It just seems like she doesn't care about conforming to the "rules" of mma, when she knows they will just be bent for her. Beating the dead horse some more…

She needs to respect the game or make that joke called the American Gladiator her only perfession.

My apologies. Carano DID NOT make weight. Apparently, the folks with Pro Elite knew ahead of time that she wasn't going to, but as I outlined in the article, she's giving up 12.5% of her purse because of it. Again, my apologies, enjoy the fights. To clarify the misprint on the results, I made the change quite a while ago, and for some reason, the publisher site we use didn’t make the changes.

The Nick Diaz Needs To Be Our Champ weight class didnt work out for them either. Elite XC needs to stop making classes for people.

Can't even make weight for a weight class specifically made for her. Shows a complete lack of respect for the sport and her opponent. What an embarrassment.
