Lovely ladies of MMA (pic)

July 31, 2008 by Matt Cava  


This picture was taken after the CBS/EXC event “Unfinished Business” in Stockton, CA.

At least six of these beauties are professional MMA fighters. Can you name them?

There’s no prize if you get it right, just revel in the fact that you’re an MMA hardcore.

  14. steak_knife on July 31st, 2008 7:07 pm

    I wish I was there. I would’ve grabbed Gina’s boobs in front of all of them. POWER MOVE.

  15. steak_knife on July 31st, 2008 7:08 pm

    Why wasn’t Cyborg invited?

  16. spike1244 on July 31st, 2008 7:13 pm

    the best fighter in there is Tara LaRosa

  17. paddiosf on July 31st, 2008 7:28 pm

    Yeah Where is Ms. Cyborg?

  18. Nolan on July 31st, 2008 7:30 pm

    God I hate sounding like a feminist, but some of you guys disgust me.

  19. Bruce on July 31st, 2008 8:08 pm

    Why wasn’t Cyborg invited?–Maybe cuz she doesn’t speak English

  20. charles on July 31st, 2008 8:40 pm

    ” I would say the hottie to the left but her arm is looking abnormally large”

    I didn’t notice it at first but you are correct.I don’t know if she is one of the fighters but if she does she has a good reach on all of them!

  21. Esther Lin on July 31st, 2008 9:18 pm

    Hey, this is Esther, the photographer.

    Cris Cyborg was invited but when I snapped this she happened not to be around, however I did see her later at the Boiler Room, http://www.combatlifestyle.com/pics/view_image.php?id=42537

    I just want to thank EliteXC for throwing this dinner party, it was a nice touch to a good night of fights.

    Just to add one more name, Malissa Sherwood (I think it is spelled Melissa on Sherdog) is also a fighter. She is between Tonya and Shayna in the picture.

  22. Rich S. on July 31st, 2008 10:06 pm

    hey, aren’t a few of them from that female muay thai show they had on Oxygen??

    i can’t remember the name..

  23. ShdwPrwler on July 31st, 2008 10:17 pm

    Actually, 7 of them are fighters or have had at least 1 MMA fight…..they are (from L to R) Miesha Tate, Tonya Evinger, Malissa Sherwood, Shayna Baszler, Tara LaRosa, Gina Carano and Grace Magnuseen. The only 1 that is not a fighter is the brown haired girl beside Tara.

  24. Grouphome on July 31st, 2008 10:28 pm

    I see six. The blonde girl right behind the left shoulder of Tonya Evinger is Melissa Sherwood who trains with Tonya and is also a fighter.

  25. Ryan on July 31st, 2008 10:45 pm

    yeah that one girl is rippin ass

  26. doubleA-ron on August 1st, 2008 1:42 am

    cyborg wasn’t invited cause shes a dude. just kidding! just because she fights like one doesn’t mean she is one. my bad!

  27. natureboy on August 1st, 2008 2:14 am

    Man, I hope Cyborg doesn’t fuck Gina up. My hope is that Gina gets all “BJ Penn” and gets re-dedicated to the game. She’s got skillz. Plus a wonderful low center of gravity.

  28. steak_knife on August 1st, 2008 1:31 pm

    I agree. But I think Gina’s stand-up is the strongest in the women’s game. I could see her knocking the Cyborg out. She just needs to re-dedicate herself and lay off the pizza, spaghetti, and lasangna (I’ve read that italian food is her weakness).

  29. tonya on August 20th, 2008 11:13 pm

    shdwprwr is the only one right. all the girls fight except the brown haired girl no the right, that is just one of gina’s friends.
