    Who takes it?

    An actual woman's fight as the main event AND they both made weight.

    I'm thinking Cyborg may take it but am not underestimating Carano. Thoughts?

    I would love for Carano to take it, but Cyborg is outstanding. It'll be a good fight whatever the outcome, and a great win for women in MMA and the MMA world in general.

    My only worry is that currently this is the only big fight in female MMA. It would have been nice if they'd built up a few more fighters before hand to keep the general publics interest going in womens' MMA after this fight. That's not to suggest there aren't any other good fighters, its just the media is very focused on these two right now.

    I'll be cheering for Gina, but wouldn't be overly suprised to see Cyborg wearing the belt.

    I expect Cyborg to crowd Carano and bury her in a flurry of punches and knees, but many pundits on Sherdog predict that Carano will use her footwork and out-technique Cyborg.

    There's lots of other good bouts on the card, too. Jay Hieron vs. Jesse Taylor isn't too bad, although it was thrown together at the last minute. Damn Nick Diaz and his drug habit! Looking forward to seeing if Gregard Mousasi can continue to post impressive wins; I expect him to KO Babalu Sobral, who tends to throw hands with people he shouldn't. But we'll see. I think Babalu weighed in at 201 for this fight... Then there's Ishida vs. Gilber Melendez. They're both good wrestlers, so this might come down to who's got better striking, which I think is Melendez.

    I see Carano as much more of the heavy hitter, so if she can put all her combos together, then I'm hoping she can squeek this one out!!! I'm pulling for Carano :)

    That fight was terrible. Looked like amateur MMA.

    On the other hand.

    BABALU NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    No it didn't at all. It was actually a good fight.

    Well Cyborg took it as I thought she would. Carano just didn't have enough strength. She covered up well but got taken down a few times and didn't look like a threat at any point. It was good to watch, even with the "Ooooh did he stop it after or on the bell" moments. Good to see a women's fight getting top billing.

    I think it's kinda lame how she gassed SO quickly. C'mon now, that is faster than BJ Penn or Alistair Overeem gassing.

    Who Carano? Yes she did, but Cyborg is much stronger and has a crazy training regime. That didn't make the fight look amateur though.

    Carano gave up mount twice! TWICE!!! I mean . . . why?!?!/ I blame this on Randy Couture, everybody who trains under him has been losing (BADLY!) lately. I hope Nogueria chokes the life out of Couture (sorry I just don't like Randy).

    Mushroom De-powered to come back better than before.

    Yup, called it on your fb Su, Cyborg is just too big and strong for Carano. Didnt think it wouldve been 1st round though. Right on the buzzer.
    Thing is, Cyborg in at least 2 occassions were digging her fingers to Carano's face/eyes. No one mentioned it tho.

    Cyborg did 2 horrible takedowns which made Carano get into a mount, then gave it up?

    Carano never fails to disappoint.

    I had to support Carano because I always root for the hot chick. Even if she is a megomaniacal mass murdering psychopath.

    Hi Su!!!!! We need to reenact this Carano vs. Cyborg thing without the facial damage.

    Oh and Inf...way to denigrate women's MMA into a chick-watching fest.
