“In my head, I’m like, I train and work out like everyone else. They like to tell you what you’re not. They like to keep you down, so they can get more out of you for their money. But fans don’t lie. When they’re all chanting your name, you know they’re supporting you.” – Gina Carano

Professional MMA fighter Gina Carano tried the whole American Gladiators thing but realized kicking ass inside the octagon was her true passion. At 5′8″ and toting a 38 bust, Gina Carano will kick your ass in the ring and then go home and kick some other lucky dude’s ass in the bedroom.

Here’s to Gina.

Gina Carano, MMA fighter and ex American Gladiator has been busy inside the ring but has also made time for a recent Maxim photoshoot.

Check out the gallery below and then head on over to Maxim for more Carano. She’s the face (and body) of women’s MMA and you won’t want to miss her.

To most MMA fans, Rachelle Leah is known as the leggy octagon girl who carries a sign around the cage wearing nothing but a bikini. And to be fair, that’s all that some women strive to be and some men strive to be with.

But Leah, who will return to her position as MMA Eye Candy at UFC 90 on Oct. 25 at the Rosemont Horizon in Rosemont, Ill, claims to be a lot more than just another perfect body.

Sure, she’s Playboy’s November cover girl, which hits mailboxes on Friday. She was the UFC’s most popular octagon girl, and she just signed a deal as a spokesmodel with Anheuser-Busch, but just because she looks the part and plays the role, doesn’t mean shes as stupid as she is hot, at least according to Kevin Iole of Yahoo! Sports who writes:

“She is brash and thoughtful and introspective and witty and plenty crafty. She uses her share of coarse language, her conversation invariably turns to sports and, most significantly, guys, she loves – absolutely loves – mixed martial arts.”

“Spend a half-hour talking with the Las Vegas resident and it’s no different than talking to your buddies about MMA, except you realize you’re speaking with one of the world’s most beautiful women.”

In all reality, Rachelle Leah is someone I will likely never meet, so why would I care if she can carry a heated MMA discussion or not?

What I care about more is figuring out what time the mail gets delivered on Fridays…

“Thin and Intellectual Brook” as father Hulk Hogan affectionately called his daughter while oiling her petite body down at a Las Vegas swimming pool a few months back was spotted shoveling cheeseburgers with extra mayo down her large face at the Kimbo Slice/Other Guy fight during Saturday’s Elite XC disappointer.

Though the 37 patties that Thin and Intellectual Brook consumed during the 14 second match seems like a lot, the six-foot, five-inch 267-pound ball of thunder thinks differently.

When questioned by Elite XC correspondent Christopher Crosby about her feeding trends, Thin and Intellectual Brook responded in a pitch similar to Crosby’s:

“Thirty-seven patties is normal , I need to make weight, stupid.”

The “weight” she mentions, of course referring to her upcoming MMA Heavyweight bout with Tank Abbot, is set at 280 lbs.

Is undefeated Mixed Martial Arts fighter Gina Carano all that she’s made out to be, or is she just a less attractive version of Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby? The brunette is currently 6-0-0 in her professional fighting career and won’t fight again until October 4th, 2008 when she’ll rumble with Kelly Kobald at EliteXC: Primetime 3 in Florida.

Editor’s Notes: Carano was voted “Hottest Woman In America” by Big Biz Magazine in the spring of 2008 issue, but as far as I’m concerned, Big Biz has just as much authority on women as Carson Daly does on humor.

If you have ever wanted to know how to throw a guy who comments about your milf of a wife onto another couple’s table in the middle of a crowded restaurant, or if you just need proper instruction and/or a new technique for kicking an unsuspecting barfly in the nuts, you need to watch Bas Rutten’s instructional video. He has the MMA record to defend his technique, and if you don’t listen to him, he will kick you in the nuts.

“Excuse me sir, you are telling me? This thing about my wife?”
“Bong, Bong, Bong. Don’t. You. Ever. Do Dis!”

In the ideal world, we are one with the universe. We harness our Chi internally to conquer our enemies externally. This is the ideal. However, the world is not an ideal place – at least in the world of fighting. We can’t just study the teachings of Buddha, Rama, Vishnu or Gandolf the gray, and expect to defeat an opponent that has been training under Bas Rutten (I’ll post on him soon, he’s balls crazy) for the past three years. It’s just not logical, and its not reality….
