Notes on the Carano/Santos Presser
Jake Rossen Jul 14, 2009
Strikeforce held a press conference at Madison Square Garden’s WaMu
Theater Tuesday afternoon to promote the Gina
Carano/Cristiane
"Cyborg" Santos title bout in San Jose on August 15. In
attendance: Jimmy Lennon, Jr. Carano, Santos, and Santos’
translator.
As is per the usual for these gatherings, nothing of any real significance was said: both women were confident of their chances and appreciate the opportunity to put women’s fighting in the spotlight. Carano said she got interested in MMA when she and an ex-boyfriend were “drinking 40s” one night and he was talking about starting training. Carano also disagreed with assertions that the fight was one of technique vs. power, and that both women had plenty of each to spare.
On how male and female MMA athletes differ, she noted that women had different genitalia. I suspect footage featuring Carano saying the word “penis” will not go unnoticed by forum regulars.
