Gina Carano
Gina “Conviction” Carano was the first star of women’s MMA. A Muay Thai fighter from Texas, she went 7–0 in EliteXC and Strikeforce between 2006 and 2009, beating Kelly Kobold and Julie Kedzie, and was promoted as the face of the sport while appearing on American Gladiators.
Her 2009 fight with Cris Cyborg for the Strikeforce featherweight title was the first major MMA card headlined by women, and it ended in her only loss when Cyborg stopped her in the first round. She then moved into acting with Haywire, Fast & Furious 6 and The Mandalorian. CagePotato followed the long-running comeback rumours.
