Gina Carano - Biography Summary


Gina Joy Carano (born April 16, 1982) is an American actress, television personality, fitness model, and former mixed martial artist.

Carano began her training with straight Muay Thai to competitive MMA, where she competed in Strikeforce and EliteXC. She was featured in ESPN The Magazine as well as Maxim. Her popularity led to her being called the "face of women's MMA" (although Carano herself rejected the title) and was ranked 5th on a list of the "Top 10 Influential Women" of 2008. In August 2009, Carano fought Cris Cyborg in Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg, the first time two women headlined a major MMA event; Cyborg won. Carano compiled a competitive record of 12–1–1 in Muay Thai and a 7–1 in women's MMA.

Outside the ring, Carano performed as Crush in the revamped 2008 television series American Gladiators. Carano has pursued a career in acting since she retired from competition. Her film debut was in "Blood and Bone" with Michael Jai White in 2009. She also appeared in Steven Soderbergh's 2011 action film Haywire, and she has appeared in Fast & Furious 6 (2013) and Deadpool (2016).
