Gina Carano has been called the 'face of female MMA', but we haven’t seen her fight since her loss against Cristiane Santos on august 15, 2009.At the time of that fight, Carano was one of the biggest figures in not only the female MMA world, but the entire MMA community.
Since that loss, she has faded out of the public’s eye and has become forgotten by many causal fans. Carano’s big comeback was supposed to be an epic event, and her return at the Overeem vs. Werdum Strikeforce event would see the return of female MMA.
Unfortunately for female fight fans, Carano failed to get medical clearance from her doctor and will not be participating in the June 18 Strikeforce event.
The reasons for the medical failure are still unclear, but this is a huge set back for not only Carano, but the entire female MMA community.
This can’t be good news for Carano because this would’ve been a nice pay day, and her missing the fight with medical issues must mean they’re serious. Carano needs to worry about getting 100 percent healthy before she makes her comeback, or she risks losing her career.
