Hot Celebrity : Gina Carano not comfortable with pin-up girls title??
Gina Joy Carano (born April 16, 1982) is an American mixed martial arts fighter; her specialty is Muay Thai. Carano also appears as the Gladiator "Crush" on American Gladiators. She has been referred to as the "face of women's MMA".

Carano was born in Dallas County, Texas, the middle daughter of Glenn Carano and Dana Cason. She has two sisters, one older and one younger.Her father played for the Dallas Cowboys as a backup quarterback from 1977-1983 and for the USFL Pittsburgh Maulers as a starter in 1984, their only year of operations.
She graduated from Trinity High School in Las Vegas, NV where she led the girl's basketball team to a state title.She attended the University of Nevada, Reno for a year and then University of Nevada, Las Vegas for three, where she was a psychology student.
Sexy Gina Carano Complains About Fame: Gina Carano is certainly one of the most attractive women to ever choose professional fighting as a career (weather is Martial Arts or Boxing). As she prepares for Kelly Kobold-Gavin on October 4th EliteXC on CBS bout, reporters and everyone else in the media can’t help but to levitate towards the Italian beauty. Well according to the sculptures Carano, that is something she doesn’t fell comfortable with.
BodogLife.com, the leaders in MMA fighting bring you the following betting odds for this historic EliteXC on CBS night, Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Fergusson is -400 MMA Betting Odds favorite against “The World’s Most Dangerous Man”, Ken Shamrock +300.
Gina Carano has said on various occasions that she is not the face of women's MMA, and only wants to be known as a fighter.
“I don’t even know what a pin-up girl is, and I’ve never called myself a pin-up girl or done anything to try to depict myself in any way other than as a woman who likes to be attractive but who also likes to fight,” Carano said. “I haven’t taken raunchy pictures. I haven’t done anything that would embarrass myself, my family or my sport, but I see people writing things like that and it’s so discouraging.”
Mind you, this is coming from a person that’s a member of “American Gladiators”, has posed for “Maxim Magazine”, didn’t even make weight in her last fight, and yet people are still writing about her, and looking her up online… Thus, increasing her revenue. And, she’s still complaining about the fame?
Sweetheart… it is that same fame that's is making you tons of money, in an industry where not many care about female martial artists. Furthermore without it, you would be just another female fighter struggling to be taken seriously, and starving to make a living fighting. In conclusion, if you really want to be considered only as a fighter, then I suggest you try “making weight” next time... because ultimately, that is your job as a fighter.
