MMA Junkie passes along some details on the August 15th Strikeforce title fight between Gina Carano (7-0) and Cristiane "Cris Cyborg" Santos (7-1), informing us that the match is scheduled for five three-minute rounds, and will be contested at a weight of 145 pounds. So in other words, women can fight for 15 minutes just like the boys, as long as it’s in the context of a blockbuster title fight. (Yay, equality!)
Of course, that "145" is the more troubling number when it comes to these two. Cyborg famously came in seven pounds over the 145-pound limit for her last fight against Hitomi Akano, while Carano’s long history of scale fails include weighing in at 144.5 for a 140-pound fight against Kaitlin Young, and the infamous naked-behind-a-towel situation prior to her scrap with Kelly Kobold in October. While Cyborg blamed "woman problems" for missing weight, Carano probably should have been competing at 145 all along — though after a 10-month layoff, missing weight again is always a possibility. Good luck to both of these dangerous, water-retaining warriors.
"Carano vs. Cyborg" will be held at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California; tickets go on sale this Monday.

commentsThat said, in the pic where she's got cyborg up in the air after the double leg, she actually looks kind of cute. Anyone else see that? Maybe she just needs to smile more.
that being said cyborg is a beast, if she's a little more controlled while using her power, keeping that penis firmly tucked away, and picking her shots I don't see her being seriously challenged
@cagerage...for sure they take turns, thats why they in love of course, perfect sparring partners. you pound me, i pound you, yahoo! but if you're question is who has a bigger penis? Cris for sure. her jaw line is a dead give away. god help poor ginas pretty face.
Lap Dancing... now thats a sport!
I like to think of pole-dancing as more of a vocation.

EWWWWWWWWWW
Serously, other than beach volleyball, what other woman's sport is worth watching? Do you guys follow the WNBA this closely?
I would hate to be with Cyborg. That dude is an idiot.
