Gina Carano Having Weight Problems Again, LOL (this is despicable).

Gina Carano initially weighed in for her 140-pound bout with Kelly Kobold at 142.75 pounds -- which, due to the one-pound allowance, is actually 1.75 pounds over the limit. She was white as a ghost, walking very slowly and completely straight-faced. I would compare it to how someone looks when they are in the middle of a serious case of the flu. Clearly, Carano is still having issues getting down to 140, and it's getting to the point where you have to wonder if it's safe for her to continue cutting that much for a fight. At the very least, her method of cutting needs to be reevaluated.

This is where it gets a little bizarre. Rather than try to go cut more weight, Carano -- for the first time I can recall -- opted to weigh in again with no clothes on. Several officials shielded her from onlookers with a large towels. She removed her clothing, stepped back on the scale... and came in at 142.50 this time. Clearly upset and not feeling well, there was a few seconds of discussion on the stage, before Carano stepped onto the scale a third time. Although she didn't appear to remove any further clothing (she was already nude, as far as anyone knew), she came in at 141.0 on the third attempt. There was definitely plenty of confusion among the press and other onlookers in the room, who couldn't figure out what happened in that 10-20 seconds between weigh-in attempts that caused a 1.5 pound difference in Carano. I did not see anything personally, and I think very few people did. One theory kicked around on my side of the room was that some of the clothing Carano removed may have been sitting on the scale during the second attempt, causing the second failure, but I wasn't in a position to see her feet, so I can't confirm that.

It was definitely a curious scene. I'll try to get an official answer about what happened between the second and third nude weigh-ins that made such a difference, but a lot of people were scratching their heads after that one.




Apparently the show must go on. You find me an industry that ain't corrupt and I'll show you one that hasn't been scrutinized with a fine-tooth comb.

 

Two words: OH YEAH!!!


500 cool points to the 1st person who can provide pictures of the Carano weigh in debacle.

sidenote: I think she dropped her chastity belt. That's how she lost the extra weight.

 

Abso****inlutely!!! If Paul Wiliams can get his 6 foot 2 fram down to 147 Carano can get her fat ass down to 140. I'd love to lay her but as an athlete she leaves much to be desired.

 

You're right. ****it, as she just said, she should fight at 145.
