Maxim Monday: MMA Star Gina Carano
Posted: Mon Feb 16, 2009 4:22 pm
Maxim.com asked MMA star and one-time American Gladiator “Crush” Gina Carano about her gut-crushing firsts. Then they ducked.
First Quickie:
My first MMA fight was with this girl who shouldn’t have been in the cage with me. I ground and pounded her in 39 seconds. It was a good feeling, sure, but you train your butt off for so long, then it only lasts 39 seconds? Kind of like your other first time.
First Use of Oversize Toiletries:
On American Gladiators, I got to pummel a lot of people off a pyramid with a giant Q-tip. It was so much fun to wrestle people with no risk of getting knocked out or choked out.
First Kiss:
It was in the seventh grade by the horse corrals. It didn’t smell good, but it was a good kiss.
First Time Playing Bodyguard:
I was at one of those stupid parties where people don’t know each other, and all of a sudden a fight broke out. I jumped in because my boyfriend was getting his face kicked in. I think it’s cool for a guy to know a girl has his back.
First Blood Drawn:
The first time I ever sparred, I bloodied three girls’ noses. They were mad. I didn’t get it, though—I thought that was the point! After that I wasn’t allowed to spar with girls, so I started sparring with guys. That’s all I train with now.
