GINA CARANO:
“I’ve got one of the toughest fights of my life coming up. I’m coming ready to fight. I’m going to give it my all.
“I’ve handled the press and won’t let it get to my head. I’m just living my life and doing my best.
“It’s been unbelievable to be at the forefront of women’s MMA. Raising the recognition of the sport has been a blessing. The fan support has been amazing. I’m standing up here because of the fans.
“There is something so pure and honest about two women fighting. The fans just love it.
“Randy and Kim, the whole Extreme Couture family, is tough. They expect the best from me and push me to my limits.
“My dad told me to stay in school because he wanted the best from me. But I think I’ve learned some of the best lessons in life from fighting. I don’t have the college degree I was going for, but I have the experiences.
“America is a strange place to be when you are a star. I wish our culture would respect people as human beings and not as objects. When you’re in the spotlight they love you, but that is very short lived.
“This training camp has been going very well. I have a lot of knowledge of what I’ve been doing right and what I’ve been doing wrong.
“I’m a fighter. My job is to fight.
“EliteXC is doing great things for the sport. I’m not trying to be a promoter. I just put on a good show and hope that people watch it.
“I am a recognized female in the sport, but I don’t think that I am the face of women’s MMA. It’s just a label. I’m Gina Carano. You can label me that.
“I am a different person everyday. I may not look my best at a weigh in, but I’ll be good the next day.
“Kelly (Kobold) is well rounded and she is coming to fight. I’m glad I’m going to be tested.
“My game plan is to fight a good fight. I’ve been studying her style, how she reacts under pressure and when she gets hit, but nothing compares to when you get in there and the fight starts.
“I’m a fighter first and foremost. American Gladiators was a good experience. I’m motivated by learning experiences, not by money or fame, so it opened my mind to a lot of things.
“Everyone has their own niche in life. I just seem to gravitate towards physical violence.”
