Gina Carano, the MMA Fighter turned star of Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire (which hits theaters this summer) is set to make her return to the Strikeforce cage on June 18th under the headliners for the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix Tournament: Alistair Overeem vs. Fabricio Werdum. Carano is already training for her upcoming bout and has made headlines with her switch from Xtreme Couture to Jackson’s Submission Fighting camp.
Many names have been kicked around as a possible opponent for Carano, including this pregnant chick, but she’s obviously out, so Carano has no official opponent yet. But we’re really excited and if we could dream up a match for Carano, it would probably be Bellator’s super sexy Zoila [Frausto] Gurgel even though they’re not anywhere near the same weight class, so we’ll settle for Erin Toughill. That would be amazing. Hey Scott Coker, take a look at pictures of Carano and Toughill below and make this fight happen!
