Kijk, dat is mooi. Zo’n vijf jaar geleden verliet Gina Carano de MMA sport om zich meer te richten op films, zoals de Fast & Furious reeks. Nu begint het toch weer een beetje te kriebelen bij het voormalige vrouwelijke ‘gezicht’ van MMA. Een quote van haarzelf:
I feel like I can’t say too much [about recent conversations about a possible return]. I’ve got all this information that if I could just speak freely, this is actually what’s going on. I wish I could open up my mind and tell you exactly the things that I’ve seen and the conversations that I’ve had, but I think to sum it up in a nice, safe way for me is if circumstances were right, and if it’s a good enough circumstance [I would come back] because my first love is MMA.
Dat dus. Een terugkeer lijkt dichtbij. Dat zou bijvoorbeeld tegen Ronda Rousey kunnen plaatsvinden, of Cristiane Santos, waar ze in haar laatste MMA partij tegen verloor.
De deur staat dus op een kier, maar of het snel gaat gebeuren? Quote nummer twee:
I haven’t trained for a fight in a long time, so it gets kind of interesting when these rumors start coming up. But if I ever did do something like that, I would want the circumstances to be correct and right…. I would definitely take something like that extremely seriously. I would dedicate myself to it, and need the time because you’re taking somebody who hasn’t fought in a while, that hasn’t been in the fight camp-type environment; and it would have to be done in a time where there would be enough time for me to get ready for that and be able to support myself during that time because that’s all I’d be doing is taking that seriously, and it would take me away from other projects or potential projects that I’ve been working this far in my life to get to.
We gaan het zien !
