This was the Zenith fight I was probably most looking forward to, and had this fucker booked ever since JJ lost her title. The two most dominant women in MMA history. And there can be only 1. #Highlander
This was a great back and forth fight, with heavy damage flying in both directions for round 1. No real winner there. But round 2, JJ took over with speed and finesse (and strikes), and lit Carano up. Gina died in the second round. RIP Carano’s reign as Queen of ManMMA. She did absorb an insane amount of damage in this one though.

This was the Zenith fight I was probably most looking forward to, and had this fucker booked ever since JJ lost her title. The two most dominant women in MMA history. And there can be only 1. #Highlander
This was a great back and forth fight, with heavy damage flying in both directions for round 1. No real winner there. But round 2, JJ took over with speed and finesse (and strikes), and lit Carano up. Gina died in the second round. RIP Carano’s reign as Queen of ManMMA. She did absorb an insane amount of damage in this one though.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
