Gina Carano, the face of female mixed martial arts despite her Strikeforce championship loss to “Cyborg” Santos, has scored a starring movie role.<\/p>\n
According to Mike Fleming, Carano has been tapped as “a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who is given a second chance to use her skills for constructive purposes” in director Steven Soderbergh’s “Knockout.”<\/p>\n
The film, penned by Lem Dobbs, is described as being a flat-out spy thriller in the James Bond vein; it shoots in various global locations and will likely pull big name actors to support Carano in the cast.<\/p>\n
The attractive Carano, arguably the best-drawing fighter in the entire Strikeforce promotion, has earned notable media attention for her looks; having been tapped for shoots with publications like Maxim, Carano’s appearance is viewed as atypical for a woman in the world of fighting. She also appeared on the short-lived “American Gladiators” revival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3,7],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
