Actually, Carano/Maxim model wannabes, bu which I mean they are in it to be famous, not fighters. And while I love Carano (look around the site for my numerous gratuitous Carano posts), it is sometimes difficult to take her seriously as a fighter because of her public image. I don't blame her for capitalizing on what God gave her, although I know lot of professional female fighters have been very critical of the way she has marketed herself.

She's a fighter that trains and has true heart along with alot of fans that do not think she's a wannabe. So saying that she is just because shes done some photo shoots and interviews is so unnecessary and such ignorants behind it as well. Just because someone has recgonition in a sport and are choosen to be in photo shoot does not mean they are wannabes!!!!! First off Gina Carano is not no wannabe nothing!
