Gina Carano No Longer Fighting On Strikeforce: Overeem vs Werdum

News

Women’s MMA breakthrough star Gina Carano’s return to the ring has been cancelled after her doctor revoked her medical clearance to fight. As announced on Strikeforce’s Facebook account her fight will now be replaced by lightweight prelim K.J Noons vs. Jorge Masvidal.  Carano became a star for EliteXC on CBS but has only fought once for Strikeforce, losing her an eagerly anticipated title match in 2009 against current women’s champion Cris ‘Cyborg’ Santos.  Her June 18th fight was due to be her return after two years spent concentrating on acting and other entertainment commitments.
