In the past, MMA's most popular female fighter Gina Carano has had a little trouble weighing in. For her EliteXC Saturday Night Fights show on October 4, she promised it would be different.
Although she once again struggled on the scale, it definitely was different. In order to make weight, Carano got naked. In her third try, she finally came in at 141 pounds, which is the maximum allowed weight for her upcoming fight with Kelly Kobold without Carano having to forfeit part of her purse.
MMA Junkie reports that she weighed in at 142.725 pounds on her first attempt. Take 2, after taking it all off? 142.5 pounds. On her third try, she somehow lost the additional 1.5 pounds, and came in at 141. No one is able to say exactly how she lost the final pound and a half, but she was finally able to make weight, and she will not have to forfeit a portion of her purse, as she did in her fight against Kaitlin Young.
