Gina Carano on American Gladiators

Gina Carano in a short video showcasing the new american gladiator show. She's known as "Crush" and its too bad they don't preview her as much as they do of any of the other gladiators. For the lead female gladiator, up-and-coming MMA fighter Gina Carano (Crush), maintaining respectability was paramount. "That's why I wasn't sure I was going to do this," says the Muay Thai fighter who hopes to improve her 5-0 record in a February cage match. "These people come from a different world. I'm serious about my fighting career.

Of all of the females, Crush, a soft-spoken, oft-smiling brunette beauty is the one you'd take home to Momma. And Carano doesn't exactly reek of confidence. She signed on "because they're paying me to play games on TV," and although she's an MMA pro, she "never trained with weapons. I showed up the first day, and all of the rest of the girls passed on the joust, so it fell to me."
