Yahoo - Strikeforce announced today that Gina Carano will not fight on their
June 18 card in Dallas after not getting medically cleared, and they
have not decided yet if Sarah D'Alelio will still fight on the card. The
bout between K.J. Noons and Jorge Masvidal will now be aired on
Showtime. A reason for Carano's lack of a medical clearance was not
given, nor was a return date.
The lack of medical clearance is a stumbling block for Carano's
return to fighting after taking a break to work on her movie career. She
hasn't fought since losing badly to Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos nearly
two years ago. Carano had recently moved training camps from Xtreme
Couture in Las Vegas to Jackson's in New Mexico in preparation for the
bout.
Dare I say steroids. It would only make sense. Gina was outmatched in size and strength in her last fight with Cyborg Santos. She is coming off a break where I'm sure she wasn't in the gym much and was concentrating on movie. She probably hit the roids and started back up in the gym without thinking twice. No point in returning to the ring if you know you can't win the title and that would be the only way she could take out Cyborg. Food for thought.
