The following is an excerpt from an article at MMAJunkie.com:
Gina Carano (5-0), perhaps the most popular female fighter in MMA history, will not be part of Elite Xtreme Combat’s February event after all.
Earlier month, the organization announced that Carano would face an undetermined opponent at the Feb. 16 EliteXC event, which takes place at the University of Miami’s BankUnited Arena in Miami, Fla. The event, which airs on Showtime, is headlined by a heavyweight clash between Kimbo Slice and Tank Abbott.
However, in an updated press release issued today, Carano’s name wasn’t on the fight card. Additionally, an EliteXC official today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that she would no longer be part of the event.
Carano couldn’t be reached for comment. However, MMAjunkie.com has heard grumblings of a potential rift between EliteXC officials and Carano’s camp. Those rumors couldn’t be substantiated, though.
