Gina Carano, the so-called “Face of Women’s MMA” and Strikeforce contender, is one of six athletes who will be featured on the cover of ESPN The Magazine’s upcoming “The Body” Issue, which debuts on newstands on October 18 as competition to Sport Illustrated’s popular swimsuit issue.
A photo of Carano’s cover (via USA Today) is below:

“Be nice. Keep it clean. Stay on topic. No spam.”
With that picture up there? Nice? Clean? I’m dying to see this…
Yeah, gonna be a hard one to moderate.
*rimshot*
You said, “hard…”
Knew someone would say that.
Hate to let the public down… If you don’t set your expectations very high, I will rarely disappoint you.
If you bring spam into this, I will smack you next time I see you.
BLOODY VIKINGS!
Good game though.
I’m only saying this because I highly doubt that anybody noticed this very small detail hidden in the picture.
Gina Carano is HOT!!
Wow… I hadn’t noticed that before… Thanks, JoeSama, for the insight.
and airbrushed to all hell. But hey if they can make Britney look good why not Gina.
You cant compare her to Gina
If you don’t think Gina looks good even after a sound thrashing from Guyborg you might want to get your manhood airbrushed.
i dont think they airbrushed anything, shes a gorgeous woman. i will try to not make any comments that need to be moderated, but shes a hottie.
shes in better shape here then she was in the fight with guyborg. she really needs to protect her face from an overhand right here..
When you ’shape’ is better, it does not necessarily mean you are in “better shape”. Now excuse me while I scroll back up…
Doesn’t seem like she had any issue with cutting weight for the photo shoot.
I’m going to have to use this move Gina is posing for, to get one of these magazines…. These are going to go quick.
Gina looks great !!!
Proud Fan,
Reeza
DAY-UM!!! She is very beautiful with a killer body, wow!!
DAY-UM, she is super fine…….
i cried its so beautiful
i love gina
WOW she’s amazing!! I’m speechless now!!
Very Proud Fan
Now I’m a fan of her fights and her style, she is undoubtably a very good looking woman, for those of you who say o its airbrushed or she made weight for the pics but not fights blah blah blah I would guess that this pic was taking before she weighed in for the Carano v Cyborg fight on August 15th, her ab structure looks very similar, good stuff
Leave it to you, ya dirty old man, to notice something like “ab structure.”
Dirty I might be, but old I don’t consider 30 old
Looks like they airbrushed in her shorts. Pretty sure she did this photo shoot totally in the nude. At least that’s how I see it…
That’s how I wanna see it
Um who cares what’s air brushed or not in this picture. If you have seen her at all it’s kinda hard to not say she isn’t gorgeous with or with out airbrushing.
She’s gorgeous either way and could drop most of the guys on this site with a right cross… and some would like it… that’s how you know you’re good…
Why the he11 is she topeless? What’s the point? The alternative would have been just fine. but hey, sex sells, right? this is BS. I guess it just seems like a low blow and something else for the MMA haters to point out how the fans are just a bunch of mindless, blood-thirsty whatevers who only watch for the violence and ring girls, etc., and have no respect for women, yada yada yada.
ESPN is running a bodies series on the cover of the mag featuring a lot of athletes in various states of undress. Gina happens to be one of the people. I’ve also seen something about Serena Williams and a couple of throwballers in it/on the covers.
my bad i guess. Just feel like taking someone who is obviously HOTTT, and putting her nearly nude was just unecessary. I mean you get an idea of her body even with a top.
And by all accounts Carano is a savvy businesswoman in addition to being a top shelf sportswoman.
Why shouldn’t she use her entire skillset both in MMA and in the businessworld?
I’m not sure where you are from, micjasbro, but in Las Vegas, no one blinks an eye at something as tame as that ESPN Magazine cover.
I mean, honestly, have you never seen a Vegas show, or an add for one?
If I get to Vegas, I am definitely going to one of those shows…
And maybe this magazine cover answers the question as to why Randy Couture left his wife…
I didnt know her and GSP swaped undies.
Niiiiiice…
Well i cant let you and the biz’s steal the show. The couture one was gold by the way but that goes without saying.
……………wow!
She knows there is big money in those boobs… Doesn’t really seem fair to the guy MMA fans out there though. Shes super hot… Loves to fight.. And now she.. topless.. Come on.. Not fair
Damn seriously what a spectacular body!
Quick…someone raise her hands in victory!
