Gina Joy Carano (born April 16, 1982) is an American actress, television personality, fitness model, and former mixed martial artist (MMA). Carano began her training with straight Muay Thai to competitive MMA, where she competed in Strikeforce and EliteXC. She was featured in ''ESPN The Magazine'' as well as ''Maxim''. Her popularity led to her being called the "face of women's MMA" (although Carano herself rejected the honor) and was ranked 5th on a list of the "Top 10 Influential Women" of 2008. In August 2009, Carano fought Cristiane Santos in Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg, the first time two women headlined a major MMA event; Santos won. Carano compiled a competitive record of 12–1–1 in Muay Thai and a 7–1 in women's MMA. Outside the ring, Carano performed as Crush in the revamped 2008 television series ''American Gladiators''. Carano has pursued a career in acting since she retired from competition. Carrano's film debut in Steven Soderbergh's 2011 action film ''Haywire'' earned a nomination for best actress in that genre at the 18th Critics' Choice Awards. Additional film credits include ''Fast & Furious 6'' (2013), a starring role in John Stockwell's ''In the Blood'' (2014), and as Angel Dust in the upcoming Marvel Comics film adaptation of ''Deadpool''. == Early life == She was born in Dallas, Texas, the middle daughter of Dana Joy (née Cason) and Glenn Thomas Carano. She has two sisters.〔Iole, Kevin (28 May 2008). ("Carano wants to be fighter first, star later" ). ''Yahoo Sports''. Alt: ().
