2. Cyborg knocks out Carano

The first time a bout between two women headlined a major MMA event, was when Cyborg and Gina Carano main evented Strikeforce: Cyborg vs. Carano on August 15th 2009.

Carano was all set to become the first big name in mixed martial arts.  She was attractive with an impressive kickboxing record, and up until this fight she was undefeated with a 7-0 MMA record.  Then she met Cyborg and everything changed.

The fight wasn’t even close.  It looked like a giant gargoyle was beating up a small hobbit.  Carano decided making B movies in Hollywood was a better career choice afterwards.  She hasn’t fought since.
