Female fighter battling weight issues

(via Yahoo! Sports) · October 10, 2008 · 6 AM

Las Vegas-based fighter and American Gladiator Gina Carano may be undefeated in her pro career, but last weekend she once again had trouble tipping the scales at the appropriate weight.

In fact Carano, to the delight of young male You Tube audiences worldwide, had to strip buck naked underneath a towel to help shed nearly two pounds to reach the agreed upon weight of 141 pounds for her Elite XC bout with Kelly Kobold.

And this wasn't the first time a last-minute trip to the sauna and jogging were needed to slim down.

    She needs to get Liz Halverson's diet book. She shed 200 lbs when she got hit over the head with a skillet.
