Gina Carano

You've been hesitant in talking about your future in MMA, one way
or another. What criteria would you use to make a decision about
returning or not?

(chuckles) There are certain things that I always dreamed of, like fighting in the UFC. That was a big one.

I don't know. There's just certain things that I feel like haven't
been accomplished there. There's such great women coming up in the
sport; seems like a wonderful time to be in women's MMA.

So I'm not sure. I'm going to kind of get on the other side of Jan.
20th and give back to this film what it gave to me. Because it was -- I
won't lie and say it wasn't the best time of my life, because it
absolutely was. It was really fun to creatively express myself in a
sport and a passion that I love, without having to try and hurt someone.

I know that there's so much that you can do in a lifetime with acting
and there's only a certain amount of time you can fight. I'm keeping
all these things in mind. I'll definitely know a lot more in a couple of
months.

Is that a way of saying that you'd be done with fighting if the
movie does well and high-quality offerings come rolling in from
Hollywood?

Not necessarily. I think that the right offer has to come in either
way. I was told that by a wonderful actress whom I've always kind of
looked up to and watched in her career, the good and the bad.

She told me something and I'll always remember it. She says, "No
matter what, you've got make the right decisions for yourself in this
life. You have to stay true to yourself."

Sometimes that means walking away from something that you don't want
to walk away from because you think the opportunity's going to be so
great. Or sometimes that's doing something that nobody believes in, like
when I started Muay Thai and I got hard time for fighting and looked at
sideways for thinking that that was a profession.

I think it's just going to feel right when it does. I'm not sure
exactly what is going to take that decision. I'm just trying to get on
the other side of Jan. 20th and look back and know I gave it everything I
had to give back. Then I can have a clean slate and start and land
where I'm at.

Didn't she do her part to give back to WMMA? I think she has. Doesn't this movie only help?

She doesn't owe WMMA anything. She gave plenty. They used her sex appeal and she used the exposure to get her acting career going. They used eachother.
