Gina Carano – American Gladiators ‘Crush’ (Photos and Video)

MMA (mixed martial arts) star, Gina Carano, aka ‘Crush‘ returned for Season 2 of the all new American Gladiators Monday night.

25-year-old Carano is the daughter of Glenn Carano, who played backup quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys from 1977-1983. She was invited to participate in the first ever female sanctioned MMA bout in Nevada after racking up an impressive 12-1-1 Muay Thai (a type of boxing combining kicks and punches) record.

Carano, who was profiled Tuesday night on the ESPN show “E:60” has become the most recognizable face in the MMA, and her stint on the new American Gladiators has put her in the mainstream spotlight.
