Even though Gina Carano suffered an embarrassing loss a week ago to Cyborg Santos that certaintly won’t stop us from covering the worlds hottest MMA star. In a recent interview with ESPN Magazine, Carano reveals some information about her period, and why it’s important for her to wear 3 bras every time she fights.

“I try not to schedule fights the week I’ll be on my period. Making weight is hard enough, and during our period we may retain around seven pounds of water weight,” Carano told ESPN. “Plus bruises hurt more, you’re bloated and cramping, and emotionally, it’s tougher to battle through the training. Also, some states require us to wear breast padding, since we are allowed to punch there. One time I didn’t have any; a guy told me to put a rolled-up towel in my bra. I said no. I usually just wear three sports bras during a fight.”

At Popcrunch we are not big fans of breast padding. In fact, we believe all women should be forced to fight naked in a pool of mud (unless they’re ugly of course).
