Kim Couture won’t be in Gina Carano’s corner on Saturday night, but she’ll be in attendance at the HP Pavilion cheering on her friend.

FanHouse spoke to Couture about what this fight means for women’s MMA and what Carano needs to do to defeat Cris Cyborg. She also spoke about her own MMA career and life after being married to Randy Couture.

Most fathers wouldn’t be able to stomach the sight of their daughter getting punched in the face. Glenn Carano, though, is not like most fathers. The former Dallas Cowboys backup quarterback is always front and center when his daughter, Gina Carano, competes, and Saturday night will be no different.

FanHouse spoke to Carano on Friday after the Strikeforce weigh-ins about how his daughter spends the final 24 hours before a fight and what it’s like to watch her compete in mixed martial arts.
