We just posted a link to a story in which our future wife Gina Carano was in attendance giving her full support to the UFC heavyweight champ’s wife, Kim Couture, in her pro MMA debut. What that post or the one linked to it didn’t show you was the up-close-and-personal look at exactly what happened to the formerly pretty Mrs. Couture’s face.

Couture suffered a broken nose and a broken jaw-bone (as you can see in the picture above, it split in the middle of her chin). How she kept fighting to the very last bell is beyond me, but I will say that women, while smaller and not as strong, are 9 times out of 10 tougher than men. The question is, if this was Kim’s first pro MMA fight, is there any chance of a second? And if you’re her husband, how could you stand to see her fight again?

Here’s the third and final round of what I am referring to as The Deconstruction of Kim…

UPDATE: She says she plans to fight again.
