As you are very aware if you are a reader of this site, Gina Carano is set to face-off with Kaitlin Young tomorrow night as EliteXC makes it’s network debut on CBS. Oh yeah, Kimbo Slice is fighting too, if you care…. pffft. Anyway, today was the big weigh-in and Gina juuussst missed her target weight of 140 by a mere 4.5 pounds. Ooof… not even close.

Normally, she would have one hour to lose 3.5 pounds (she weighed in at 144.5); however, MMAMania.com learned from Nick Lembo, the New Jersey Athletic Control Board (NJACB) Deputy Attorney, that the regulatory body didn’t want her to cut weight anymore weight at that time.

Therefore, prior to the official weigh-ins, a deal was struck between the Carano and Young camps that the fight would go on and Conviction would surrender a 12.5 percent purse penalty.

What a shock. The fight will go on? You mean they actually thought about canceling the fight everyone wants to see and that they’ve promoting the hell out of of for weeks now? Yeah, right.

Oh yeah, and that Kimbo guy is fighting too, like I said. He made weight. No problem.
