Gina Carano Instagram – On Feb 10, 2007 I fought and won against Julie Kedzie on Showtime making it a ground breaking moment for women in the mixed martial arts. This is a fight I believe will go down in history as the fight that changed the game for female mma fighters, yes the Cyborg fight was groundbreaking as well but that wouldn’t have happened without this fight. There are women who paved the path to making this fight happen who I am grateful for, where people will never even know their names. Ground breakers are a tough breed. You start something you love and then everyone else comes up behind and it becomes trendy and those people reap the rewards the ground breakers wouldn’t have even dreamed possible because they were just doing it for the love of the sport or art or passion of what they began. Here’s to the groundbreakers, those are the stories I want to hear more about. Don’t let people squash your spirit just because they can’t see or feel your dream. Let them laugh and mock while you stay dedicated to what is in your heart. It’ll all work itself out in the end. Have faith. With love and respect. Keep fighting for what you believe. 🤍
