Randy Couture to train Carano for her fight with Cyborg

When Gina Carano and Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos meet in Strikeforce’s first ever 145 lbs. women’s title fight, they will be competing in true championship form. Strikeforce recently informed the two fighters that for the first time ever under their promotion, this female bout will be five, five-minute rounds. Able to finally "play" like the boys, Carano and Cyborg, regardless of the fight’s result, will make history when they step in the cage later this summer.

Meanwhile, it looks like Gina Carano will have a certain advantage over her opponent as MMAWeekly.com recently reported that Randy Couture has accepted Carano’s invitation to train and corner her for the biggest fight of her career.

Boy would I put her on a heavy ground-grappling routine private instructor style! What do you think, might this be factor that tips the scales back in Carano's favor?
