Team Jackson/Winkeljohn has been convicted.
Well, technically it’s “Conviction,” as Strikeforce star Gina Carano has
begun training with the team in New Mexico in preparation for her return to
action in June.
Sources at Team Jackson/Winkeljohn informed MMAWeekly.com that Carano began training there about
three weeks ago, and while she’s not officially part of the team, she plans to
continue her work there in the immediate future.
Carano has spent her entire training career up till now in and around the Las
Vegas area. Originally training Muay Thai with Master Toddy, Carano then
advanced her MMA training at Xtreme Couture.
She spent the majority of her training camps at Xtreme Couture for her last
several fights, but she appears ready for a bit of a change.
Over the past few years, Team Jackson/Winkeljohn has built up a solid stable
of women’s fighters including Julie Kedzie, who faces Kaitlin Young in the main
event of Jackson’s MMA Series 4 this weekend, as well as top pro boxer turned
MMA fighter Holly Holm.
Carano will train with the team in preparation for her tentatively scheduled
return to action this June at Strikeforce’s
event in Dallas. She has been out of action for over a year since a loss to
Cris “Cyborg” Santos, and then began filming her part in a new movie titled
“Haywire” directed by Steven Soderbergh.
