Gina Joy Carano (born April 16, 1982[1]) is an American actress and former mixed martial artist. She competed in Elite Xtreme Combat and Strikeforce from 2006 to 2009, where she compiled a 7–1 record.[2] Her popularity led to her being called the "face of women's MMA", although Carano rejected this title.[3] She and Cris Cyborg were the first women to headline a major MMA event during their 2009 Strikeforce bout.[4] Carano retired from competition after her first professional MMA defeat to Cyborg.
Transitioning from the ring to the screen, Carano landed her first major role as the lead of the action film Haywire (2011), which was followed by appearances in Fast & Furious 6 (2013) and Deadpool (2016). She also portrayed Cara Dune in the first two seasons of the Disney+ space Western series The Mandalorian from 2019 to 2020.
