Gina Carano Not Retiring, Attention Focused Elsewhere

Gina Carano may not be stepping into the cage anytime soon, or again for that matter, but it doesn't mean she is going to officially retire from competition.

Carano discussed where she's at in her career at this point and her plans for the future in an interview with CraveOnline.com:

“No, I haven't. I think it's really nice for me to get into this new career. I know I can't make a living fighting, nor would I want to make a living fighting for the rest of my life. Plus it's been a decade now. I don't know if you've been reporting or doing something for 10 years, but after you do it long enough and you find something else to put your energy towards, it's just like starting over but it's fresh and you have the energy all of a sudden to do it. … I don't want to be one of those people that says, 'Oh, I retire. Okay, I'm back. Oh, I retire. Okay, I'm back.' I'm just like okay, this is what I'm doing right now. Who knows what's going to come after it? I really haven't really gotten that far yet.”
