Have you ever wanted to know the science behind the techniques of mixed martial arts superstar Gina Carano? Well in an episode of Sports Science, Gina Carano makes an appearance that sees her getting her striking and submissions abilities tested scientifically.

After getting strapped into the Functional Assessment of Biomechanics (FAB) suit, host John Brenkus looks to generate real time data and reveal how powerful her strikes are.

I wish it could talk crap or something, so I could get angry at it when sizing up the ballistic gel dummy.

With her alternating between the dummy and the heavy bag, Gina was put through her paces measuring her punches, kicks, elbows and knees.

The results were staggering with Gina’s punches clocked in at 650lb of force, her elbows recorded 400lbs of force, her knees created 550 lbs of force and her kicks measured the highest at 800lbs of force. Averaging 8 strikes every 3 seconds, the entire barrage generated 4000 lbs of force overall and left the dummy with fractured ribs.

With striking measured the next test was her submission abilities. Not letting the dummy off the hook, Gina Carano then had her rear naked choke measured on the ballistics dummy, which generated a total 380lbs of force.

Still wanting more data about the effects of the choke Sports Science host John Brenkus volunteered himself to be the dummy for the next test.

Appearing a bit nervous, John lets Gina apply a rear naked choke on him and after a tense few seconds he was put sound asleep. Taking a few more seconds to wake up John appeared very confused.

What happened? as John slowly woke up.

You fell asleep for a little bit Gina reveals.

The results revealed Gina’s choke cut off the oxygen flow to John’s brain by 15%, which resulted in the frontal cortex cells being stunned affecting his short term memory.
