Well here you have an aging female star- her only commodities were her body and her face. Initially she used her body and her will to beat the shit out of a bunch of poorly trained female MMA fighters. She was given what in Boxing is referred to as "tomato cans" to crush- matched up with women who had no business being in that cage. This created the illusion that Gina was an untouchable fighter- that actually came in the form of Ronda Rousey many years later, but Gina laid the groundwork for her.
But then she got matched up with a real female MMA fighter (who was also juiced to the gills), and this happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOAs68YcTzs (there is the full fight).
After that, Gina decided "fight isn't for me", and she ran off into the belly of the beast itself: Hollywood. A few years later, she's working for Disney on Star Wars project. Now you tell me "she isn't part of the club".
