World of MMA Collectibles Series 4 Gina Carano Pink Shorts Chase, Round 5 '09

Gina Carano was the breakout star of women's MMA at the height of the sport's early mainstream surge, and Round 5 recognized that when they included her in Series 4 of the World of MMA Collectibles line. Released in 2009, this figure captures Carano at the peak of her fighting career, when she was the most recognizable face in female combat sports and a genuine crossover name drawing attention well beyond the hardcore MMA audience. Series 4 arrived as Round 5 was cementing its position as the go-to manufacturer for UFC collectibles, and the Carano figure stood out within the wave as the first female fighter the line had produced.

Round 5's World of MMA Collectibles figures were built around a collector-first philosophy: fighter-specific packaging with photos and biographical information, a consistent aesthetic across the line, and a focus on active roster stars rather than generic branded merchandise. The Carano figure fits squarely in that model, making it a natural piece for anyone building a complete Series 4 set or a dedicated Carano collection. Given her subsequent transition out of active competition and into acting, demand for her licensed MMA merchandise has held steadily among collectors who followed her fighting career.

This is the chase: the WalkOutWear.com exclusive variant, sculpted in the black sleeveless top and pink pinstriped fight shorts with her GC monogram, while the standard release wears the red-top presentation shown in the card art. The card frames her "Believe there is hope" quote and carries the WalkOutWear.com exclusive callout on the front. A pre-UFC-era Round 5 piece from the line that documented MMA's crossover moment, sealed on the original Series 4 card.
