Next week, Gina Carano hits a big PR stop while on the mend from an issue that prompted the cancellation of her fight at "Strikeforce: Overeem vs. Werdum."

Carano (7-1 MMA, 0-1 SF) will attend next weekend's Comic-Con, a yearly fan convention on comic books, video games and movies, to promote the upcoming action-thriller movie, "Haywire."

Scott Karp, Carano's manager, said the fighter is "starting to feel better" and may soon know about her fighting future.

Karp declined to shed any further light about the issue that led Carano's personal doctor to deny her medical clearance to fight Sarah D'Alelio at the June 18 event in Dallas.

The manager added that Carano is currently fielding several film offers.

The fighter filmed "Haywire" this past fall alongside actors Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas and Antonio Banderas. The movie was helmed by renowned director Steven Soderbergh, who will also be in attendance at Comic-Con.

Carano, 29, has not fought since August 2009 when she took the first loss of her professional career in a bout against Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos for the then-vacant Strikeforce women's middleweight tournament. "Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg" drew 856,000 viewers on Showtime while the event averaged 576,000.
