Gina Carano vs Cristiane ‘Cyborg’ Santos Confirmed

“Cyborg,” the wife of former Pride FC fighter Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos, burst onto the scene in May of 2008 with a dominating performance against Shayna Baszler in her debut under the Elite XC banner. Like her husband, she’s a product of the Brazilian Chute Boxe Academy, a style that’s evident as soon as she steps foot in the cage.
Her most recent fight was on the Strikeforce: ‘Shamrock vs. Diaz’ card last April when she received heavy criticism for missing weight for her fight against Japanese import Hitomi Akano. Santos brutalized “Girlfight Monster” for two rounds before stopping her with strikes in the final frame.
Since the fall of Elite XC immediately following Elite XC: “Heat” in 2008, Santos has been clear on the fact that she wanted to fight Carano, the face of women’s MMA and one-time Elite XC headliner.
And “Conviction” is more than happy to oblige.
The only obstacle preventing the blockbuster fight from happening, however, was the confusion still left over from the Pro Elite fighter contracts. Now that Strikeforce has secured Carano after finally acquiring her contract in the Pro Elite sale, the eventual superfight is set now to go down on August 15.

"This is gonna be crazy "
They better both make weight...what ever the weight class is going to be. I know it was listed as 145lbs but I wouldn't be surprised if they catch weight at anything from 145 to 160.
"because of women's issues"..........piss off
