Strikeforce woman's champion Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos in negotiations with the WWE
by Tim Groves on March 04, 2011

Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos (10-1) is currently negotiating a contract with the WWE that would see her compete under the professional wrestling promotion, according to TATAME.com.

Santos, the unanimous choice for best female MMA fighter in the world, is frustrated with the lack of fights available to her inside Strikeforce. The Brazilian muay thai expert hasn't fought since June 2010. The wrestling contract would give her extra paydays on top of an added work schedule.

Santos and her husband, fellow mixed martial artist Evangelista Santos, attended a WWE event a few weeks ago. She was offered a contract at the event.

But at the same time Strikeforce needs to keep their champions active. But really who are they going to get for her to fight? She nearly killed he last opponent. flyangler: Stikeforce should offer a contract to a WWE wrestler to fight Cyborg in a mma rules fight. That would be interesting Marker28: You can't blame her for going after the money considering it will probably be 7 figures. Mickey knox: That sucks. Guess she's just gettin paid. There really is no competition for her in MMA, she'll do WWE for a while, then maybe come back to MMA when some other chick with a Y chromosome shows up and starts smashing the competition. Wandering_Minstrel: If she joins up with the WWE, expect more injuries out of her... meaning less MMA. Plus, she'll be a side-show freak in Pro-Wrestling. Anybody remember Chyna? Yeah... look at where she's at now. Doing low-budget porn just to prove she's actually a chick. Remember Ken Shamrock joining WWF? He was so-so before he left MMA... he became absolute garbage after coming back. Age, wear 'n' tear from being on the road, and talent finally surpassing you, will all ruin a return to an MMA career. D_V: she's too big for MMA. honestly the women's 145 division is rubbish. There shouldn't be a division that heavy in the sport. It should be open weight above 135.
