A source we spoke to today received confirmation from Cyborg’s management that Zuffa’s exclusive negotiation period with the 10-1 Curitiba, Brazil fighter ended yesterday and that the parent company of Strikeforce and the UFC failed to come to terms with the Strikeforce women’s middleweight champ before she became a free agent at the stroke of midnight. (CagePotato) There is no competition for Santos at 145, period. The belt is meaningless if there is no one to challenge for it. 135 is much more competitive and I think Strikeforce will focus on that weight class. Shame that the best female MMA fighter in the world can't get a job stateside.
