Gina Carano always has home with Strikeforce, but no return date in sight

Once one of the most-followed mixed-martial-arts fighters of any gender, Gina Carano has all but disappeared from the public eye following her August 2009 Strikeforce title loss to Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos and subsequent acting gig.

Carano, who appears in famed director Steven Soderbergh’s 2011 film release “Knockout,” hasn’t fought professionally since that loss, which was the first of her career.

And though she isn’t booked for any upcoming shows, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker told MMAjunkie.com he hopes to have her back shortly.
