LAS VEGAS – In MMA, especially with smaller promotions, an entire division can be propped up by a single dominant fighter.
However, with Strikeforce’s women’s 145-pound division, could the loss of its champion and pound-for-pound queenpin actually save it?
On Saturday Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker said Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos’ yearlong suspension for a failed drug test could actually result in an influx of talent and perhaps event a brighter future for the division.
