Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos will appeal her one-year license suspension at the California State Athletic Commission’s next meeting on April 9.
CSAC Executive Director George Dodd confirmed the news on Monday with MMAjunkie.com, though he said the agenda for the meeting hasn’t been set.
Santos was suspended less than a month ago after her victory over Hiroko Yamanaka at “Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Masvidal” when a pre-fight drug test came back positive for steroid metabolites.
