Strikeforce women’s featherweight champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos (9-1) just watched her husband Evangelista Santos defeat Marius Žaromskis last Wednesday at “Strikeforce: LA” and will fight herself next Saturday against Jan Finney.
In a recent interview with Tatame.com, the female champ talked about her husbands victory as well as her hopes for another knockout victory against Finney.
What did you think of your husband’s win on Strikeforce?
Cyborg has been training a lot, had the opportunity to show his work here and thanks God everything went right… But we hadn’t time to celebrate, because I’m the next one to fight… Let’s celebrate later (laughs).What are your expectations for this fight?
I’m well trained, on the last phase of my preparation. I’ll stick to my game plan, always trying the knockout, but what I want to do it a good fight, the win is just a consequence. I’ll bring this belt home.What do you know about Jan Finney, who will do her debut on this event?
I watched her fights standing, but I’m ready to fight that way and if I have the opportunity to submit her on the ground, I will. I don’t have a plan, I have to feel how things are going during the fight.
Both women will co-headline the “Strikeforce and M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Werdum” event at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Cali. on June 26.
