The #1 Female Fighter is now a Free Agent.

By: CombatChaz on Friday, July 1, 2011

Looks like Cris Cyborg is now a free agent, according to Cagepotato.com:

"Cris “Cyborg” Santos is officially a free agent, which either means that Strikeforce was unwilling to pay her what she felt she was worth, or that Zuffa has decided against continuing to promote women’s MMA under the SF banner. Either way, it’s a blow to the promotion’s women’s division."

Is Strikeforce gonna dump women? This seems like a very poor move if they plan on having lady fights.

Bummer; she's a good fighter and it will be hard to see her if she goes elsewhere.

Could they have dumped becuse she was that good and would make the womens divsion look bad. Most of the NORMAL mma mans would not know her name or miss her. I could see this as a reason thoughts?

No women's divisions in the ufc. What a blow to the martial arts community! I'd rather watch two women fight for real than two men fight for round points.

Probably just a contract or $$$ issue. Read somewhere that she was thinking about boxing due to lack of opponents to fight.
