In an interview she did this week with TATAME, Strikeforce featherweight champ Cristiane Santos revealed a bit of insight into the plans the promotion has for its women’s division.

According to “Cyborg,”
the Zuffa-owned organization has asked her to drop down to 135
following her December 17 title defense against Hiroko Yamanaka as they
are looking to do away with the 145-pound class since they can’t find
anyone to face her. On the bright side, Santos says she’s lucky that
Strikeforce is accommodating the women on its roster considering UFC
president Dana White’s thoughts on female MMA.

“I signed the contract for these four fights after UFC purchased
Strikeforce, so I guess they’ll keep us, they’ll keep the female
divisions and female MMA keeps growing and growing, and I guess they’re
keeping the girls and it depends on what we do to call UFC’s attention,”
Santos explains. “[As of right now there] are still two weight
divisions: 135lbs and 145lbs.”

The 26-year-old Brazilian, who already cuts a massive amount of
weight to make 145, says she’ll have her work cut out for her dropping
another 10 pounds, but she’s willing to give it a shot if it means
keeping her job.

“It’s already hard for me to drop to 145lbs, I gotta work a lot and
they’re thinking about one division only. They asked me if I could do
it. I can try; it’s not impossible. Let’s see… I guess that in the
future there’ll be some news,” she predicts. “It’ll be hard because I
got a lot of weight to lose, but it’d be good because I could fight
more. I guess it’s important to keep active, it’s my job, so I’ll try it
to stay here.”

In other news, the whole Strikeforce women’s 135-pound division announced today that it will be dropping to 125.

I say put Cris
in with some of the men her size and see how she does if they can’t
find women to fight her. The only problem with that plan that is they’d
probably give Kenny Florian an immediate title shot at the new unisex belt.

She has a hard time cutting to 145, WTF?!

yeah it's bullshit if you ask me. i wish zuffa would let go of SF so bellator can acquire all these ladies and have a stacked WMMA roster. at least then they'd be able to fight more than once a year.

Are they going to ask Gina to move to 135 as well? The only reason they made 145 was because Gina and Cyborg can barely make that, let alone 135.

Miesha Tate and Sarah Kaufman are saying "yeah, Cyborg shouldnt move to 135"

27 months since Gina last fought. At some point soon we all need to face facts.
