Following a third round TKO of Takashi Sugiura (above) in his MMA debut at Sengoku V, BJJ champion Xande Ribeiro tells Tatame that he may be ready to return to action as soon as November.
"I don’t know yet (about his next fight), but I might be back in November. I’ll rest this week, train another three and fight again... There are a lot of good guys in Sengoku in this division… I wanna get stronger for this weight."
World Victory Road's Sengoku VI is scheduled for November 1st.

![Jorge Santiago In Talks With Strikeforce:
Portal das Lutas – Are you happy in Japan?
Jorge Santiago – I’m stoked in Japan and intend to stay there a good while. I haven’t fought in the United States since 2007, but now with Pezao [Antonio Silva], who also fights in Sengoku, we now have a good opening in Strikeforce. That’s something we started talking about last week and, if all goes well, I’ll start fighting in two countries. It could be I get a shot at Strikeforce, if just because the event will let me fight in Japan too, so I’ll be able to fight the whole year.](http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/80113/sf-071116-santiago_small.jpg)
!["I still don't have a definite opponent. The first name that showed up was [Kazuo] Misaki, which would be a rematch, but now they're looking for another Japanese for me to fight. I'm waiting, training for whoever shows up."
