Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos to WWE rumors are unsurprisingly false
As I figured might happen yesterday, Dave Meltzer is saying at Yahoo Sports that Cristiane Santos isn't jumping from Strikeforce to WWE.

A look at why the Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos to WWE rumors seem strange
The idea that Cristiane Santos (better known as Cyborg to just about everyone) would try to negotiate with WWE doesn't necessarily surprise me. That people are claiming to reporters that it's actually close to happening is where I'm thrown. I don't want to delve into the obvious parts too much but...
Will 2011 be the Year Strikeforce Creates a Superstar?

What's the Future for Women's MMA?
Our own Jonathan Snowden says that after Carano-Cyborg, there's no place else to go. Strikeforce has devoted almost no time or effort into creating a new crop of contenders.
