Cristiane Santos is in business, building a successful debut with the Kansas City-based all-female MMA campaign, Invicta Fighting Championships. As her opponent was pummeled by her from bell to bell over three minutes and 46 seconds making a hostile first-round technical knockout success against Australian fighter Fiona Muxlow, there is no mercy given by "Cyborg" Santos. With the victory, Cyborg obtains himself an attempt at becomingAInvicta FC's first featherweight champion. That fit is prepared to take place in a few months, as Cyborg will assumedly compete in a against one-time Strikeforce opponent Marloes Coenen, whom Cyborg defeated in January 2010 all through her first title defense. And also this represents Cyborg's first MMA attack since December 17, 2011, when she beat Hiroko Yamanaka in a third straight effective protection of the Strikeforce Women's Featherweight Championship. Unfortuitously, the Brazilian's 11th straight win was overturned in to a "no contest" following aApositive check for anabolic steroids, causing a year-long suspension. Cyborg had recently been in talks to set up a with UFC women's bantamweight star Ronda Rousey, but talks broke down when Cyborg (and her boss, Tito Ortiz) insisted that slicing down to 135 pounds was from the issue. Rousey also refused to go up to 140 pounds for a catchweight bout, forcing CyborgAto contact her rival a "bitch"Ain a heated communication over Instagram. But regrettably for Ortiz and Cyborg, actually UFC president Dana White statedAthat a battle at 140 pounds wouldn't make sense, with Rousey while the 135-pound winner and the UFC currently not hosting any other female weight classes: It's not just a title fight. If that's what [Cyborg] is willing to do is go to 140, let's let Ronda defend her name a few times and if Ronda needs to go to 140 see. She probably would anyway, so let us see what happens, If I know Ronda. But when [Cyborg] really wants to fight for a and have a title fight, she's to attend 135 pounds. A fight at 140 will be a lover fight because everyone wants to see it, but it is not merely one of sense that is made by those fights. Ultimately, Cyborg requested her release from the UFC totally, relatively abandoning any thought of fighting Rousey in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, not really a single reference to the UFC's women's bantamweight champion was produced during Cyborg's post-fight interview, as she simply thanked God and the Kansas City audience, who cheered the former champion in her return session.
