No future fight date or opponent has been announced by Strikeforce officials as of this writing.
The 26-year-old Brazilian champion is considered by many to be the number one pound-for-pound women's mixed martial artist in the world. Santos has won ten straight fights -- finishing eight before the final bell -- including a 2009 first round knockout of Gina Carano that held the Strikeforce-Showtime ratings record for two years. The bout drew 576,000 viewers and marked the first-ever all-female headlining event for a nationally broadcast MMA promotion within the United States.
Santos last fought in June of 2010, defeating Jan Finney with a brutal knee to the body in the second round to retain the Strikeforce women's featherweight championship.
