Cris Cyborg Santos is the newest female superstar in MMA who was very impressive defeating Shayna Baszler in her first fight for EliteXC which was also nationally televised on CBS.Now it appears that she will make another appearance on CBS "Saturday Night Fights" for EliteXC, but it won't be against Gina Carano like the fans would've hoped for. Instead Cris Cyborg will be facing Japanese fighter Yoko Takahashi a veteran out of the G -Shooto and DEEP organizations. Cyborg's trainer Rafael Cordeiro talked about the fight in an interview with Tatame.com saying that Cyborg accepted and will be on the next EliteXC on CBS event in October.
This would than add another good female bout with Gina Carano also competing on the upcoming televised bout and I'm pretty sure both of these fighters will put up great performances.
