One of the top female MMA fighters in the world, Christiane “Cyborg” Santos, recently spoke to Sherdog.com and revealed that she’s very interested in crossing over to the world of pro wrestling and working for WWE when her fighting career is over.
“I like the WWE. If they had an opportunity for me, I’d do it.”
When her contract with the Strikeforce MMA promotion expired earlier this year, it was widely reported that Cyborg was considering a move to WWE. This rumors picked up more traction when she and her husband Evangelista Santos attended a live WWE event in California. Brazilian MMA website Tatame.com reported that Cyborg was negotiating to appear at WrestleMania, but WWE sources denied there were any negotiations.
At this time, Cyborg has decided to continue her MMA career and has put her WWE aspirations on the back burner.
“I was interested in doing [more than one event] with the WWE, but now I’m fighting again, so I’m going to do that.”
“Since my last fight was finished, I’ve been trying to work on a new contract [with Strikeforce]. It’s almost done, almost done.”
Cyberg’s current Strikeforce deal expires in December, which does leave the door open for her to work with WWE some time in 2012.
