According to Michael David Smith Gina Carano and Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino have committed to fight each other and have plans on ending up in the same organization soon.
Since Zuffa seems to be stuck in the 40’s and does not want to see two female athletes mix it up, the fight will happen in a less than major promotion. Rumors and innuendo point to Strikeforce.
Strikeforce is a mainstay in MMA but have never reached or even really strived to be a mainstream organization. Happy to be a distant second to the Zuffa based promotions Strikeforce is the underground record company that creates artists and prepares them for the mainstream. Akin to Sub Pop records that bred future giants Sound Garden, Nirvana and the Smashing Pumpkins.
Most MMA fans are just looking forward to a good fight. Opposed to the Neanderthal mind set many mainstream observers think of the sport and its fans, most of us are forward thinking people who are not hung up on things like sex or race. We applaud great athletes taking part in the most basic and ancient of sports.
According to Mr. Smith the fight may happen on one of the NBC live aired Strikeforce events.
As far as rumors go I wish this to be true more than most.
