"Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker pledged a commitment to the women’s divisions. He negotiated a deal with Showtime to run a couple of tournaments, which would build contenders for both the 135-pound weight class, as well as the 145-pound division.
Coker didn’t confirm or deny Carano’s potential participation in the 145-pound competition, and said he would speak to her camp to see if she would like to take part in it.
Cyborg’s next contender may come out of the 145-pound tournament, which would have a similar feel to a tournament held in Japan.
“We’ll start with eight fighters,” Coker said. “The winners would go to a second show, where we’ll have the semifinals and finals. The winner of the tournament would become the top contender for Cyborg.”
