Although negotiations seem to be going well between Strikeforce and their 145 pound champion Cyborg Santos, leave it to the champ to have a back-up plan.

There were rumors of Cyborg being in talks with the WWE this past spring, which was something that WWE had denied shortly after the story broke. However, in an interview with Sherdog.com, Cyborg stated that she would still be interested in working for the WWE if this whole MMA thing doesn’t pan out.

“I like the WWE. If they had an opportunity for me, I’d do it,” Santos commented to Sherdog.com. “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.”

Strikeforce head Scott Coker has stated that Cyborg is close to being re-sign. However, Cyborg does have offers on the table to fight in her native Brazil later this month and Singapore in September. If Zuffa signs back their champ, expect Cyborg to drop out of these matches and train for a late fall return.
