“I’m very happy! I was ready to face the five rounds, I was ready to face the crowd, I was ready to face Gina — I was ready for everything. I prefer Muay Thai but if I need to go to the ground then I’ll go to the ground. Whoever Scott Coker puts in [the cage] to face me, I’ll face, but if Gina wants a rematch, she can have a rematch — no problem at all. I think [the stoppage] was right. The judge’s showed a little sign that said 4:59 seconds and I think the stoppage was good for Gina’s health.” mma.fanhouse.com
"She can keep the title of 'The Face of Women's MMA' because I have [the Strikeforce] title here," Santos said through an interpreter at the evening's post-event press conference. mmajunkie.com
But the result raises another question: Where will the women’s sport wind up when its top fighter is a non-English speaking Brazilian who looks like she’s right off the pages of Flex Magazine instead of an American like Carano, who finished No. 16 in Maxim’s list of hottest women on the planet?

Whenever she gets back in the cage, she remains a main attraction. She is still extremely marketable and will have no trouble drawing attention from the media. Sure, Strikeforce would be better off with Carano as the 145-pound women's champion, but with Cyborg's win coupled with Gegard Mousasi's dominant victory over Renato "Babalu" Sobral, Strikeforce was able to showcase a pair of fighters it can build around for the future. mma.fanhouse.com
‘Wow! Gegard Mousasi is the real deal’, is the sentiment currently rippling throughout the world of mixed martial arts as the M-1 Global signed fighter put a vicious beating on Renato “Babalu” Sobral to claim the Strikeforce light heavyweight championship. fiveouncesofpain.com
The MMA world may be buzzing over Gegard Mousasi's impressive Strikeforce light heavyweight title victory over Renato Sobral on Saturday night, but Mousasi told FanHouse moments after the win that he still thinks he has a long way to go before being considered one the best 205-pounders in the world. mma.fanhouse.com
"It's probably going to be in November," Coker said of Emelianenko's organizational debut. "I definitely think there's two guys here that would be a quality opponent for Fedor. mmajunkie.com
"Of course I want to fight Fedor because everybody knows that Fedor is the best," Werdum told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) through his interpreter. "I want to fight Fedor." mmajunkie.com
"It feels great, it definitely feels real good coming back and winning that," Melendez commented about the win. "I’m a different fighter right now. I'm focused, I'm motivated, I can't guarantee victory, but I guarantee I'll always come out and perform for you." mmaweekly.com
Couture joined EA Sports president Peter Moore for a press conference in San Jose, Calif., in which "The Natural" was officially announced as an "important part" of the software developer's 2010 MMA-themed video game, tentatively titled "EA Sports MMA." mmajunkie.com
"Marloes Coenen is the real deal," Coker said. "Can you imagine her and 'Cyborg' in a fight? ... [Coenen] might be fighting Cristiane 'Cyborg' next, or she might go in the tournament." mmajunkie.com
