After another of Cris Cyborg's victories I asked rhetorically over Twitter who's next. Well after I went to bed, Strikeforce president Scott Coker said Erin Toughill is likely next for the seemingly invincible women's champion.
Junkie's man in Miami, Dann Stupp, has the story. Figure on the fight happening late spring-early summer since it's too early for April's CBS show. I did notice a lack of a buzz during Cyborg's third-round TKO over Marloes Coenen, but that's because Coenen isn't Gina Carano. Neither Coenen nor Toughill is a media darling, but both are tough and relentless, with the latter providing the ideal size and strength challenge Cyborg needs.
As for Coenen, she will be back. Another two wins or so and I see her getting a rematch. There's nothing she did to lose that fight. Cyborg - again - did everything to win a fight.
