According to MMAJunkie Cyborg Santos won’t be defending the Strikeforce Women’s Title she won against Gina Carano following a recent injury:
Cyborg Hurt, Won’t Fight In November

↵“It’s unlikely that Cris will be fighting on [Nov. 7] but still possible,” her manager, Richard Wilner, told MMAjunkie.com.
↵The Nov. 7 Strikeforce event takes place at the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Ill. (near Chicago) and kicks off a multi-fight deal between Strikeforce and CBS. Strikeforce officials hoped to build off the momentum Santos built with her first-round TKO of Gina Carano in August. But the Brazilian fighter has been slowed by injury and probably won’t be cleared for the nationally televised event.

↵It’s a blow but not a major one to the November event. We’ll see what Strikeforce chooses to put on the main card in her place but I would assume they’ll try to build a credible female challenger.
