Once one of the most-followed mixed-martial-arts fighters of any gender, Gina Carano has all but disappeared from the public eye following her August 2009 Strikeforce title loss to Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos and subsequent acting gig.
Though she isn’t booked for any upcoming shows, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker told MMAjunkie.com he hopes to have her back shortly.
“We will be reaching out to her soon,” Coker said. “She’s still part of the family.
“We miss you Gina.”
Despite a now-near-yearlong layoff since the loss to Cris Santos spoiled Carano’s perfect 7-0 record, Carano remains a top draw, and the 28-year-old certainly would be a welcome addition to any of Strikeforce’s upcoming CBS-televised cards.
But as of now, her return date is unknown.
