Cris Cyborg Vs. Yoki Takarashi Set For Oct 4th EliteXC

Rafael Cordeiro, one of the head trainers at the legendary Chute Boxe Academy out of Brazil, spoke with TATAME recently and confirmed that Cris Cyborg will face Yoki Takarashi on Oct. 4th when EliteXC and CBS hook up for their third installment of Saturday Night Fights.

Cordeiro tells TATAME:

She’ll be at EliteXC’s October 4th show, again live by CBS, at Florida , against a Japanese fighter, Yoki Takarashi. She’s a very tough fighter and it’ll be a great fight. We signed the contract yesterday and Cris will fight her.

Cyborg burst onto the women's MMA scene at the last CBS card, TKOing Shayna Baszler in devastating fashion.

A future match up with "the face of women's MMA" Gina Carano down the road is most likely the plans for EliteXC, as Carano will face Kelly Kobald on the same card and with wins, the two could hook up down the road in a fight that is sure to be littered with fireworks.

WHY NO CARANO FOR THIS FIGHT?
