Cris Cyborg not likely next opponent for Ronda Rousey

Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker told MMAjunkie.com on Thursday.
 "I think it's something that will happen. And when Cyborg gets off suspension, the conversation is going to get very, very real about putting that fight together because I think that's the fight everyone wants to see."
"I'm sure Ronda would like to fight before that. She barely broke a sweat in her last fight. It's something where she's been dominant and she's going to want to fight, I think, before Cyborg can actually get back in the cage off the suspension."

"That's something we're working on internally. We haven't flushed it out 100 percent because Ronda just fought. We're going to have some serious conversations about the next move. But my feeling is she's going to want to compete before Cyborg is able to compete."

The obvious question is who, and an obvious answer is Sara McMann, who recently signed with Strikeforce, and is expected to fight in the Nov. 3 fight card in Oklahoma.
Both fighters are 6-0 as pros and Olympic medalists (McMann a silver for wrestling in 2004, Rousey a bronze for Judo in 2008).
