PrintAfter Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos defeated Marloes Coenen at Strikeforce: Miami eyes immediately turned to Erin Toughill as a possible next contender. FIGHT! Magazine caught up with Toughill and it appears that she is ready to bang dance fight with Santos:
"I have been talking to a lot of people who are very reliable and I know that I will get a warm up fight before Cyborg. Ironically she passed me by the hall tonight and it was very interesting, I don't want to comment more than that."
"I know that it's a fight that I'm going to win, I know that it's a fight that I can win and when the opportunity is given to me I'm going to win in a decisive fashion. Gina, she did great things for the sport. Cyborg has beaten her and has done great things for the sport and there will be somebody after her and that's going to be me."
Toughill also talked to Cage Writer about some of the politicking required when training with men:

I’m excited for this fight as erin has a bg in boxing and has been around longer than cyborg has. She’s a big chick too, I just hope cyborg doesn’t get careless on the standup and sticks and move, or at least some lateral movement or head movement to try to at least not get hit. If Marloes cought cyborg, I’m sure erin will too and perhaps with a lot more power. If cyborg whoops her as, which I’m sure she is. There will probably be no one left. However, I’ll like to see erin tune up fight against gyna, highly unlikely, but would be great.
