Santos, a winner of nine consecutive fights, won the newly-created Strikeforce women’s middleweight title by crushing Gina Carano last August. She scored a third-round TKO of Marloes Coenen in January.
The women’s title fight is currently planned as the co-main event of the evening. Headlining the card will be a heavyweight bout between Fedor Emelianenko and Fabricio Werdum.
“Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum” takes place at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, and will air on Showtime.
