Not only did Cristiane "Cris Cyborg" Santos‘s drubbing of Gina Carano at the last Strikeforce event bring heaps of attention to women’s MMA, but it also made Chute Boxe relevant again. Though the Brazilian fight camp used to be a fearsome presence in the PRIDE era, it fell out of favor as its biggest stars all left to start their own teams. Now, Cris Cyborg is one of the most compelling champions in the sport, and Chute Boxe founder Rudimar Fedrigo is rewarding her with her own school. As he told Portal das Lutas:
Could we see a rebirth of Chute Boxe’s axe-murdering brawl-’til-you-fall style in the U.S.? And with Cris Cyborg as the face of the camp in America, will other female fighters be lured to Chute Boxe? No American MMA team is specifically known for producing great women fighters. It’ll be interesting to see if the Cyborgs recognize this opportunity and seize it.

If she focuses on training with women, that's just opportunity for more fights that will never happen. "I don't want to fight her, we train together, she's my sister."

I think the Cyborgs had best learn how to speak English before trying to run a business in the US.

This is 'merica, she better speak 'merican! It'd be nice to see if she could really help fill the feminine ranks. So who would win, Cyborg or Jens Pulver? I'm leaning Cyborg.

I want to see Cris fight Wanderlei at a catch-weight of 180 pounds.

How is Cyborg supposed to keep it in his pants surrounded by all that hot pussy?

I was going to sign up for the gym until I discovered the locker area is co-ed. There's just some things best left to the imagination.
