‘Cyborg’ Santos happy for second chance ahead of Invicta FC 6 fight with Coenen

Cristiane Santos knows a thing or two about second chances. She’s in the middle of one right now, and she hopes it culminates with another world title. Santos (11-1) on Saturday meets Marloes Coenen (21-5) in a rematch at Invicta FC 6 – and Invicta’s featherweight title will be on the line. It will be just the second fight for “Cyborg” since returning to action after a 16-month layoff that included a suspension following a positive steroids test that led to her being stripped of her Strikeforce title. But with Invicta, where she won her first fight back from the layoff with a first-round TKO of Fiona Muxlow in April, “Cyborg” feels rejuvenated – and happy for another opportunity. Invicta FC 6 takes place Saturday at Ameristar Casino Hotel in Kansas City, Mo.

UFC middleweight contender Vitor Belfort (23-10 MMA, 12-6 UFC) heard Dana White’s explanation for why a rematch with Anderson Silva (33-4 MMA, 16-0 UFC) might not happen, but he’s not buying the logic for one second. “It’s incredible how it seems as though Anderson is the one picking his opponents,” Belfort told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). “My spot is the highest of any division contender in the UFC, and it is only logical and fair for me to be given a shot at the title. “Why is it that I don’t have a title shot? Just because one time, Anderson happened to land a kick? I can assure you that given a second chance, that would never happen again.” UFC middleweight champion Silva headlines this weekend’s UFC 162 in event at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena, where he defends the belt against undefeated challenger Chris Weidman (9-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC)
