Gina Carano not yet with Strikeforce, Coker remains positive

It seems Gina Carano and Strikeforce have not yet reached an agreement. But, according to CEO Scott Coker, things are moving forward. Thanks to KJ for alerting us to this article.

‘The Strikeforce head was next asked about the status of WAMMA’s co-No. 1 female fighter at 145 pounds, Carano.

“With Gina, I think you can equate it to a hold out at camp, so to speak,” Coker said. “Camp’s started, the game’s on, and she’s the hold-out.”

Coker went on to state he felt positive that the undefeated “Conviction” would ultimately sign with the growing organization.

“These things happen in this business from time to time,” Coker said. “We’re in dialogue with Matt Walker, [Carano’s] agent. I think things are moving forward, and there is good dialogue. We’re hoping for the best.”

Carano’s fellow top-ranked fighter Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos (6-1) has already signed with Strikeforce and is scheduled to meet Hitomi Akano at the April 11 “Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz.”

Coker is hopeful Carano will be signed in time for the organization’s still-unofficial May event.

“We’re going to invite Gina to fight (in May) if we can put it together,” Coker said.’
