Former Strikeforce 145lb women's champ Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos has separated from her husband, Strikeforce welterweight Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos according to a report from Brazilian web site UOL Esporte Lutas. UOL posted the following message from Cris to her fans:
After six years of dedication to love and to happiness of marriage, I would like to inform that since December of 2011, Evangelista Cyborg and I are living our lives separately. I'd like to thank all friends for words of support during this period. No matter how hard it feels never give up on your dreams and never give up in love!
A big hug,
Cris
Mrs. Cyborg was suspended and stripped of her title following a drug test failure after her last fight. Mr. Cyborg has lost his last two fights to Nick Diaz and Jordan Mein and has no announced fights coming up. There is no word on who will get the nickname in any potential divorce settlement.
Our best wishes to both fighters during this difficult time.

nastyem - February 6, 2012
on the bright side,
shes single now-who wants some?
gspmademegay - February 6, 2012
Stop daring folks
while you are hiding safely behind your nickname
Ahriman4891 - February 6, 2012
I mean…..GSP IS a ravishingly handsome man…
Krimson - February 6, 2012
That's a chance I'd be willing to take.
HitokiriX - February 6, 2012
when it rains it pours
gxc - February 6, 2012
Rough time for her.
POW - February 6, 2012
Or a good one.
Don’t forget the words of Louis Ck. No good marriage ever ends in divorce.
bigstupidsmile - February 6, 2012
Who gets the nickname in the divorce?
menckenstein - February 6, 2012
Damnit I hit enter too many times and it posted :(
Whoever wins in a fight between them. — GOES UP THERE^^^^
menckenstein - February 6, 2012
I sense that your new sig has weakened you...now is the time to strike.
POW - February 6, 2012
Isn't "unkempt" a great word?
DankNabbot - February 6, 2012
Bud-K has forsaken me... my strength falters
menckenstein - February 6, 2012
All your power is now mine.
POW - February 6, 2012
You can thank me for that gif
I believe it is my handiwork.
Note the shittiness.
TheFilt - February 6, 2012
Evangelista had it 1'st, it should be his IMO
ElliotMatheny - February 6, 2012
I know what happened...
Evangelista got pissed after that fight he won and cyborg pick him up like a child on national TV. He said f*&k it im sick of it !
Incognegro - February 6, 2012
He won a fight?
menckenstein - February 6, 2012
Zaromskis
DL2kold - February 6, 2012 via mobile
apparently..
he was really pissed about that doctored gina carano photo she posted.
fatsamurai - February 6, 2012
But who gets custody
Of the nickname?
OldBoomBap - February 6, 2012
They should fight. Pride rules.
TheLastEmpress - February 6, 2012
Boy, was I late on this one...
OldBoomBap - February 6, 2012
Glad this green caught my eye, or else I'd have been even later than you.
pud333 - February 6, 2012
So she’s available now?
mburtoni - February 6, 2012 via mobile
HEY GUYS
BUT WHO GETS TO BE CALLED CYBORG NOW??? LOL
bigweeze - February 6, 2012
Cris
because she can beat Evangelista up
DK_Monster - February 6, 2012
So she’s available now? (Birdman Handrub)
Krimson - February 6, 2012 via mobile
Go for it. You can be her #1 stunna, all day long...
… Until you piss her off, and she kills you in your sleep.
yonsson - February 6, 2012
Not sure she would have to wait till he fall asleep.
Sweet Scientist - February 6, 2012
It'd just add more to the kink
I like a woman that can kick my ass
Krimson - February 6, 2012
hahaha @ Birdman Handrub

EVANGELISTA discovered that his wife was a man actually:-))
rider68 - February 6, 2012
"No matter how hard it feels never give up on your dreams and never give up in love!"
-Well, you just did.
yonsson - February 6, 2012
I'm intrigued.
Now to learn some Portuguese. And also, to work on some male kegel exercises to ensure that I’m not destroyed in a gender-confused lust tornado with lady Cyborg.
krcampbell - February 6, 2012
ALTHOUGH I WOULD NOT PURSUE A SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH MISS CYBORG I SUPPORT YOU AND WILL TOTALLY BUY YOU AN ALCOHLIC BEVERAGE AFTER YOUR INEVITABLE CONQUEST.
T.C. Engel - February 6, 2012 via mobile
BEST FRIEND, THAT IS A GENEROUS OFFER AND I WOULD BE GLAD TO IMBIBE THE AFOREMENTIONED ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE.
UNFORTUNATELY, I WAS MAKING WHAT WE IN THE INTERNET BUSINESS CALL “A HUMOROUS JOKE”. YOU SEE, I AM PRESENTLY DATING ANOTHER TATTOOED LADY, ONLY THIS ONE DOES NOT HAVE JOKES MADE OF HER GENDER. I FEEL THAT PURSUING SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH FEMALE CYBORG WILL RESULT IN STRAINING MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY CURRENT GAL PAL.
krcampbell - February 6, 2012
Oh yea since the game ended
I forgot to call you a dick and a fucking cheater and I will NEVER play words with friends with you ever again. unless you really want to.
this time, you will be crushed.
HitokiriX - February 6, 2012
Hahahahaha
I don’t cheat at Words With Friends!! I’m just a word game ringer, honest. I’m a huge dork who loves words and owns a Scrabble study guide and plays constantly.
krcampbell - February 6, 2012
I’m the Jon Fitch of words with friends. Small words, get those TW and DW boxes, grind it out and make it generally unpleasant for your opponent. None of my friends want to play with me anymore.
mburtoni - February 6, 2012 via mobile
Remind me, am I playing you?
I forget which of the Bloody Elbanians I’m exactly playing with.
krcampbell24 is my ID.
krcampbell - February 6, 2012
OH FUCK THE DAMN “JOKE” GOT ME AGAIN. I LOOK LIKE AN ASS.
T.C. Engel - February 6, 2012
I AM SO SORRY MY FRIEND
I GUESS I JUST MAKE VERY GOOD JOKES. OR MY JOKES ARE NOT CLEARLY JOKEY ENOUGH SINCE YOU CAN’T DISCERN BETWEEN JOKE AND REALITY. I NEED TO DO SOME SERIOUS SOUL SEARCHING.
krcampbell - February 6, 2012
I DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW TO GO ABOUT THE SEARCHING OF A SOUL BUT IT SOUNDS VERY INTRIGUING.
T.C. Engel - February 6, 2012
I HAVE TO CONSULT MY VOODOO WITCH DOCTOR
HE TYPICALLY ASSISTS ME IN ALL AILMENTS OF THE SOUL. HE OFTEN PRESCRIBES ME CHICKEN SOUP, AS HE SAYS IT IS GOOD FOR THE AFOREMENTIONED SOUL.
krcampbell - February 6, 2012
WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?!
Krimson - February 6, 2012
ElliotMatheny - February 6, 2012
Domestic violence sucks
My heart goes out to Billy!
Akatalinich - February 6, 2012
who?
Rob Young - February 6, 2012 via mobile
I propose an unsactioned off shore-match for the "Cyborg" name...
Winner takes all name and testosterone…
Chris WhiteDynamite Bielanski - February 6, 2012
Aw :\
This is actually sad.
gzl5000 - February 6, 2012
Sounds like not enough steroids in the household for two people.
evenflow10 - February 6, 2012
Lmfao
Never EVER get a significant other’s name tattoo’d on you. You look/feel like a moron when its over. And it will be over one day. People’s attention spans, abundance of options and porn make it impossible these days.
warren305 - February 6, 2012
where does she have his name tattooed on her?
Patrick Hughes - February 6, 2012
Her Forearm
ChillMike - February 6, 2012
That's her name
MemphisMike - February 6, 2012
Confused
warren305 - February 6, 2012
they both have the nickname cyborg
HitokiriX - February 6, 2012
Then I guess the jokes on me
warren305 - February 6, 2012
But Evangelista had it first, right?
Horselover Fat - February 6, 2012
Yes Chris adopted it when she married Evangalista.
ChillMike - February 9, 2012
nope
Patrick Hughes - February 6, 2012
I am confused
StevenGiles - February 6, 2012
So many lame jokes...
Shame on you, BE readers.
Henrique - February 6, 2012
Better than all the other places where “Hahaha they finally had sex and he saw her penis yuck yuck yuck slap BOTH my knees” is frequent. At least BE wants to get wit dat
Krimson - February 6, 2012
They don’t need to fight over the name. One of them just changes their nickname to “Guyborg” simple really. They could even change the tattoo very easily
StevenGiles - February 6, 2012
Probably for the best before they had troll babies
Patrick Hughes - February 6, 2012
Imagine the Newspaper announcement
“We decided to call our little cyborg, Cyborg. Her name will be: Cyborg Cyborg Santos-Cyborg. I know, the hyphen is weird, but we’re just trying to be a new-age couple.”
Body Triangle - February 6, 2012
Name him John Connor
warren305 - February 6, 2012
or T-800
sexysassytravismmafan - February 6, 2012
Kid would be ugly as fuck
but probably tough as all hell.
ElliotMatheny - February 6, 2012
He'd be the next Nick Diaz, pulling fire alarms like nobodys business
Patrick Hughes - February 6, 2012
Post fight hospital scraps all day every day
ElliotMatheny - February 6, 2012
Their children would have hooves
TheDreadedMarco - February 6, 2012
There is no word on who will get the nickname in any potential divorce settlement.
LOL
LenBarson - February 6, 2012
Does anyone know who will get the name in the divorce settlement?
Body Triangle - February 6, 2012
I say this in all sincerity
they actually seemed like a nice couple, in their own weird way. I find myself kind of bummed about the whole thing.
Dave Strummer - February 6, 2012
Same.
gzl5000 - February 6, 2012
Agreed. Tough times for them.
Sweet Scientist - February 6, 2012
His testosterone level just dropped.....
significantly. All jokes aside that sucks for them. They seemed pretty happy when I saw them on screen but I guess in this day and age that means nothing.
fightersvizion - February 6, 2012 via mobile
Kos leaves AKA, the Cyborgs are done...
Talk about MMA splits-ville lately.
pud333 - February 6, 2012
Next thing you know, Arianny and Tiki will be splitting up. If Tiki can’t find love, what chance do normal people like you and I have?!
LenBarson - February 6, 2012
No!!! Tiki and Arianny are FOR REAL
Their love is Disneylove and it will last FOREVER… FOREVER!!!!!
menckenstein - February 6, 2012
Arianny is having sex with another UFC figher.
A REAL one, this time.
krcampbell - February 6, 2012
Matt Riddle?
menckenstein - February 6, 2012
Nope
I’ll give you a hint: rhymes with Schmendan Braub.
krcampbell - February 6, 2012
That little homewrecker!
So… does that mean his fiancee/wife//whatever from TUF countdown show is available? Because I have a Noguiera to introduce her to… GONNA BE IN YOUR HEAD SCHMENDAN BRAUB!
menckenstein - February 6, 2012
jesus christ
she’s drawn to unlikeable douches who have become mma punchlines
Cunny - February 6, 2012
Yeah wtf. Makes me worried for her mental health.
NickRingp4pGOAT - February 7, 2012
Didnt they break up? I was sure that they did. Like a few weeks ago
Jumbo Slice - February 6, 2012
He dumped her.
Paulo Filho's Psychiatrist - February 6, 2012
A separation is a hard thing to go through. The lead up to a divorce.
I’m sure some of you have dealt with it, either with your former spouse or being a child in this situation. It’s not really something to joke about. You guys are turning this into a Mania post. We’re better than that.
kreally - February 6, 2012
Now I feel bad for rec'ing the jokes :(
Sabate - February 6, 2012
no more jokes about anything ever.
Body Triangle - February 6, 2012
I'm not saying no more jokes, I'm saying pick your posts in which to joke about.
Some of these jokes in the Cyborg on steriods post would be funny. However, joking about this being a good thing so that they don’t have kids or about Evangelista supposedly finding out that she’s a “man” when they’re going through such a hard time in their personal lives just seem to be in bad taste.
kreally - February 6, 2012
I have been separated and subscquently participated in a divorce. I am making jokes.
Now you shut up.
krcampbell - February 6, 2012
You shut up.
I was a child when my parents were going through a separation and it was horrifying. I saw my mother cry on multiple occasions, unsure if we were going to lose the house, unsure of my future and why my parents hated each other. If I’m not mistaken, Evangelista’s got a daughter who now has to deal with this.
kreally - February 6, 2012
I wonder if this has anything to do with her positive test?
Did Evangelista maybe give her some vitamin S without her knowledge/permission?
menckenstein - February 6, 2012
I have always suspected that IF she was telling the truth that the as her manager calls the “trusted friend” who gave her the drugs was actually another fighter. If that fighter was mr. Cyborg and he gave her that vitamin S without her knowledge/permission that would put him at 9.95 on the worthless scumbag scale.
jdark - February 6, 2012
that'd be really fucked up
HitokiriX - February 6, 2012
With all due respect to the shitty situation she is going trough
But she looks like she has been juicing for a while now, not just this last fight of her.
Just because she didn’t get caught doesn’t mean she wasn’t using.
krste - February 6, 2012
Her's dammit :)
krste - February 6, 2012
Oh dear...
krste - February 6, 2012
WHO GET BE CYBORG NOW? HAW HAW!
The Hamburger Pimp - February 6, 2012 via mobile
This sucks.
T.C. Engel - February 6, 2012 via mobile
Agreed
All jokes aside, this is very sad. Separation/divorce is very hard and I’d go as far as saying separation is worse. At least with divorce, things reach some kind of finality and both parties can move on. Being separated and trying to repair things is so hard – it’s a terribly sad state of limbo.
krcampbell - February 6, 2012
It’s definitely nothing I’ve ever been involved in, not even as a kid, but I know a lot of friends who have been separated and parents of friends, and it isn’t easy on anyone. They’re in my prayers.
T.C. Engel - February 6, 2012
As a divorced individual, yeah, it sucks.
But what can you do? Ideally, this will result in both Cyborgs being happier apart than they were together. That’s typically the desired result, but easier said than done.
krcampbell - February 6, 2012
FINALLY
I’ll see you on OK Cupid, Chris. :o*
SanFranpsycho - February 6, 2012
The most private thing I’m willing to admit: 1 TIME I TOOK A STEROID BUT PLEESE DON’T TELL GORGE DOD OF THE ATHLETIC COMSION
krcampbell - February 6, 2012
I can't force my brain to envision Cris making the duck lips and holding the camera up at the myspace angle
Sometimes I love my brain
menckenstein - February 6, 2012
lol

Sucks to be her atm. :/
