On this past Friday’s new edition of “Inside MMA” on HDNet, the results of one such poll were revealed. And Carano had the slight edge.

Tens of thousands of votes were cast, and 53 percent of them went to Carano. Santos picked up the other 47 percent.

Last month, Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker seemed confident the fight will happen under his fight banner. And as MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) reported, it will have title implications.

“That’s going to be the No. 1 and the No. 2 female fighting in the world,” Coker said. “It will be our first Strikeforce female title belt. We’re going to be proud to put that on, and hopefully we can put that on in August.

“That’s our date we’re shooting for, and pending some discussion with either fighter it could go further. But at some point we will have this fight. I feel very confident.”
