Cris ‘Cyborg’ Santos has announced today that she has split up from her husband of six years, fellow Strikeforce fighter Evangelista ‘Cyborg’ Santos.

“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”
