01:39 PM ET 12.10 | Cristiane Santos was in the mix to become Ronda Rousey's opponent at UFC 157, but her weight cut stalled negotiations. "It was too little time to cut that much weight. I'm heavy, I always was. When I started fighting I weighed 154 pounds, and now I'm about 160 pounds without fighting. Dana already said he will just have the bantamweight division for now. I understand, there are not that many fighters in my division (145 pounds). So I'll make the effort to cut down. Who does not want to fight in the UFC?" Santos said.
