By Michael Cooper | Thursday, June 24, 2010, 05:33 PM

Springfield native and Kenton Ridge High School graduate Jan Finney, a women’s MMA fighter, will get a title shot this weekend.

Finney will fight Strikeforce women’s 145-pound champion Brazilian Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos on Saturday’s Showtime-broadcast “Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum” event.

Here’s a story from MMAjunkie.com.

She’s won her last four consecutive fights.

The News-Sun ran several features on Finney in 2008. Here’s how she got her nickname, Cuddles.

Back then, Finney said her secret weapon was her ‘right hand’.
