Cris Cyborg to Fight Marloes Coenen on Strikeforce Miami This Saturday

by Lisa Creech Bledsoe on January 28, 2010 · 2 comments

Christiane “Cyborg” Santos is on an eight-fight winning streak and plans to take down Marloes Coenen in Miami this weekend just as quickly as she took down Gina Carano in San Jose last August. Cyborg has an incredible strike game (look for one-hit knockout power) and you can expect her to dominate on the ground. Coenen is no slouch on the mat either; her armbar on Roxanne Modafferi in November (see video below) was no fluke.

This is going to be an awesome match-up, and I plan to be glued to Strikeforce’s Showtime stream this weekend making sure I get to see every second. I’ll be tuning in this Saturday, January 30th at 10 pm ET on sports.sho.com or EASportsMMA.com or wherever I can get the channel for the livestream.

Currently I’m favoring Marloes Coenen (17-3) over Cyborg (8-1), but this is going to be such a good match that I’m hesitant to declare loyalty one way or the other. But I will anyway; I like to cheer for the underdog.

Here’s the broadcast card:

Championship: Nick Diaz vs. Marius Zaromskis
Championship: Cristiane Santos vs. Marloes Coenen
Melvin Manhoef vs. Robbie Lawler
Herschel Walker vs. Greg Nagy
Bobby Lashley vs. Wes Sims

Bad Blood Fight Happens Without Hernandez

December 5, 2009

It’s hard to tell exactly what happened, but in the end Melissa “Huracan” Hernandez did not fight Holly Holm last night as expected. Instead, Victoria Cisneros (3-8-2), a local Albaquerque Jr. Welterweight was pulled from the audience to take Hernandez’s place in the fight. Cisneros lost the fight but made a fair showing.
Hernandez released a [...]

Ultimate Fighting: Female Boxing

November 11, 2009

I watched it, but I have no idea who this DVD was made for. You might think it was me: boxing + women, with sort of and “underground” feel — potentially cool, right? I dunno.
Apparently, a bunch of crazy women with no fight training signed as many waivers as it took to get in a [...]

Modafferi vs. Coenen Pre-Fight Interviews

November 7, 2009

Assuming the main card runs short and CBS airs it, we’ll get to watch Roxanne Modafferi fight Marloes Coenen live at 9 pm on the East coast (delayed for the Pacific coast, who will probably see it sooner on YouTube) on CBS.com.

Roxanne Modafferi is my favorite to win, although a little part of that simply [...]

Flight Fight Sports

November 5, 2009

It’s Google’s fault. I typed in “fight sports” and they asked, in that oh-so-superior voice, “Did you perhaps mean FLIGHT sports, Hon?”
No, you morons. I might misspell Hervé Villechaize but I’ve GOT this one, thanks. Sheez.
Anyway, I posted the error to Facebook, and suddenly a Flight Fight meme was born. Matt, the joker, thought of [...]

Roy Nelson Defeats Kimbo Slice

October 1, 2009

I’m new to MMA, and to look at these two fighters, I immediately picked Kimbo Slice — in all his big, cut, scary glory — as the potentially superior fighter to fat-bellied Roy Nelson. Nelson has skinny arms, less reach, more gut, and he just screams “redneck.” Of course Slice (whose real name is Kevin [...]

Christy Martin Breaks Hand, Wins Title

September 3, 2009

Last Saturday at Battle at the Expo 2 the announcer brought my trainer into the ring between fights to tell the world that Bonnie “Queen B” Mann planned to come out of retirement, and might be able to get a fight with three-time world title holder Christy Martin, whose record was 48-5-3 until this week.
