Last night, Dutch submission specialist Marloes Coenen challenged Sarah Kaufman for the Strikeforce welterweight title at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California, on the Showtime portion of Saturday night's Strikeforce: Diaz vs. Noons II card.
In the first round, Marloes stayed on her feet and went toe to toe with Sarah who is known as a striker. Marloes being four inches taller than Sarah helped her stand up game.
In the second round, Sarah managed to reverse a takedown attempt and fight off an arm bar.

Doing as much work on Female MMA Hubs and blogs as I do, I really appreciated the WAMMA Women’s Mixed Martial Arts Rankings.
It broke down the fighters by weight class, and gave a pretty good idea of where they stood in the rankings.
But now the WAMMA Women’s Rankings has been superseded by The Unified Women’s Mixed Martial Arts Rankings.

On January 30th, 2010 the Bankatlantic Center in Sunrise Florida will host the female mixed martial arts version of Tyson vs Holyfield as Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos takes on Marloes "Rumina" Coenen.
This fight may not have the glitz and glamor that the Santos vs Carano match-up had, but something tells me it's gonna be a better fight.
