Marloes Coenen fell short in her first attempt at defeating Cristiane Cyborg. Some saw it as a demolishing of sorts, like in the article from Maggie Hendricks of Yahoo! Sports blog.
While the supposed dominance is debatable, the bout left Coenen searching for answer after a third-round defeat. Now, Coenen is the Invicta FC champion, and Cyborg is once again gunning to dethrone the Dutch veteran.
Coenen is sure to have developed a game plan for their upcoming bout at Invicta 6. Whether or not she has found the answers to unlock the violent puzzle that is Cristiane Justino (formerly Santos) will be noted on Saturday.
Coenen is one of the few women who is unfazed by the sheer power and dominance of Cyborg. The submission artist is stiff competition for the Brazilian striker and is sure to test her cardio and willpower as she pushes the fight deep into the championship rounds.
No matter who wins the event, spectators should expect powerful strikes, intelligent clinch work, explosive ground games and a possibly abrupt finish.
