Marloes Coenen is the new Strikeforce women’s welterweight champion, after submitting the previously undefeated Sarah Kaufman on Saturday night.
Coenen put on a good show throughout, doing well in the stand-up game in the early going and then finishing the fight with one of her trademark submissions from her back. Coenen was already prepared to promote her next fight afterward, saying to Strikeforce’s No. 1 contender, Miesha Tate, “Let’s get it on.”
