SAN DIEGO – Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker has long been a staunch supporter
of women competing in mixed martial arts, and it seems he’s quickly
developing a powerful ally.

UFC President Dana White, who has often expressed concern in regards to
the viability of female MMA, was cageside on Saturday in San Diego to
watch women’s bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey continue her impressive
streak, and Coker believes there should now be little doubt what women
can bring to the sport.

“Female mixed martial arts is here to stay,” Coker said on Saturday.
