On Aug. 15, 2009 Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos beat Gina Carano in Strikeforce’s event held in California.  That was Carano’s first MMA loss.  She is known by many as “The Face of Women’s MMA” and she still is even though Cyborg beat her down…

Up and rising, Cris Cyborg is making her first title defense January 30th at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida against Marloes Coenen.  Her only loss was against Erica Paes due to knee bar.  During the fight, it’s looks as if Cyborg went to pass her guard, and that’s when Erica went for the knee bar.  Cris Cyborg recently competed in the Abu Dhabi which was held in Barcelona, Spain.  She took 3rd in the women’s + 60 kg.  Needless to say Cyborg is an animal and a true competitor in Mixed Martial Arts.

Marloes Coenen recently stated that everybody has flaws, and she has seen Cyborg’s.  Even though Cyborg is now considered the best in the World, Coenen believes that this is her chance to beat Cyborg and become the best. Coenen is Strikeforce’s Number 1 female contender and she has 17 wins and 3 losses.  I think that this will be a good fight!

I look up to females who are involved in Mixed Martial Arts.  I think that we have a lot to offer and it’s no different from the males fighting.  I am more than sure that there are women out there who can take on the men.  It is a good form of self defense and a great way to get in shape.
