Cris "Cyborg" Santos will return to action on to defend her 145-pound Strikeforce title against the Dutch submission specialist, Marloes Coenen, at Strikeforce: "Miami" in Sunrise, Fla. on Jan 30, 2010 .
Cyborg vs. Coenen, along with the Nick Diaz vs. Marius Zaromskis, comprises a pair of title bouts that is slated to headline the first major SHOWTIME fight card of the New Year for the promotion.
Cyborg earned her 145-pound title with the first-round demolition of the female MMA icon, Gina Carano, in August at Strikeforce: "Carano vs. Cyborg." Her first title defense was scheduled to take place at last month's Strikeforce: "Fedor vs. Rogers" event, but a shoulder injury forced her off the fight card.
Coenen has been a top candidate for the title shot for quite some time, and she affirmed her contender status with a 65-second submission victory over Roxanne Modafferi at the Fedor vs. Rogers event.
According to Coenen, "everybody has a flaw in their game. And I've seen flaws in (Cyborg's) game."
Cyborg recently turned heads with her potential appearance in Playboy magazine. Could the distraction stemming from the agonizing decision whether or not to grace the pages of the iconic magazine be a flaw that Coenen can exploit?

Not sure if you were being sarcastic or not....

But I was thinking more along the lines that her wild swinging aggressive style leaves her open to many counters, as well as other things. Let’s hope Cyborg doesn’t weigh that 20 lb lead bikini to the weigh-ins again.

hopefully her husband doesnt read this but she is fucking ugly
that chick doesnt stand a chance. No muscle at all. Looks like someones mom.
Marloes probly has the best chance at beating Cyborg right now.
She’s not as durable and gritty as Toughill but her grappling is off the charts and more than enough to sub out everyone in the division. She will either gets massively abused or pulls off something slick.

Playboy...
I would wait in line in front of Barnes and Noble for a week to see a Gina Carano Playboy shoot.
Cyborg? It actually grosses me out. I’d look at the pics for the same reason you slow down to look at a car crash.

She doesnt look like she’s roided out anymore. She actually looks like a woman.. kinda
perhaps a woman from Siberia
and you have to remove clothing to be certain it is a woman…..in Cyborg’s case, it will be will be a reanactment of the crying game…
