MMA Quick Quote: Marloes Coenen doesn't want to roll with Meisha Tate

"I thought it would become a brawl. The strategy was to get into it. It didn't happen. I don't know why. Maybe she didn't want to exchange punches much. At the start of the third, my trainer told me to give her a straight punch and go for a takedown. I do what he tells me.... Like I said before, winning the world title can be a life-changing thing for me.... Miesha won the tournament, she’s a great grappler and obviously very good. I will definitely have to stand with her. For tonight’s fight, I worked very hard. This is an unbelievable feeling."
-- Newly-crowned Strikeforce 135-pound queenpin, Marloes Coenen, reflects on her big win last night over the previously undefeated Sarah Kaufmann, which she secured with a third round armbar submission. And she's already got her mind set on defending her latest accessory, talking about her keys to victory over her next likely opponent, Meisha Tate. "Takedown" -- who recently won a four-woman, one-night 135-pound elimination tournament earlier this year -- is a fantastic wrestler who can serve up a healthy dose of ground and pound if and when she gets her opponents horizontal. Is this a classic style match up between two of the world's best (and hottest) female fighters on the planet or does one of them have a clear cut advantage inside the cage?

Nice picture, James.
Made my ending night.

"The NOGs are DONE, A.SIlva is on his way OUT, and bagged milk is the WORST idea since frozen FISH STICKS" Paying a stupid pick on Lil Nog vs Ryan Bader. Congrats Californication.
This picture makes her look decent last night(like usual) she looks fugly
Marloes can beat her standing or on the ground but keeping it standing is the obvious smart choice considering Tates standup is not anywhere near as good as Marloes.
If you dont like drugs then dont do them.....give them to me!
Sarah pulled a fedor imo
shoulda known better
ya marloes looked good
plus you could tell she was so much bigger than kaufman
never have any regrets, because at the time, thats all you wanted to do
Just wonderin....

Thought she had something to say,clearly not!
"Hey, you got knocked out in the 3rd round, what happened there?"
Well, it's still a little hazy, but I believe that other gentleman was punching me in the face, and then I fell over??

I like Marloes attitude. I like these two fighters very much.
I’d hate to see either of them lose but I think Marloes will beat Meisha Tate. Her Stand up is way better but if Meisha can stay out the subs, she can definitely win i just dont think she’ll be able to
I am pleasantly surprised with the women.
They seem to put on better fights than most of the ufc’s cards lately.
Forget about winning and losing; forget about pride and pain. Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh; let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones; let him fracture your bones and you take his life. Do not be concerned with escaping safely ...lay your life before him- Bruce Lee

I know this is being pedantic and all but...
Her name is spelt “Miesha”, not “Meisha”.

Does anyone know if Carano quit fighting?
Or what happened to Carano?
The bottom line is Chael Sonnen is an insecure individual.. P.S Hey does this shirt make me look fat?
Gina is a Movie Star now
She’s currently filming “Haywire” with director Stephen Soderbergh (Ocean’s 11, Traffic, etc). This is a big budget action flick that co-stars Michael Douglas, Ewan McGregor, Antonio Banderas, etc. From what I’ve read, they are trying to make GIna into a female Jason Bourne. If this movie is successful, I doubt she goes back to fighting.
