Cris Cyborg defends the Women's title!
Wow. A LOT better than I thought. Even though on paper it looks like Coenen didn’t do anything, she did A LOT. I am not sure if it was the subs or the GnP, but she did enough to hurt Cyborg on the ground. As long as she was on top of Cyborg on the ground, she was winning this fight. Cyborg got up in the first, and fought back. The play by play says she won the round, but I think it was really damned close. Possibly a Coenen round even. Round 2 Coenen could not get an effective takedown game going, and just got pummelled the whole time. She has RIDICULOUS KO resistance and toughness. She took almost as much as the toughest of tough men on this site. Like, Sakuraba and Hendo levels of toughness. I was very impressed, to be honest. I think her key is evolving her control and ground game some.

Cris Cyborg defends the Women's title!
Wow. A LOT better than I thought. Even though on paper it looks like Coenen didn’t do anything, she did A LOT. I am not sure if it was the subs or the GnP, but she did enough to hurt Cyborg on the ground. As long as she was on top of Cyborg on the ground, she was winning this fight. Cyborg got up in the first, and fought back. The play by play says she won the round, but I think it was really damned close. Possibly a Coenen round even. Round 2 Coenen could not get an effective takedown game going, and just got pummelled the whole time. She has RIDICULOUS KO resistance and toughness. She took almost as much as the toughest of tough men on this site. Like, Sakuraba and Hendo levels of toughness. I was very impressed, to be honest. I think her key is evolving her control and ground game some.
