Marloes Coenen pulls out quick win over Roxanne Modafferi

By Maggie Hendricks

As usual, female fighters don't disappoint. After Marloes Coenen landed a few beautiful kicks, Roxanne Modafferi took her down. Coenen quickly rolled Modafferi, throwing an armbar. Modafferi tapped out at 1:05 in the first round. This was Coenen's first win over Modafferi, with Roxy coming away with the earlier win coming by split decision in 2007.

Coenen will reportedly go on to face Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos for the Strikeforce women's title. Though she was impressive tonight, it's hard to judge if the Dutch kickboxer will be able to stop Cyborg's incredible power.

    Marloes is one of the best unknown fighters out there ! All the hype was on Carano , but Marloes is very well rounded and of a more reasonable size VS Santos.

    female fighters are lame, but to answer the question yes you can watch any ppv on the internet. after it has run on tv, go to justin.tv and someone will be replaying it. i haven't paid for a ppv in 6 months.
