Marloes Coenen wants to play spoiler to Cristiane ‘Cyborg’ Santos’ comeback

• Cyborg vs. Coenen II: for revenge and a belt

Marloes Coenen will be out for revenge when she enters the cage July 13 against Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos at Invicta FC 6, at the Ameristar Casino. That’s more than hype-video fodder – though it is the title of one video – for the 32-year-old Dutch submission specialist.

In March 2010, Coenen lost to Cyborg by a third-round TKO. Cyborg lived up to her moniker, coming at Coenen like a Terminator and unleashing a barrage of fists. Coenen would later say she had never been hit harder. She admittedly underestimated Cyborg’s strength. She won’t this time around.

“I know what to expect right now,” Coenen tells The Pitch in a Skype interview during a break from her training in the Netherlands. “So I won’t be overwhelmed by her and the terror she brings upon me.”
