The first fight between Coenen and “Cyborg was” certainly hard on the durable “Rumina”, who suffered only the second (T)KO loss of her career against the Brazilian in Strikeforce. While the failed drug test in that same promotion cast a shade of doubt over Justiano’s victory over Coenen, it will be interesting to see what new weapons the Golden Glory-trained fighter will bring to bear on her overpowering opponent. While Justiano has improved her BJJ since the two first clashed, gaining a purple belt under Andre Galvao, I can’t help but think that the slick guard game of Coenen may be able to neutralize her this time, and allow the Dutchwoman to even their series at one a piece.
