Coenen wants to prove WMMA makes money

 LowKick.com: As someone who fought in MMA for well-over 10 years now, what’s your thoughts on the future of Women’s MMA, especially in light of ZUFFA purchasing Strikeforce?



Marloes Coenen: The fact that Zuffa has made us co-mail event, while they didn't had to do that, is for me a good token. We girls have to prove that we can bring in enough money to be a legit part of the Zuffa family. As it's not a non-profit organization, money has to be made. With the different characters in the female division, I think we should be able to reach a big, and more diverse audience. We have sexy girls, tomboys, smart girls, classy women, students, girls in different age categories - from different countries. For me personally, I hope I can inspire girls to follow or start MMA the same way Lucia Rijker was a big inspiration for me. If this fight outdraws the main fight again, as with my last fight, it proves to Zuffa that there's a reason to keep us.

War Coenen. This girl is pure class. I will be rooting for her this Saturday.

 I love Marloes but the more I look at this fight the more I think Tate does what Carmouche did without getting subbed.  Marloes looked pretty bad fending off takedowns and off of her back in the Carmouche fight.

 WAMMA makes more money than WMMA.

Maybe Marloes was having a bad day against Liz. Liz didn't look all that good against Kaufman. Phone Post

 Which concerns me about Marloes even more.

if there's a draw to this fight, it's meisha, not her.
