Marloes Coenen released by Zuffa/Strikeforce

Marloes Coenen and other team members RELEASED by Zuffa
by KING JB

Marloes Coenen (19-5), whom is one of the most popular and successful lady fighters in the world, lost her world championship this past Saturday in one of the most technical fights that I have seen recently. This fight was a great fight that I thought was the best fight on the card. However, things took an odd turn today as Marloes Coenen was released from Strikefore and her Zuffa contract after suffering just one loss. This has left most of the MMA community confused, which is leading to a million different rumors of what is going on exactly.

Of course we can look at this as proof that the UFC and Zuffa intends on killing off the women's division. Terminating one of the best women fighters in the world after a great fight and just one loss in my opinion proves that Zuffa wishes to get rid of the women. Keep in mind that they still have not resigned Cyborg either. This can also be taken as another piece of evidence that Zuffa intends on killing off Strikeforce very soon. Think about all the people that are gone from the company, including several world champions for the organization.

Also released were teammates of Marloes Coenen which made this situation even more odd. Valentijn Overeem (31-29), Jon Olav Einemo (6-2), also from Team Golden Glory, along with Alistair Overeem (35-11-0-1) have been released. Is this an issue between Zuffa and Team Golden Glory stemming from the Alistair Overeem situation? Overall, this situation is getting real interesting. I more than likely will be writing an article on this entire situation later today.
