Number of household items destroyed since I purchased a pair of nunchucks last week: 11. Number of limbs broken since Ronda Rousey has been breaking limbs: 9. Number of fanboy Sherdoggers' hearts broken by Ronda Rousey and Marloes Coenen: 782,096.

When we interviewed Marloes Coenen from Amsterdam, our Skype phone ran out of credit. We rushed to throw some money in the account, but we were idiots. Apparently there is a mandatory 15-minute wait before the Skype account is reactivated. We sat there, smacking our foreheads on the verge of a completely failed interview. When the account was reactivated, we called Marloes back and she apologized to us. By some weird, screwed-up universal coincidence, her phone died seconds after our Skype ran out of credit. It was something you would see off a romantic comedy -- except Marloes doesn't like us in that way. When she met us in Chicago prior to her fight against Roxanne Modafferi back in 2009, she actually patted one of our old interviewers on the head, like a Chia pet.

In this interview with MMAMania, it's unclear if she there was any head patting involved, but it appears that Marloes Coenen has some choice words for Strikeforce bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey.

What it is with Ronda, she's a great judo fighter but what I see with her is the same thing I had in the beginning of my career. I had so much fear in my body that I fought really aggressive and that's the same as with her. Everybody is all "Ohh" and "Ahh" about her and her techniques are really good but I see she's fighting with fear in her heart and she will probably not admit it and won't admit it to herself but I really see the panic.

What Ronda does, if I'm correct she has like 50k followers on Twitter and I don't even have 9000 so she has the attention. People want to know stuff about her, want to follow her and that alone will bring a lot of attention to the game. The same goes for Miesha. They have a lot of followers. I'm a different person. They really work with the sexuality and it's not my thing.

I know I'm a fighter because the first time I fought Cyborg I didn't give up. The referee stopped it and I really wanted to continue and Cyborg said I was the one that hit the hardest out of all of the girls. Ronda, she dropped and volunteered to go down to 135 because she didn't want to face Cyborg and that says something about your mentality.

We're just a couple days away from Marloes Coenen's debut with the all-female promotion, Invicta FC. It's all going to be streamed live on April 28th, so make sure your calendars are cleared and your Palm Pilots are free. Also, if you still have a Palm Pilot then you're definitely on a complex vintage kick that I can't fully comprehend.

I think Rousey's stand up was exposed. Connen's always has a puncher's chance. Plus, who the hell else are they going to match her up with next? Kaufman? Zoila G? Hiroko Yamanaka? Not many options in women's MMA let alone her weight class.

That said, Rousey pulls a Paul Harris on anyone one of their arms.

I dunno about that, I'd still take Marloes in that fight against Rhonda, yeah, she's got a great arm bar and decent ground game, but so does Marloes, with WAAAAY Better standup, not to mention she's way the fuck more of an Ambassador for MMA/WMMA than Rhonda imo. Mind you Im a BIG fan of Marloes, but cant deny that she is still top 1-3 in WMMA at that weight class. And anyone say shit like 'oh Ronda never ducked Cyborg' BULLFUCKINGSHIT !!!! Has one fight, that she talked her way into in the 1st place, talked mad shit on Cyborg, than when Cyborg ASKS for the fight, bitchass Rosey decides to drop weight for the 1st time..If an when her an Marloes fight, Hoping Marloes schools the shit outta her..same goes for Kaufman, cant stand Rousey at all..wannabe Phail..I mean Chael..

you are completely dilusional! Coenen would have no chance against rousey! She has never fought someone so skilled, strong, and quick. And when the time comes for cyborg to face rousey, rousey will break cyborgs arm before the 1st round is over. As to rousey "ducking" cuborg; rousey had 4 fights total. Why on earth is there any issue with her wanting to gain more experience before stepping in the cage with cyborg? Only a dilusional idiot would think otherwise.

Btw - cyborg beat the crap out of marloes, kaurman was beating the crap out of marloes before she sunk that arm bar, and the beat the crap put of coenen too. And youre going to put your money on coenen against ronda? I'll bet you every penny you have on that fight! I'll even give you 2 to 1 odds. But you better be prepared to lose everything you own! Coenen has no chance against ronda Rousey is just at another level from every other women's mma fighter, and that includes coenen!

Then maybe, just maybe, we can take your comments on board... Nope. Turns out they're still utter bullshit

Coenen shouldn't feel bad about losing to Cyborg, and if Rousey did duck her she shouldn't feel guilty about it either, Santos is a roided-up She-man and all of her previous wins while dosed up on enough testosterone to win Mr.Olympia should be forever tainted.

1st of all, A.) she can't use the "sex thing" because she's not hot like Ronda is, and to be honest, neither was Meisha, she was just trashy....B.) Ronda would destroy Marlos and Marlos is obviously obvious about trying to get a title shot and C.) I would duck a man fighting in a womans division if I was a woman too........Not to mention Ronda has said multiple times she would beat Cyborg and I think she would...kinda of unfair to say Ronda is dodging someone who's suspended for a year.....

p.s. to whoever the geek was that -karma'd me, go outside and get some sunlight, I HEARD it's good for you.

Read the rest of the article, Coenen says she thinks Rousey is a great talent and is comparing Rousey of now to how she felt at the beginning of her career. Coenen is a classy vet and for her fight with Miesha she has said that she really had a bad cut. Glad to see middleeasy is reporting on Invicta in some capacity, apparently this is how it's going to go if women want any coverage. As a Coenen and a Rousey fan I'd love to see that fight happen at 145 sometime in the future and I hope Coenen gets a second shot at C yborg.

I know I'll get hate for this but Marloes is right.. in the Miesha fight she was so uncomfortable on the feet it was crazy... hopefully Ronda's training in the 209 will get those hands up to snuff. then she wont be afraid to just keep it standing if her opponent trains to stay off the ground...

also, people forget Ronda was VERY quiet about fighting cris when people asked her... she directed the calling out to miesha pretty quickly... only when cris got popped and she knew she was gonna be out for a year did she ever say ANYTHING about cyborg.

also I never saw anyone do better against cyborg than coenen did. maybe one day they will have rematch who knows

Ronda's striking needs work, but I wouldn't say she was afraid to keep it standing with Tate. Ironically, I recall Tate being the one charging in into the clinch. If someone hands Ronda a judo throw of course she's going to take it every time.

Ronda explained why she dropped down in this video shot before the Tate fight was announched: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbDkDY6hUAM&t=8m52s

Everything seems to be working out according to Ronda's master plan.

How can she say Ronda ducked Cyborg? Cyborg was suspended and can't fight! There is NO ducking here, Marloes.

If she doesnt "want" to use her sexuality, that is up to her but shes hella hot, so she can't really bring up this argument.

Yeah waaaay before, Shit before she had even signed on with SF, she was saying she was the best an COULD beat Cyborg, Hell her 1st couple fights were at that weight class, it was only after Cyborg even acknowledge that Rousey existed an would take the fight, did she change her tune an drop down..

I fucking love Marloes Coenen. I'm still upset she was just ditched from Strikeforce after one loss. Unfortunate. But she's sexier than the other girls and far better "ambassador of the sport" if you want to go that route.

Yeapo's say the same thing. Hell, Marloes IS the reason why my wife will watch MMA whenever I have it on now, opposed to being more 'Meh' about the whole sport. After she watched the Dandois fight, she thought that even thou she lost, was like the toughest coolest chick ever, still does, as do I tbh. Was completely stoked when Strikeforce signed her and than utterly disgusted when they released her, all due to fucked up Management..as I highly doubt the ONE loss had much to do with it..anyways, WAR MARLOES

Not sure but it looks like Sarah is going to get screwed out of another fight. Marloes is the most interesting fight now.The fact that Strikeforce has not announced Ronda's next fight and plenty of time has elapsed.To me means this is what they were waiting for. Since Cyborg did not get her suspension reduced.This is the next best thing.
