Every body goes deep and everybody is screaming and sweating. That’s so much better.  “When I look in the mirror, I see a difference in my muscles.” Coenen underestimated the Brazilian fighter’s strength when they first met and paid the price with a third-round TKO loss to “Cyborg” in the now-defunct Strikeforce. It was her first opportunity to win a major title.  She doesn’t plan on falling back again.  “['Cyborg'] completely out-powered me,” she said about their January 2010 fight. “I was like, ‘Ah, the girl looks tough, I can handle that.’ Until I was in the cage, and she really smashed my face in.” More specifically, she said her face was like “jello pudding.” But it was also was something of a badge of honor for Coenen, who held up longer amid the onslaught of Santos’ ferocious punches, unlike countless others.  “I really felt good about it,” Coenen said.

While the procedure to fuse three discs together went off without a hitch, Rutten recently told MMAWeekly.com that he is still experiencing problems with weakness and muscle deformation. “I’ve been saying before the surgery that I thought it was my neck, but I also thought there was a blockage between my neck and my shoulder blade,” said Rutten. “They denied it, but if I do 50 push-ups, I will lose all my power 10 minutes later. In my eyes, there was inflammation, muscles blow up and stops the nerve.
