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.

Unfortunately for him, Barboza was in no mood to grapple. By the second round, he could no longer stand, and Barboza took home the TKO. The lightweight bout was part of today’s UFC 162 event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on FX following additional prelims on Facebook and ahead of a main card on pay-per-view. The fight’s stoppage came at the 1:44 of the second frame, though it might have ended at the end of the first, when Oliveira’s leg began to bleed from over 20 of Barboza’s kicks. In the opening frame, Barboza might even have landed the wheel kick that knocked out Terry Etim at UFC 142 (and earned him an ESPY nomination) had Oliveira not slightly ducked. The move wasn’t enough to save him, however, from the onslaught of shins to his body and lead leg.
