WMMA Featherweights Ranking - February 2016

Say what you will...
Love her or hate her....
Cris "Cyborg" Justino is still at the top of the WMMA Featherweights.
People keep harping on that failed drug test in 2012, but that was 4 years ago and she still has a 14-1-1 record and that one loss was in 2005. \
She also has a 2-1-0 Kickboxing record and a 7-1-0 Submission grappling record.

Marloes Coenen vs Cristiane Justino

At Invicta FC 6 on July 13th, 2013 at the Ameristar Casino Hotel in Kansas City, Missouri, Marloes Coenen (21-5-0) will be taking on Cristiane Justino (11-1-0) who was of course formerly known as Cris "Cyborg" Santos.
This match is the main event and will be a rematch.
The two last fought back at Strikeforce - Miami on January 30th, 2010.

To me this match is kind of a deal breaker for Cris.
If she wins, it proves that it wasn't steroids but skill that gave her all of those victories.
But even if she loses, it may just mean that Marloes was better that day.
Ms. Coenen is by no means a slouch.

Who do I think will win?
Please...if you look back at this blog you will see I cannot call a fight to save my life!
I'll just have to wait and see like everyone else.
 

The card will also feature almost every major female MMA fighter around that hasn't been snatched up by the UFC (it still feels funny typing that) including...
Veronica Rothenhausler, Rose Namajunas, Lauren Taylor, Jessica Penne, Bec Hyatt, Leslie Smith, Julia Budd and many more.
