Coenen vs. Modaferri will likely air on Strikeforce event

There’s one preliminary card fight on Saturday’s Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Rogers that is almost guaranteed to make the live broadcast. Marloes Coenen (16-3; pictured) is facing Roxanne Modafferi (13-4) in a women’s 145-pound bout to determine who will become the number-one contender for Cris “Cyborg” Santos’s Strikeforce title. Strikeforce needs to build on the momentum it built up from August’s Cyborg vs. Gina Carano title fight and will want to get this in front of as many eyeballs as possible so they can remind people that Cyborg/Carano wasn’t just a one-off or sideshow bout.
