Marloes Coenen on Cyborg: 'I Don't Think She's on the Stuff Anymore'

Posted on by

Former Strikeforce women's featherweight champion Marloes Coenen is looking forward to her rematch with Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos this summer.

Needless to say, the Golden Glory fighter is expecting a different outcome this time around.

In an interview with BJPenn.com, "Rumina" explained that she felt her first fight with Santos in January 2010, which she lost by TKO in the third round, was stopped to early.

Well you know, the first time my face was like jello after the fight, but I didnt want to give up. We had a male referee and every fight after that my trainer would tell the ref up front dont stop the fight [too] early cause Marloes can take a punch and she will not give up. I thought it was stopped to soon. Maybe it was because men [have] to get use to seeing women punch each other. Men want to protect women, I think that was part of it.

After the loss, Coenen dropped down to bantamweight, posting a 2-1 record, including a title win over Sarah Kaufman in October 2010.

Her sole blemish during that span was a hard-fought submission loss to Miesha Tate, in which she also lost theStrikeforcebantamweight title, in July 2011.

Coenen is 2-0 in the Invicta Fighting Championships' featherweight division, which is why she will be battling Cyborg again for the promotion's inaugural 145-pound championship in July.

Coenen believes that Santos only won their first matchup because of steroids, something that will not play a factor the second time around.

She looks more feminine now, I also think her strength is less and last time she really out powered me, so I think this time it will be a very interesting fight ...I already thought she was on something when I was fighting her for the first time. But then I was like Ah, whatever, I dont care you know. But when I was actually in the cage I felt her power and was like Oh my god I never been hit this hard in my whole life. This time I dont think shes on the stuff anymore.

Criticized for using performance-enhancing drugs for the majority of her mixed martial arts career, Santos failed a drug test for the first time in January 2012.

3D printer spits out CYBORG EAR… but where will you PUT it?

Posted on by

Princeton's finest boffins have managed to print out an ear, and it's not just a simple prosthetic, it's actually an enhancement with a radio antenna built in.

The process of combining electrical circuits with flesh is fraught with difficulties, and building ears is a common challenge given the complexity of shape and their propensity to become torn off or damaged. So the team at Princeton University attempted to solve both problems by using a 3D printer to create a pair of ears and embedded a radio antenna for good measure.

Now look ear ... the cyborg body part

Creating organs normally involves building a scaffold and letting the cells grow over it, but humans ears are too complex for that to be effective and there's no opportunity to embed electronics either. So the team used a modified Fab@Home printer to deposit layers of cells (derived from calves) and silicon. The latter was infused with nano-particles of silver to create the conductive antenna, which was tested receiving radio frequencies from 1MHz right up to 5GHz. That's not even the impressive bit.

"Biological structures are soft and squishy, composed mostly of water and organic molecules, while conventional electronic devices are hard and dry," explains one of the paper's authors, "The differences ... could not be any more pronounced."

The ears weren't just printed out and tested for sound and radio reception, they were also compared to bits of dog bone for strength and regularly tested over 10 weeks to ensure they remained biologically viable, which they did.

The full paper (PDF, requires registration but surprisingly readable) goes into a good deal more detail on the testing, as well as pointing out the potential of the technique to embed sensors in replacement body parts of all kinds.

Not that this will be happening imminently, even if one had an ear with an integrated radio antenna there's nowhere on the human head for it to be plugged in. The exposed wires in this prototype could be tied into a nerve or two, but would still require a radio circuit to be useful, and even then the potential is limited.

But the ability to combine electrical and biological stuff is interesting for all sorts of reasons, and certainly demonstrates that 3D printing has more interesting applications than malformed novelties and copyright abuse.

Cris Cyborg, Ronda Rousey, and the magic numbers that add up to a superfight

Posted on by

Back in the fall of 2012, Mike Dolce flew out to Southern California to meet with Cris Cyborg. At the time, the former Strikeforce featherweight champion was preparing to return from a one-year suspension for a positive steroids test, and looking forward to turning the page. Her future, though, was cloudy. While her longtime promotion was about to fold into the UFC, and UFC president Dana White announced a women's division would be included, the competition would be limited to 135-pounders. That was a weight that Cyborg had never approached in her career.

For two hours over dinner, Cyborg and Dolce discussed the possibility of her making that magic number. At the time, Cyborg was not training much, and weighed 168 pounds. While Dolce queried her about her dieting and workout habits, she laid out her reservations about the major downward shift.

After years of helping athletes achieve their fitness goals, Dolce didn't require much time to assess things. From what he heard and saw, he was confident in telling her she could easily make the weight, which would set up a superfight with bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey. By the time Dolce and Cyborg shook hands and parted, Dolce believed they were on the same page. Cyborg told him she would just have to speak to her management. But as time passed, a follow-up call from Cyborg or her Primetime 360 advisors never came, according to Dolce.

Instead, the next time he heard his name in connection with Cyborg, it was in the media, with Primetime 360's Tito Ortiz saying it was impossible for Cyborg to make 135 pounds. At that announcement, Dolce could only scratch his head.

"As a professional, I stand on my resume," Dolce told MMA Fighting. "If she had done the things necessary in November, December and January, it would have been easy for her to make 135 in February."

While that number was at the center of most conversations in the media regarding the inability to make the Cyborg-Rousey fight, it was not the deal-breaker it's been reported to be.

During the ongoing negotiations, which lingered for about two months, the promotion agreed to pay for the services of a dieting and nutrition consultant like Dolce. But there were other points that the two sides could not agree on.

The biggest issue, according to Cyborg's management firm Primetime 360, was Zuffa treating Cyborg as a bit player rather than an event co-star.

"Every pay-per-view megafight requires two participants, and they weren't giving Cris her just credit," Primetime 360 partner George Prajin told MMA Fighting. "They were compensating Ronda like she was the only attraction of the fight."

Despite several public statements by Cyborg and Ortiz that Cyborg could not make 135, as well as a failed practice cut led by Ortiz, Prajin told MMA Fighting that Cyborg would have attempted the drop to 135 if the sides struck a deal, but a contract fell apart for two reasons. First, the money was not right. And second, she was only interested in a short-term agreement.
