"Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson" took place Saturday night inside the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio. A pair of thrilling fights headlined Showtime's broadcast.
Women's 135-pound champion Marloes Coenen rose from the brink of defeat to unleash an Anderson Silva-esque come-from-behind victory over Liz Carmouche in the night's co-main event. Coenen was getting mauled by the 3 -to-1 underdog until she managed to wrap her lanky legs around the challenger's neck in the 4th round to force the triangle submission victory.
Dan Henderson captured the light heavyweight crown in the card's featured contest. After much back and forth action during the first 10 minutes of their championship affair, Henderson came out firing to start the third stanza.
Henderson connected on a vicious right hand that instantly dropped the Brazillian on his face. The former PrideFC champ quickly pounced on Feijao and unloaded a few more bombs on the ground before the fight was finally called.
Speaking of finishes, Strikeforce produced yet another night of spectacular action. It's becoming old hat for the San Jose, California based promotion, as eight of the 10 fights on Saturday did not involve the three officials sitting cage-side.
The two contests that went to the cards resulted in lopsided unanimous decision verdicts.
