HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. - It took Dutch MMA star Marloes Coenen more than two years to avenge her controversial loss to Roxanne Modafferi, but given her dominant first-round victory in the rematch on Saturday, one could almost say it was worth the wait.

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. -- Strikeforce has its next female MMA star: Marloes Coenen.

Coenen, a 145-pound submission whiz from the Netherlands, needed just 65 seconds to get Roxanne Modaferri to tap with an arm bar Saturday night on the undercard of the Fedor vs. Rogers show, and in that 65 seconds she showed everything a star needs: Presence, poise and the ability to dominate an opponent in the cage. It doesn't hurt that Coenen is a beautiful woman, but that's just an added bonus. The important part is that she can fight.

HOFFMAN ESTATES, ILL. - Marloes Coenen has still never rewatched her 2007 loss to Roxanne Modafferi because the Dutch women's MMA star still believes she was robbed of a victory. On a Saturday night, Coenen will look to avenge that controversial loss against Modafferi on the undercard of the Strikeforce on CBS card.

CHICAGO -- At first glance, Roxanne Modafferi doesn't look your typical mixed martial artist, what with her skinny frame and glasses. But the native of Delaware, who now resides in Japan, is considered one of the best female fighters in the world, and she has a 13-4 record, including six straight wins, to prove it.

FanHouse spoke to the very excited Modafferi, who faces Marloes Coenen on the CBS undercard Saturday night, about her emotions heading into the biggest fight of her life, her 2007 victory over Coenen, and life in Japan. The full video interview is below.

Roxanne Modafferi will get the opportunity of a lifetime on Saturday night when she faces Marloes Coenen on the Strikeforce undercard, and if time permits, the bout will air on CBS.
