One look at the resume of Marloes Coenen will tell you she has to be considered a prohibitive favorite against Arlene Blencowe, her opponent at Bellator 141.
Coenen has been fighting for more than 14 years and has taken on some of the top names in MMA, including reigning Invicta Fighting Championships titleholder Cristiane Justino, onetime Strikeforce champion Sarah Kaufman and former Ultimate Fighting Championship title challengers Miesha Tate and Liz Carmouche. Meanwhile, Blencowe has just 10 pro fights under her belt and sports a relatively modest 6-4 record.
However, Coenen is not taking Blencowe lightly as she prepares for her second appearance under the Bellator MMA banner.
