Marloes Coenen: I would love to return to Strikeforce

Former Strikeforce champion Marloes Coenen holds no ill will towards Zuffa for releasing her following her title loss to Miesha Tate, stating Tuesday she would love to fight again under the Strikeforce banner.

“I’ve been in this game since I was a teenager,” Coenen said on The MMA Hour. “So I know how it works and it’s business. It really is a business and when we renegotiate, things can go hard.”

“I think Dana was misinformed because he wasn’t running the day-to-day activities and I think somebody told him wrong,” Coenen said. “He’s the spokesperson of the UFC and I think that’s what happened.”

Coenen, who considers both the Golden Glory management and stable as family, had no issue with showing her check to the public and possibly ruffling a few feathers with Zuffa.

“It’s my family and if you diss my family, then I will stand up [for them],” she said with a chuckle.
