Miesha Tate vs. Marloes Coenen was easily the greatest women's MMA grappling match of all time. Both fighters put on incredible performances, but in the end Miesha Tate's wrestling was too much for the guard play of Coenen.
Despite Coenen putting on a brilliant grappling performance throughout the fight, Tate's wrestling wore her down. She passed an exhausted Coenen's guard. Coenen's arm was trapped as Tate applied the fatal arm triangle and got the tap.
Coenen used a brilliant move to counter a Tate single leg and took her back. From there she dominated Tate for most of the round. But that was the only round she won. The rest of the fight Tate was on top and she finally just wore Coenen out. Tate is the new Strikeforce women's bantamweight champion.
