Mike Coughlin’s Half-Guarded Truth (11/23/2009): Karo Parisyan and a Growing Problem Within MMA

Mike Coughlin posted this very well-written, mature, and thoughtful article on the Figure Four site.  In this blogger’s opinion, it is the best written article on the sport this year.  I hope Mike’s articles can be incorporated in a Best American Sports Writing or similar anthology.

Former Guest Fights Tonight (possibly on CBS)

(C) Roxanne Modafferi

Roxanne Modafferi was a guest on my show last fall (2008).  The episode in question is: The Invisible Web Episode 21 (0302) – Fighting 63 in Japan.  Tonight she will be facing one of the premiere female fighters in the world, Merloes Coenen on the StrikeForce Fedor vs Rogers undercard.  Her fight may or may not be televised due to time constraints. In 2007 , Roxy beat Merloes to win the K-Grace Tournament, in Japan.  At that time many consider Merloes to be the “female Rickson Gracie” due to her numerous tournament wins.  We here at the Invizible Web (and MMA-Blitz) wish Roxy a good fight and know she will kick Merloes’ ass again.
