The recently announced championship bout between Marloes Coenen (21-5) and Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos (11-1) will headline Invicta FC 6.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) recently passed along news of the matchup, which awards the winner Invicta's first-ever featherweight title, on Saturday, and Invicta officials recently confirmed it'll headline the event.

Invicta FC 6 is targeted for a late-June or early-July date. A host city and venue, as well as broadcast/streaming plans, haven't been finalized.

The two fighters first met in January 2010, when Santos defended her Strikeforce featherweight title with a third-round TKO victory over Coenen (21-5), whom she slowly wore down throughout the fight.

At Invicta FC 5 this past weekend, Santos successfully returned from a 16-month drug suspension and layoff, and she dominated late replacement Fiona Muxlow for a first-round knockout. It marked Santos' ninth knockout in 11 career wins.

After her loss to Santos, Coenen went on to win Strikeforce's bantamweight title in her next bout by submitting Sarah Kaufman. That victory is part of the Dutch vet's current 4-1 run, which also included an Invicta FC 1 decision win over Romy Ruyssen and a December submission victory over Muxlow at DREAM.18.

The Santos-Coenen winner will join Michelle Waterson (newly crowned atomweight champion), Carla Esparza (strawweight champ) and Barb Honchak (new flyweight titleholder) as Invicta FC champions.

Nice matchup for sure. One of the best fights out there in WMMA right now.

Interesting enough, but Cyborg smashes her again along with any other female fighter in the world with the balls to fight her, meaning if Rousey hadn't ducked she'd of gotten smashed also duh.

Yeah but Marloes should be able to make Cyborg fight for a couple rounds atleast. She won't get blitzed like most women. Well she could, but she is far more likely to make Cyborg fight for awhile then most.

no doubt she has more tricks up her sleeve than most.

There really aren't any better options out there. It will be worth checking out for sure.

No chance for Coenen, same result as last time

Wasn't the 1st fight before Cyborg got caught cheating? If she is clean this time it could be different.

Still way too strong. Coenen's only chance is to catch her with something off the back and Cyborg just powered right through all those attempts in the first fight

Two hotties.

Cyborg stilll physically looked and fought like the Cyborg who "cheated" vs. i guess everybody she ever fought in her last fight. She looked a little more angry though. Maybe we can give poor Jan Finney another crack at Cyborg.

on another note, I thought Waterson looked improved. Seen Penne fight a couple of times and she is talented. I thought they had a decent scrap.

Waterson seems like a pretty cool chick. Heartwarming to see how uber emotional she was.
