Some fear that Saturday night's fight marked an apogee to which women's MMA shall not return; the humbling of the sport's first star, witnessed by millions, a deathblow to the fledgling sport. I don't see it that way, however. My thinking is like that of
E. Spencer Kyte: this is only the beginning.
Who will face the seemingly invincible champion next? Speculation has already begun. And although they may not be household names (at least not yet), two talented veteran fighters are quite eager for a shot at Cyborg: the already mentioned
Erin Toughill and
Marloes Coenen.
Here I must add a slight correction to
yesterday's post: though both women were on call, so to speak, Coenen was actually at the event as a potential stand-in. An interview with Coenen shortly after the fight:
