The recently announced Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos (11-1) vs Marlos Coenen (21-5) title rematch will headline Invicta FC 6. The event is targeted for a mid-summer date, near the end of June or beginning of July. Location, venue, and broadcasting details have yet to be revealed. The first match was in the Strikeforce organization in January of 2010, and saw Santos defend her featherweight belt against Coenen with a third round TKO victory. Last weekend at Invicta FC 5, Santos knocked out late replacement Fiona Muxlow in the first round. This marked Cyborg’s ninth knockout win in eleven career victories, and was done after a nearly 16 month layoff. Meanwhile, Coenen has gone 4-1 in recent outings. After fighting Cyborg, she dropped to bantamweight and beat Sarah Kaufman for the Strikeforce bantamweight title.

The sport of MMA has plenty of stories to motivate and we have even heard a few of those stories over the years here on FIST-ta-CUFF Radio. However when it comes to the story of Garrett “G-Money” Holeve this is the true story of heart, determination, and a will to never give up. Garrett’s name has been in the news as of recent and ESPN even did a very nice piece, but it wasn’t because Garrett’s size, his future as a legend in the sport, or the fact that he is knocking out opponents, it’s because Garrett defines what it means to be a fighter. Holeve suffers from Rheumatoid Arthritis, a painful disease that leads to inflammation of joints and surrounding tissues, but refuses to let that or the fact that he was born with Down’s syndrome, a chromosomal condition from stopping his dream. Garrett has a dream of being a fighter and has already started making that dream a reality. We will talk with Garrett about his love for MMA, teaching children at his branch of ATT, and much more.
