Despite Coenen's suggestion of White untruths, UFC boss stands by initial claims

Ex-Strikeforce champ Marloes Coenen appeared to have called Zuffa, LLC co-owner Dana White's bluff on Thursday night.

However, according to the UFC president, his words remain true.

Coenen, along with her Golden Glory teammates Jon Olav Einemo and Valentijn Overeem were cut for one simple reason, according to White: Zuffa simply can't do business the way the Dutch firm would prefer. Change one simple demand - one dictated by the government - and you're welcome back with open arms.
