A women's contest between former Strikeforce champ Marloes Coenen (20-5) and Australian product Fiona Muxlow (6-1) has been added to the year-end "DREAM.18 and GLORY 4 Tokyo – New Year's Eve Special" event.

DREAM officials recently announced the new booking.

DREAM.18, which features both MMA bouts and the "GLORY 4 Tokyo – Heavyweight Grand Slam" kickboxing tournament, takes place Dec. 31 at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan. Shinya Aoki and Antonio McKee headline the MMA portion of the card.

Additionally, broadcast plans for the dual DREAM.18 and GLORY 4 Tokyo events now include a tape-delayed broadcast to the U.S. via CBS Sports Network, which is currently available in approximately 47 million homes. The Glory 4 event airs at 10 p.m. ET on New Year's Eve while DREAM.18 airs the following day at the same time.

The event also airs live on Canada's Fight Network and streams worldwide via online pay-per-view on www.gloryworldseries.com.

Holland native Coenen returns to the ring after besting Romy Ruyssen in April at Invicta FC 1, which was her second win over the fighter. Previously, she lost the Strikeforce bantamweight title to Miesha Tate at "Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Henderson," which snapped a streak that saw her win the belt by submitting Sarah Kaufman and defend it by submitting Liz Carmouche.

Coenen was cut from Strikeforce in August 2011 amid a dispute between her management company, Golden Glory (which operates the DREAM and Glory promotions), and UFC parent Zuffa.

Muxlow, who hails from Australia, has won her past three bouts and makes her first international appearance at the year-end event.

DREAM.18 also features former DREAM bantamweight champ Bibiano Fernandes as he takes on Japanese vet and DEEP champ Yoshiro Maeda, as well as UFC vets Denis Kang, Phil Baroni and Michihiro Omigawa.

The event's full MMA card includes:

The Glory/Dream New Year’s Eve event from Saitama, Japan, is just around the corner, and while American broadcasting details are still being nailed down, one more high profile MMA bout has been added to the card.

Former Strikeforce women’s 135-pound champion Marloes Coenen will make her way to Japan to face Fiona Muxlow on the Dream portion of the event at Saitama Super Arena, according to MMAWeekly.com sources.

Coenen (20-5) has seen little activity since losing her Strikeforce belt to Miesha Tate in mid-2011. She fought once for Invicta FC, defeating Romy Ruyssen by unanimous decision in April of this year.

Muxlow, fighting out of Australia, has a solid 6-1 record, but this will mark the first time she’s fought outside of Australia or New Zealand, and Coenen is by far the toughest opponent she’s ever faced.

The two will be part of the Dream MMA rules bouts when the promotion is resurrected on New Year’s Eve in Japan.

The event will air in the United States on the CBS Sports Network. The Glory kickboxing portion of the event will broadcast on Dec. 31 on the network, while the Dream MMA bouts hit the airwaves on Jan. 1.

Independent MMAWeekly.com sources confirmed that CBS Sports Network is hosting the American broadcast of the event, which was first reported by MMAFighting.com.

That is awesome. I think this could lead to an eventual spot on Showtime after the SF deal is done in a few weeks since CBS owns Showtime.

yep....and espinoza this week confirm that showtime wants to stay in the mma business....great news...cdf47...fuck yeah jmma is back with a dutch father, lol....but great news...

Well ill definitely be taking a break from this board for two days..
Can't wait for two days worth of high level combat and at a decent time for once.

I'm just hoping the four hour timeslot will be enough to show all of the Kickboxing matches, at least the Le Banner and van Roosmalen fights.

This probably means minimal vtrs and little to no entrances but ill live with it for a good broadcast deal.

very happy about these news, I finally get to watch my first DREAM event live on TV instead of streaming.

That's awesome. Glad I don't have to stream this or watch a replay on the net. About to set the DVR immediately.

Awesome! Glory knows what the fans needs.

I will be ordering the live HD stream for $20 from the GLORY site and stream it onto TV from iPAD to Apple TV. Just can't wait for a one and two day delay for CBS Sports Network airing. It is great they got this deal which could lead to future shows on Showtime when SF is gone and buried since CBS owns Showtime. Hopefully their future broadcasts will be live.

Cannot wait for this event just several days away.

That's what I'm doing as well. For me it is worth $20 to see the entire event live. I could wait a day for kickboxing and two days for DREAM on CBS Sports but just got to see this event live.
