Mark Coleman Wants To Return To The UFC
Quote:
“I’m excited about the possibility of returning to the Ultimate Fighting Championships … I do prefer the cage.”

First-ever UFC Heavyweight Champion and PRIDE FC Grand Prix Champion, Mark Coleman (15-8), uttered those words in a recent article from The News-Messenger regarding the recent sale of the largest mixed martial arts promotion in Japan to the Fertitta brothers.
At 43, the former NCAA collegiate wrestling champion and 1992 U.S. Olympian, is perhaps well beyond his prime. However, as a current fighter on the PRIDE FC roster, he still has the desire to compete once again under the UFC banner.
It seems like a stretch, considering UFC President Dana White has said he expects to put on the biggest fights in MMA history if and when the two promotions lock horns.
Put simply, Coleman doesn’t fit the profile of a superstar who would be included in those types of events.
“The Hammer,” in fact, is probably best known for the wrong reasons here in the states. His brutal knockout loss to Pete Williams at UFC 17 is a classic, making Rashad Evans’ recent wipeout of Sean Salmon look like child’s play.
And who can forget his celebration after winning the PRIDE FC 2000 Grand Prix, which saw him bust his ass attempting to leap on the top rope. Or, the post-fight drama — ripped right from a bad Hollywood script — after losing to Fedor Emelianenko via armbar at PRIDE 32.
lol Coleman is so crazy, he MIGHT be able to do well against Lower Class Heavyweights like Jake O'Brien, Eddie Sanchez, Dan Christison and Possibly Cheick Kongo (Though Kongo has the power to knock him the fuck out...) As soon as he hit the likes of Arvlovski, Wedrum and even Slyvia he'd be out of his leauge talent wise.

I found a poor man once
He was the age of fifty-three
He spoke about the government
And the thought of being free
What good does us reason if we fail to see?
What good does us freedom if we fail to be free

Re: Mark Coleman Wants To Return To The UFC
Well none the less Coleman is a big name, if he wants it maybe UFC would consider putting him back into the cage at least one more time, loss or not, it would draw a crowd.
