Thanks to his befuddling style and tendency to make opponents look like total amateurs, Lyoto Machida has never been one of those guys who other fighters like to call out. But a champion needs contenders, and if Quinton Jackson can’t figure out how to beat the Dragon later this year, someone will need to step up. Enter Mark Coleman. LatestMMANews chatted with the UFC Hall of Famer following UFC 98 and passed along these quotes:
You know, it would almost be worth giving Coleman a shot at the light-heavyweight title just to see him try to exploit Machida’s non-existant weaknesses and get his shit pushed in. The ability to go 25 minutes probably wouldn’t be necessary — no matter how much he’s learned from his new wrestling/acting coach. Anyway, we’ll see just how improved the Hammer’s cardio and striking are at UFC 100, when he faces Stephan Bonnar. Though I have a feeling that a forced retirement will prevent us from seeing the Machida/Coleman dream fight we’ve all been waiting for…


Coleman has balls?? wtf… remember how big Colemans balls were when he was supposed to fight Lesner? yea, he bitched outta that fight cause he didn’t want to get his ass slammed thru the cage, shit I bet AOKI could sub the hammer in less than 2 min. Mark’s glory days are longggggggggg past.
