The Godfather of Ground & Pound

A 2-time UFC Tournament winner and the first UFC heavyweight champion, Mark Coleman is an original in every sense of the word. 

Back in ’96, me and a bunch of wrestlers may have been naïve, but we just really believed that we were gonna get in there and win these things. I guess that was a good thing because confidence will take you a long way in this sport. - Mark Coleman
