Mark Coleman!
In a huge turn of events worthy of a pro wrestling storyline, UFC inducted
Mark Coleman into its Hall of Fame tonight at UFC 82, and Coleman used the
induction ceremony as the moment to announce his stunning return to the
Octagon.
Coleman announced his opponent would be Brock Lesnar.
And Lesnar now has a name opponent for his August return, which will take
place in his hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
UFC's official website reported:
“I have always fought for the fans and I appreciate anyone
out there who wishes me well and who was pulling for me,” said Coleman. “I hope
I’ve treated the fans with respect.”
Unquestionably, and now it’s for
those fans that Coleman will return to the UFC later this year to face a fellow
NCAA champion in Brock Lesnar.
“I’m gonna dedicate my life to this,” said
Coleman on the UFC 82 pay-per-view broadcast. “The fans want to see me, I’m
gonna pay my dues, and I’m gonna do the best I can. He (Lesnar) is a beast, he’s
an animal, but don’t bet the house against me. I’m gonna bring something for
Brock Lesnar and I’m gonna beat his butt.”
More on this shocking turn of events as it develops.
