Dana White talked to the press following UFC 109 and had the following to say regarding where Mark Colemans UFC career may go from here:

"Tonight is probably Mark Coleman's last fight in the UFC. Listen, he looked good against Bonnar. I'm not taking anything away from Mark Coleman -- I have nothing but respect for him. Mark Coleman's always been a stand up guy with me and he'll always be apart of this organization. I just think he'll have a hard time competing with the guys at the top level. Age is a factor with him. This fight was a dream for Coleman. His dream was to fight Randy Couture. And he wanted this thing bad.... He went in there and wasn't able to do anything. Randy pretty much beat him everywhere.... It's tough to say it's over and hang 'em up. It's the toughest thing in the world. And I hate dealing with it. It sucks.... Tito's a lot younger than him. He's talking shit to him after he just lost -- this fight that he wanted his whole life. And Tito's fighting Chuck. I'm not even thinking about Tito versus Coleman."

And so the Coleman era ends. Good luck Mark whatever you decide to do now!

He had a good run all together always hard to watch the decline of a fighter. Accomplished enough to be proud of at least, wouldn't mind seeing Coleman vs Ortiz personally.

If Coleman can bring out the fountain of youth and un-age himself a few years he might have a chance against Tito. Tito went the distance with Forest, and that was with ring rust.

Yeah only because Forrest isn't a finisher. He has only finished 1 fight in the last 4.5 years, which was against a terrible looking Shogun.

If Tito takes a fight against Coleman I will have no respect left for him as a fighter.

I already agree with the last part of that sentence, but that's a different thread . . .

Sad for Dana because he's a fan as well as a businessman and he knows how much Mark has given to the sport.

It feels a little bit like when you as a kid was playing something really funny with your friends and suddenly your friends mother comes and picks him up and you feel that sadness that he cant be there to play anymore... And now Coleman is that friend.

Luckily some other kid will probably come along and join the game :mrgreen:
