"I had a lot of doubters. I can’t stand being called an old man…. I had to shut a lot of people up. There are reasons why I got tired — distractions — I didn’t train hard enough. But if I put the time in I can compete with anybody. I was about 70 percent tonight [at UFC 100]…. I can get a lot better and [be a factor in this division]…When I put my mind to it I’m fresh, I’m fast, I’m quick, I punch hard. I’m good…Everybody else better watch out because ‘The Hammer’ is back.

I always look tired — I’m playing possum…. I’m a different breed when I’m on ya.’ I’m a world class wrestler. And [Stephan] Bonnar emptied his tank in that first round and that’s why I was able to come back and win that fight. I was fresh. I got better as the fight went on."

--Mark Coleman, on his UFC 100 victory against Stephan Bonner

I love Mark Coleman, but I didn’t give him a chance in hell. Never again will I call him old…from now on, he’s just well seasoned. Bravo Coleman, I want to shake your hand.

Damn you Bonnar, you lost me my Parlay bet.

Credit to you Coleman. You showed us all you still have some wind in your sails yet.

I watched that fight yesterday and was very happy with it – I am glad Coleman got this win.
