(Photo:Sherdog.com)Mark Coleman was inducted into the UFC hall of fame as part of the activities associated with UFC 82. During the PPV broadcast, Coleman sat down with Joe Rogan and spilled the news that he is grateful for the Hall of Fame recognition, but not done with the fight game yet.? Apparently Coleman has been in discussions with the UFC for a while and he has confirmation for a fight in the organization in approximately 5 months.? Coleman announced that his opponent for that match will be Brock Lesnar and that the event will be in Minnesota , which happens to be home turf for Lesnar.

This should be an interesting match, with Lesnar really stepping to the plate in taking solid competition as he steps to the centre stage in MMA that is the UFC.? While Coleman has been without a fight for almost 18months, he is a real competitor.? Having faced off against Fedor Emilianenko (twice) , Mauricio ?Shogun? Rua, Mirko Cro-Cop, etc?. Coleman?s experience level is second to none, even though he may be on the twilight of his career.??

A very interesting match and again a testament to the courage and commitment of Brock Lesnar as he makes the transition from pro (entertainment) Wrestling to MMA and the UFC. Where I had little interest or respect for the Lesnar arrival in the beginning, with decisions like this and the Mir fight? he is slowly winning me over.
