Mark Coleman: the Story of a UFC Pioneer

Posted on August 10, 2021 by Oleg

When it comes to MMA pioneers, Mark ‘The Hammer’ Coleman is a name that may not be readily recognizable by younger fans. Nonetheless, his impact on the sport is undeniable. The winner of UFC 10 and UFC 11 tournaments, and the first UFC Heavyweight champion, Coleman is also known as ‘The Godfather of Ground-and-Pound’ – a nickname which gives credit to his propensity of taking down his opponents and beating them up on the ground, a technique that you can see exhibited in virtually every MMA event today.

As an accomplished collegiate and amateur wrestler, Mark Coleman was also very influential in showing that wrestling is an excellent base for MMA, a statement which holds true to this day. Coleman’s wrestling accomplishments include multiple NCCA and Pan-American championships, and placing seventh in the 1992 Summer Olympics. “I choked” – is how Mark Coleman describes his Olympic experience to Betway. Of course Coleman had inspirations of bringing home a gold medal, and he also tried out for the 1996 Olympics – but was defeated by Kurt Angle and did not qualify for Team USA. Keep Reading

Is MMA’s reputation suffering now that ex-stars are losing to Jake Paul?

Posted on August 5, 2021 by A. J. Riot

Tyron Woodley will follow in the footsteps of former UFC victor Ben Askren by taking on Jake Paul in a boxing match at the end of August. The pressure will be on Woodley to avoid the same fate as his Octagon colleague after Askren was knocked out by Paul in the first round of their April fight.

There are many who argue that there are numerous mitigating factors that have led to this Paul’s series of victories, after all, he’s renowned for being extremely shrewd when choosing who to fight.

Interesting Sports That You Could Enjoy Watching

Posted on August 5, 2021 by A. J. Riot

If you’re more interested in watching professionals play a sport than you are in playing yourself, then there are a plethora of potential options that are available to you when it comes to watching sports played at a professional level. This article aims to outline a handful of potential sports options for you to watch.

Boxing

There are very few sports like boxing in the world. There is something about the spectacle of highly trained, incredibly physically powerful individuals duking it out to see who is the best that taps into a primal instinct in the human brain. If you’re interested in watching boxing played professionally, then there are a ton of options for you to do so, but you should probably make sure that you know exactly what it entails so that you can benefit from the full viewing experience.

UFC

UFC matches, much like boxing, key into that primal need for combat and carnage. However, where boxing has strict limitations on the way that boxers fight one another, UFC has somewhat looser rules. The allowance for mixed-martial arts fighting styles creates inherently more suspense-filled matches, which means UFC is often seen as more entertaining and information on the UFC rankings more important. Overall, UFC is another great option when it comes to potential sports that you might want to watch. Keep Reading
