Former undisputed UFC heavyweight champion and promotional Hall of Fame inductee, Mark Coleman officially has an opponent slated for his professional boxing debut and combat sports return in October, taking on former WBC light heavyweight champion, Montell Griffin in a highly-criticized form of matchmaking.
Coleman, who has not competed in professional combat sports since February 2010, suffering a second round rear-naked choke loss to former two-weight champion, Randy Couture – in the first fight between two UFC Hall of Fame inductees in organizational history.
16-10 as a professional, Mark Coleman’s most recent professional win came the year prior at UFC 100, landing a unanimous decision win over the late Ultimate Fighter finalist, Stephan Bonnar.
