Bonnar insists Coleman is still dangerous

Stephan Bonnar insists 44-year-old fighter Mark Coleman is still dangerous, ahead of their fight at UFC 100.

Coleman has lost his last two fights, but Bonnar refuses to take anything for granted.

He told MMA FanHouse: “He’s dangerous. Last fight he gave Shogun [Rua] a run and he didn’t even have a training camp in that fight. I know he’s in Vegas and he’s been training. He hired a couple coaches and training partners that have been pushing him. All I know is, he’ll be in better shape this time. That’s for sure.

“His fights have been with top-flight opponents. Two times with Shogun Rua, two fights with Fedor Emelianenko, and then Mirko Cro Cop. And he was supposed to fight Brock Lesnar coming back into the UFC. So I don’t think he’s scared of me.”

Bonnar added on Coleman’s wrestling skills: ” Yeah. I’ve been working on that a lot more. And, I kind of know he’s been working his standup a lot . So I wouldn’t be surprised if he traded with me for a little bit. But I expect his instincts to kick in and take me down, or try to take me down.”
