White ready to axe Coleman

UFC president Dana White has revealed that Mark Coleman is likely done fighting for the organization.

Coleman suffered a defeat in the octagon to Randy Couture on Saturday night in the main-event of the UFC 109 event in Las Vegas.

“I think tonight was probably Coleman’s last fight in the UFC,” White said.

“I’m not taking anything away from Mark Coleman,” White said. “I have nothing but respect for him, and I’ll say this now, too: Mark Coleman has always been a stand-up guy to me.

“He’ll always be a part of this organization. I just think he’ll have a hard time competing with the guys at the top level. Age is a factor with him.”

“This fight was a dream for Coleman,” White continued. “It was a dream of his to fight Randy Couture, and he wanted this thing bad. He said it best at the press conference. He said, ‘Randy Couture has accomplished a lot of things and has a lot of things. I want to take some of those things from him Saturday night.’

“He went in there, and he wasn’t able to do anything. He didn’t get off. Randy pretty much beat him everywhere.”
