The X Factor: Coleman managed one of the most improbable victories in recent memory when he hit the ankle pick of doom on Mauricio “Shogun” Rua, and he can still take down most anyone you put in front of him. However, Coleman’s ground-and-pound isn’t the one shot, one kill variety, and Bonnar is a glutton for punishment anyway. It may not be the best situation for Coleman, but the ankle pick of doom is the ultimate trump card.

The Bottom Line: This should be a fun scrap for however long Coleman’s cardio holds up, but once his meter hits zero, it will not take long for Bonnar to give him the dignity of a speedy submission. Alas, no ankle pick of doom or double leg of destruction this time around, but maybe the MMA world will get another post-fight special with Coleman introducing his six-pack packing daughters. In lieu of a competitive fight, I’ll settle for a surreal post-fight interview.
