    So long, Yellow Bastard.

    At least you didn't have to fight Brock!

    Big respect for Coleman for being a tough SOB and sticking with it this long.

    I'm sure he won't retire (maybe he'll be on the perpetual Dan Severn farewell tour?) but he's done fighting for the UFC. That's good for his health.

    Did Trigg get cut? I know Nover, Hague, and Coleman got cut but I didn't see anything about Trigg.

    Don't see what the point of that might be.

    Lashley's probably going to fight Brett Rogers next.

    Re: Mark Coleman, others cut following UFC 109

    Seems like huge leap in competition for him. If he won it would be huge for him but I reckon Rogers would fuck him up if his wrestling defense is any good.

    I think a fight against Bigfoot Silva would be good for him. A good step up from what hes gone against so far but also quite manageable. If he wins that then you throw him in with Rogers/Werdum/Arlovski (if he comes back to SF) and then later on perhaps Overeem/Fedor.

    Re: Mark Coleman, others cut following UFC 109

    it would be a step up in competition against a guy with a big name who he would be expected to beat.

    i'm fine with that. i'd like to see lashley fight someone decent. just seems like the way he's been handled so far that they'd be looking for an easier fight than that.

    I'm almost sorry to see Coleman go. They should t least let him fight Tito as a kind of Viking funeral.

    As for Lashley - if they put him in there with Rogers, he is going to wind up looking like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces missing. With a little more experience, Rogers is going to be the real deal.

    Rolles Gracie has also been cut.

    He obviously wasn't ready for prime time.
