Saying that wrestling isn't a martial art is like saying alcohol isn't a drug.

[@crushonyelyah]

Call it whatever you like its still boring

[@daviddominguez1157]

​@@crushonyelyah true!

[@johngiles6376]

@@crushonyelyah I agree, but, it's still a martial art.

[@JGD185]

It's arguably the most effective one. Wrestling is the best starting base for a mma fighter IMO.

This was definitely a better match than Gary Coleman vs Mark Goodridge, that's for sure.

yeah true but gary coleman was heavily outshorted in that one. should never been sanctioned

Gary Coleman was a STUD! lol.

The ring girls outfits were outstanding. Better times, gents...

[@epicconsience9756]

Imagine needing to see half-naked women to be captivated enough to watch a wrestling match, lol chauvinistic and simple minded :)

[@MilkyWayGalaxyy]

Yes but they weren't built the same back then. Back then it was all top heavy. Now they got it all

[@billycole852]

The "advice" they were giving Goodridge...

[@MorethanGUNZ]

Great to see the UFC post this battle of these legends and pioneers. Too bad they are both struggling now.

[@Haterade420]

Gary has CTE. It’s beyond sad. At least Mark survived that horrific fire.

[@bamaboy7707ify]

Mark Kerr would have destroyed either one in this fight.

[@hakr4751]

Scariest version of goodridge is when he wore that black gi I still remember when he annhiliated that guy with elbows from crucifix position, scary scary knockout

[@tomnoxx8734]

I had seen that knockout when I was young, it had strongly shocked me. I remember shouting, thinking the guy was dead from the blows... Well, since then, we've developed a taste for blood :)

[@stoneeh]

@@tomnoxx8734 now that you say it, I remember being pretty shocked by it too. The ~20 years since definitely desensitized me / us, lol.

Gary was a great arm wrestler.

[@derekblackthorne]

*"The Godfather of Ground and Pound!"*

[@travisdonaldstanley6420]

I thought he ran out of Oxygen and Glucose. I was shocked at how fast he got up after the tap. He had more in the tank. He knew more damage was to come. Still a great fighter for the era.

[@stevejamieson8468]

Gary knew he was overmatched and did not want take anymore unnecessary damage.

[@greggreg1056]

Gary goodridge thought he was spiderman for a while hanging on the fence like that 😅😅😅

[@k.c.r.5974]

He taps out to some sort of back riding rear leg squeeze manouver!!!! Now this is an ultimate fighting challenge alright!

[@bUdDh1stPsYcHo]

If more fighters tapped once the writing is on the wall we probably wouldn't have all these early ref stoppages.

[@k.c.r.5974]

@@bUdDh1stPsYcHo that's a great point. I've been thinking a lot about things like that lately. Or the extra follow up shots and damage after guys are already K.O.'d I think the fighters need to take some responsibility or maybe have it in contracts and agreements to not permit certain actions that will increase damage in the short term but especially long term.

[@CurtisLoew63]

Back mount=INSTANT TAP😂 Hell NAH get the F off me😂😂😂

[@powerage261]

04:00 : "i broke my hand" go fight in a cage dude

[@davejohnson-yi2rk]

Gary because of all the head punches (and kicks) he took, and Coleman because of all the PEDS he took and injuries he sustained, but both fighters have suffered in their retirement from their time fighting in the ring.

[@johnjohnson-hz5si]

Technical for the time

[@johnjohnson-hz5si]

[@PillageMontage]

Lol dude straight up quit

[@destroya3303]

You don't get to talk when you have 0.1% of the balls these guys have.

[@travisdonaldstanley6420]

He did. He got up fairly quickly from the tap. I thought he was completely out of oxygen and glucose, until he got up so quick. Still, he was smart to stop when he knew he was bested. That is wise and shows courage. He was good for the ear he fought in.

[@jamesyman007]

No quit in the Hammer. Can't say the same for Gary.

MMA has evolved... I wish we still had headbutts and no drug testing. It's supposed to be ULTIMATE, no holds barred!!!! Whoop ass or go home!!!

[@ThumperT51]

@ChrisCre8tor I wish we still had head butts! They're still better rounded MMA fighters than we were then. Head butts and bag tags were allowed years ago. Now people wear cups and paint their fingernails. Not necessarily tougher, but better trained under the current rules.

[@George18798]

@@ThumperT51 "MMA has evolved" statement sounds simply ridiculous in relation to current Heavyweight division. Only Cyril Gane and Tom Aspinall, but other like Derrick Lewis, Tai Tuivasa, Marcin Tybura, Alexander Romanov and the rest for sure getting hammered into the canvas. Mark Coleman vs Curtis Blaydes and Jailton Almeida would have been interesting.
