    Well then, what you guys are failing to realize is that people enjoy watching Kimbo Slice because he knocks people out. I'm not arguing whether or not he's a good fighter, but that's what he does! People like watching fighters get knocked out, and you guys know this!

    Ken has a famous name, but fans are getting more and more educated by the day. I'd be willing to bet most people are aware that Ken is old and washed up. Not to mention, I know we're talking 'in theory,' but how the fuck would the UFC hype a fight with Ken Shamrock in it? What highlights are they going to show? Ones from almost a decade ago? You don't think people are going to watch those and think "man those clips are old as fuck, that doesn't even look like the same guy."

    Also, you're proposing they hype Mark Coleman. The biggest reason why people have trouble adopting this sport is because of the ground game; they perceive it as two dudes just laying on each other. Now, what does Mark Coleman specialize in? Fucking laying on dudes without doing anything!

    Let me break this down. You two are suggesting the UFC use Mark Coleman, who is only good at what casual fans don't want to see, to get casual fans more interested in the sport? Well, that's brilliant guys! :2thumbs:
    Coleman is the godfather of GnP

    Coleman vs Ken would do more buys than Shogun vs Machida even at this point

    Put both of these guys on TUF and it would be a rap

      That would explain why there's all this buzz about Jon Jones sick skills (you remember him, the dude who submitted Jake O' Brien with a motherfucking D'arce choke on the undercard of 100) meanwhile no one has said two shits about Coleman laying on Bonnar (and his shitty, shitty performance)for three rounds.

      This isn't pro wrestling. Get over it!
      Mark Coleman is 100X the draw Jon Jones is right now. Jon Jones is a no name nothing, no matter how many sherdog dorks are "buzzing" on him.

      Names & stars sell fights, not D'arce chokes.

      ...and it's more pro wrestling than you even realize. Get over it.

        Guess who else is proposing hyping Coleman?

        Dana White, who is putting him in a main event with Tito Ortiz.
