Horrible Lopsided Mismatch: Set To Debut at 58 Years Old Against FormerOlympian, Mark Coleman

He became the very first heavyweight champion in the UFC after defeating Dan Severn with a neck-crank submission, back in 1997. Thereafter, ‘The Hammer’ became a name to be reckoned with.
However, with the news of his return to the boxing ring to fight against Montell Griffin on October 14, 2023, buzz about celebrity boxing has taken over the internet. His return to the world of combat sports and debut in a boxing fight years after retirement has undeniably got netizens excited. As the news hit social media platforms, fans have begun raising concerns for the ‘Godfather of Ground & Pound’. While the excitement for the fight is quite high, many fans are simply worried for the 58-year-old fighter.
Is Mark Coleman taking things a bit too far?

After exchanging a bit of heat with Conor McGregor, Coleman has recently agreed to fight Griffin in a celebrity boxing match and mark his debut in the squared ring.
