It was in Pride, therefore they didn't really give much of a shit. The fight's been a known work for a while now. Hilarious how Takada worked that fight like his other pro wrestling fights, making it even more obvious than the commentators.
I had never heard of this before your thread...I watched the video and maybe I'm missing something but I don't really see any glaring or obvious evidence that Coleman took a dive. He seemed like he tried everything to end it quickly, couldn't, gassed and got caught in a heel hook...I've seen that kind of thing countless times.
Giving up side mount to go into someone's guard is not something an olympic wrestler or MMA veteran would do. Also, Coleman had the most fierce GnP back in the day, he would have creamed Takada but he went really lightly on him. Lastly, did you even watch that heel-hook? rofl, he layed on his belly like a ******* fish.. didn't even try to pull his leg out.

it's so obvious how can you not see that it was worked i mean he jumped from side mount and then fought to get back into his guard when he could've very easily passed back into side mount like he'd done earlier and then he baited him to take the heel hook he left his leg there forever and then stepped btw his legs so it would be right there and then didn't even try to get out of it and he wasnt gassed he was fine takada was gassed tho did you see him after?
This fight wasn't fixed, Coleman just had a retarded urge to do something unconventional. He also wanted to see if he could escape the heel-hook without trying. You live, you learn, right?
Another example to prove that Coleman is a classless, roided out douche bag. I can't say that I am suprised. The fight was a joke. In addition, to his classy performance against Rua, Coleman is a jackass.
Don't any of you remember the good mark coleman of old?
He wasn't like this ten years ago.....he was a god.
You don't know how bad he needed the money.
You allow your opponent to win, like mark did in this video.......:confused02:
