@blabla94400 lol look at what coleman does before he taps. he waives his arm around (am i gonna tap? aren't I?). when someone taps it means they cannot take the pain anymore, or they believe un-repairable damage is being done to their body. Therefore a person as competitive as mark coleman would not make such a theatrical and blatantly fake gesture such as the one he makes before tapping. gullible. fake
@blabla94400 Coleman admitted he took a dive, the commentators are baffled by what happens & the performance itself is obviously fishy. It was fixed, end of story.

Wow those are some pulled punches from mark during the whole fight. If this wasn't worked he would have been fucking crashing Takada.Fucking WWF bullshit.
I remember watching the fight and going WTF? Then Bas sounded skeptical as hell. What just happened? I don't believe this.... Not that he didn't believe it, he didn't BELIEVE it. You can also tell by Marks refusal to look up afterwards.
@plankcore He had two young daughters at the time and worked as a bouncer. He was feeding his family and follwoing the american dream of having no money.
Disgraces America? Americans didn't choose Coleman as a representative, nor did he ask to represent America. Coleman, like all fighters, represents himself in the ring.
This is ridiculous. So you're saying american culture is what? The type that throw fights? You're saying this individual man represents 300million people?
"such an honest and truthful representation of american culture"
american culture is so diverse its really hard to say he represents anything but himself without looking like a fucking asshole. we could find some well known and well loved fighters from every country that have thrown fights.
@oODropshotOo american culture is diverse but remember to keep the statement contextualised. I was not referring to american culture in totality; merely this aspect of it (sport, violence, theatre, capitol, fame, performance etc).
The reason why it represents that aspect of american culture so well is the theatrical nature of the performance, coupled with the naivety of fans who think it's real, offset against the constant tension of will he fake it or will he go all out? fame or money?
This wasn't the olympics so he's not representing anyone inside the ring but himself. America didn't pick him for some team of mma fighters he and his management decided on this fight.
If I wanted to I could condemn millions of innocent people using the same logic you're using. We need to start looking at people for what they really are, individuals. This nationalist viewpoint where everybody from +-
I lost a lot of respect for coleman after watching this fight. You could tell how weak those knees were and he didnt throw any knees to the head which he always did. Also he wasnt even squeezing when he had that neck crank. You could tell Bas knew it was fake.
@RoussDogg That was the part that baffled me most. It wasn't even like he was trying to jump to mount and the guy defended. He just hopped in the guard like it was his plan all along.
Coleman could have taken this gy out and pounded him like a stake at ANY point. I'm not a huge Coleman fan but this is a joke. Coleman is worlds above this clown. He's pulling punches at 2:16, Bas knows it, listen to his tone of voice at 2:45. 3:10, bas realises what's going on. The rest is what it is :(
What the fuck?! Coleman didnt even fuckin try! If he really got paid off then he was clearly showin that he could easily win. I coulda got outta that heel hook! Not sayin that to b cocky, im just sayin Coleman coulda got out... And he coulda won at any time.
People talking shit on Takada probably don't realise that Pride would have never continued past the first show if he didn't continue fighting. KRS was bleeding money and show attendance dropped off because Takada kept losing. He needed this win for Pride to survive.
said in an interview, "It was what it was. I needed to support my family. They guaranteed me another fight after that and I needed that security. It was what it was. I'm going to leave it at that
@axxesmerdas When Anderson lost to a flying heel hook (against a Japanese fighter), his foot was turned to a scary angle, though. Looked legit, but the move is usually so impossible to pull off in a real match that the Yakuza connections will always make that loss look rigged. I guess we will never know.
I'm listening to Joe Rogan's podcast guest starring Bas Rutten...He's talking about this fight right now saying that "the word" was that Mark was going to throw the fight...He said it ticked him off, and when he was pre-interviewed about who he thought would win, be basically said exactly what was going to happen to the interviewer to see if it were really true....SMH at Pride AND Coleman! If Coleman didnt claim to be a "real" fighter, then I'd probably wouldn't care less.
What a joke. Coleman could have killed this guy. But I can fault Coleman, he claims that Pride was not going to offer him any more fights if he did not take a dive. A mans got to feed his family.
You can tell it's a work right away simply because of how many opportunities he didn't take. Those opportunities are only even presented to him in the first place because the OTHER fighter knows this shit is rigged too, so he isn't worried about getting beaten. But it looks so fake. MMA fighters like to talk shit now and then about Pro Wrestling like the WWE, but maybe next time Coleman wants to throw a fight, he should watch some old Stone Cold Steve Austin matches or something, learn to sell.
@BaronVonGodzilla he should not have thrown the fight but in his defense he had to feed his family and pride did not pay that much and he got paid more to throw the fight.
@DrBananaKing7000 But Coleman didnt screw himself. Not only did he get paid well for throwing the fight, but he also got to fight for the Pride Openweight Grand Prix which he won.
Coleman could have ended this fight in the second he wanted if this wasn't fixed. Takada is so out of Coleman's league, especially a beast like Prime Coleman
so can anyone show proof fight was fixed instead of making alligations. and im sorry people-he did it too support his family, any real family and real person for that matter would not take a dive no matter what. and if its fixed and him n his family knew, i have absolutely no respect for punks like that. if it is really fixed-it shows coleman n his familys' weakness and lack of character and coleman as a fighter-well what fighter, if this is true- coleman is a fake ass punk made bitch
@babyface0514 You honestly Have no idea what you are talking about. lol.
From you calling coleman a punk made bitch, I can tell youve never stepped in the ring before yourself.
Family always comes first. If they offered me a contract with lots of money and all I had to do was throw a fight in another country, fuck yea, food on the table and a roof over my familys head. Don't insult a veteran of the sport when you have no idea what its like to even be in the ring or have a family to feed.
@babyface0514 Go tell Coleman in his face he is a bitch. U would not cause ur the bitch, faggot. Coleman did this in Japan were regulations r not strickly enforced. N u dont know the whole story as to why Coleman threw the fight. Keeping in mind that Coleman was working for Takada in his Pro Wrestling org, n Pride offer him good money n more fights in Japan, especially with MMA going thru the dark ages in America.
THIS video title is retarded, Coleman through a fight, anyone who knows anything about him knows he was under serious pressure at the time. The guy has done wonderous things for the sport, infact he is the sport, and he has definitely paid his dues and has his regrets. He is a hero, and a hall of famer for a reason. I hate that when you put his name into youtube that this is what comes up. Fucking asshole original poster should take this down or rename it.
i love how confused the announcers sounds when coleman gets caught. "NO NO NO!" "What the hell?"... one thing i wonder is if Takada knew it was a fixed fight also? seems like he could have gone for more submissions earlier unless both fighters knew an arranged time for the fight to end
@SteroidsMakeMeStrong The commentary for the Pride 1-8 English tapes was done around 2001-2. Watch Pride 3 and laugh your ass off at the commentary mistakes.
this is a matter of honor, and respect for the sport,obviously neither mark coleman or TheTNWrestler have any sense or self respect or honor,As a mixed martial artist,i have to say this is the most disgraceful thing you can do to ur fellow fighters n the sport period,Especially in a sport constantly heckled by naive politians n regular everyday civilians....im disgusted even sayin tht mark coleman is a mma artist,not even a good 1 at that,WE DONT DO THIS FOR THE MONEY WE DO IT FOR A DREAM
@TheKOKing504 I am so happy to see I've made such a good impact on your life. A dream my ass. I've been following this sport for over a decade. If it's a dream, then just go to the UFC and fight for free! Oh, didn't think you would. I don't like it was rigged, but it was a life or death situation for his career and life. And everyone knows it is fake so it's not like he's denying it.
@TheKOKing504 STFU wit ur over dramatic bullshit u bitch. This was in 1999. MMA was not even that established yet, UFC n America was going thru a dark age n practically on its death bed, and Japanese MMA had a very closed link Pro Wrestling in Japan n Pride was still just a baby. Even in Pancrase there were lots of works. Coleman was not thinking of that honor bullshit for a sport not even established, he was thinking of doing what was best for him n his family. Go fuck of with ur bitch ass.
@ 5:30......1999 mMarkColeman in Full Mount!!!! Any fighter would have been DONE....Definetly Fixed but, like tnawrestler said, gott pay the bills right
i'm an asian and at first i was proud when takada won...but is it true that this is all just a drama??? how shameful not only for japan but also asian, none for american...just do ur drama at pro wrestling u LITTLE FAT JAPANESSE LOSER!!!!!!!
i'm an asian and at first i was proud when takada won...but is it true that this is all just a drama??? how shameful not only for japan but also asian, none for american...just do ur drama at pro wrestling u LITTLE FAT JAPANESSE LOSER!!!!!!!
Bas Rutten comments about this fight on Joe Rogan's podcast he just had earlier today. He also talks about other fixed fights that happened in RINGS and Pancrase. Really cool stuff, if you're interested you should check it out and it's Bas Rutten telling awesome stories. You should watch all of it if you have time because it's really good, but that part is around the 1 hour 5 minute mark.
@miloandot Bas also says they knew Coleman was going to lose with a heel hook early in the second round because that was the word he had heard in the locker room. Thats why the commentating sounds so fake and not genuine. When you really LISTEN you can hear a difference compared to how they normally commentate. I haven't looked for the interview yet, but he said when he was doing interviews before the fight he called the fight to end exactly the way it did and Pride was pissed at him for it.
I don't understand all the hate towards coleman and all the statements saying that he sucked? The guy was a true pioneer, he created the Ground and Pound fighting system. He paved the way other great wrestlers who made a transition into MMA. I think the guy deserves some serious respect regardless if he had an isolated incident of fight fixing, in which he needed the money to support his family.
He did not disgrace America when he dented the 27 year old at the time unstoppable Vovchanchyn's head with knees. The hate he gets now is so disrespectful. Only if you were around from the late 90s and early 2000s would know how much of a beast he was.
@bluuurrr do you think his victory over Vovchanchyn was even genuine? I think he was guaranteed victory in the Pride 2000 GP for having agreed to take a loss to Takada in this fight/
its such a shame that life gets in the way of the fighting sports so oftain. boxing is the worst effected. as every one knows, theres no such thing as an unfixed boxing fight and has'nt been for years now. i just hope the Athletes who compete in MMA dont succumb to the same fate.

@kiwidubz you don't hear his voice? He knew the fight was a fix. Watch Joe Rogan's podcast that Bas was on, he explains the whole thing.

so can anyone show proof fight was fixed instead of making alligations. and im sorry people-he did it too support his family, any real family and real person for that matter would not take a dive no matter what. and if its fixed and him n his family knew, i have absolutely no respect for punks like that. if it is really fixed-it shows coleman n his familys' weakness and lack of character and coleman as a fighter-well what fighter, if this is true- coleman is a fake ass punk made bitch

@babyface0514 You honestly Have no idea what you are talking about. lol.
From you calling coleman a punk made bitch, I can tell youve never stepped in the ring before yourself.
Family always comes first. If they offered me a contract with lots of money and all I had to do was throw a fight in another country, fuck yea, food on the table and a roof over my familys head. Don't insult a veteran of the sport when you have no idea what its like to even be in the ring or have a family to feed.

@babyface0514 Go tell Coleman in his face he is a bitch. U would not cause ur the bitch, faggot. Coleman did this in Japan were regulations r not strickly enforced. N u dont know the whole story as to why Coleman threw the fight. Keeping in mind that Coleman was working for Takada in his Pro Wrestling org, n Pride offer him good money n more fights in Japan, especially with MMA going thru the dark ages in America.

THIS video title is retarded, Coleman through a fight, anyone who knows anything about him knows he was under serious pressure at the time. The guy has done wonderous things for the sport, infact he is the sport, and he has definitely paid his dues and has his regrets. He is a hero, and a hall of famer for a reason. I hate that when you put his name into youtube that this is what comes up. Fucking asshole original poster should take this down or rename it.

How is this disgracing America?? you're making it seem like it's a racist thing. He needed the money to support his family. leave it like that.

i love how confused the announcers sounds when coleman gets caught. "NO NO NO!" "What the hell?"... one thing i wonder is if Takada knew it was a fixed fight also? seems like he could have gone for more submissions earlier unless both fighters knew an arranged time for the fight to end

Could that finish have been anymore blatant. It was like Kurt Angle grabbing an Ankle Lock on Brock. Only much worse.

The thing that strikes me the most in this fight is that the commentators obviously know what's going on from the get go.

What does USA have to do with Mark Coleman? MMA isn't some national sport where he represents USA you stupid patriotic fucks.

this is a matter of honor, and respect for the sport,obviously neither mark coleman or TheTNWrestler have any sense or self respect or honor,As a mixed martial artist,i have to say this is the most disgraceful thing you can do to ur fellow fighters n the sport period,Especially in a sport constantly heckled by naive politians n regular everyday civilians....im disgusted even sayin tht mark coleman is a mma artist,not even a good 1 at that,WE DONT DO THIS FOR THE MONEY WE DO IT FOR A DREAM

@TheKOKing504 I am so happy to see I've made such a good impact on your life. A dream my ass. I've been following this sport for over a decade. If it's a dream, then just go to the UFC and fight for free! Oh, didn't think you would. I don't like it was rigged, but it was a life or death situation for his career and life. And everyone knows it is fake so it's not like he's denying it.
TheTNWrestler 10 months ago
@TheKOKing504 STFU wit ur over dramatic bullshit u bitch. This was in 1999. MMA was not even that established yet, UFC n America was going thru a dark age n practically on its death bed, and Japanese MMA had a very closed link Pro Wrestling in Japan n Pride was still just a baby. Even in Pancrase there were lots of works. Coleman was not thinking of that honor bullshit for a sport not even established, he was thinking of doing what was best for him n his family. Go fuck of with ur bitch ass.

Bas Rutten comments about this fight on Joe Rogan's podcast he just had earlier today. He also talks about other fixed fights that happened in RINGS and Pancrase. Really cool stuff, if you're interested you should check it out and it's Bas Rutten telling awesome stories. You should watch all of it if you have time because it's really good, but that part is around the 1 hour 5 minute mark.

@miloandot Bas also says they knew Coleman was going to lose with a heel hook early in the second round because that was the word he had heard in the locker room. Thats why the commentating sounds so fake and not genuine. When you really LISTEN you can hear a difference compared to how they normally commentate. I haven't looked for the interview yet, but he said when he was doing interviews before the fight he called the fight to end exactly the way it did and Pride was pissed at him for it.

I don't understand all the hate towards coleman and all the statements saying that he sucked? The guy was a true pioneer, he created the Ground and Pound fighting system. He paved the way other great wrestlers who made a transition into MMA. I think the guy deserves some serious respect regardless if he had an isolated incident of fight fixing, in which he needed the money to support his family.

SmurfMoua559 1 year ago
He did not disgrace America when he dented the 27 year old at the time unstoppable Vovchanchyn's head with knees. The hate he gets now is so disrespectful. Only if you were around from the late 90s and early 2000s would know how much of a beast he was.
bluuurrr 1 year ago
@bluuurrr do you think his victory over Vovchanchyn was even genuine? I think he was guaranteed victory in the Pride 2000 GP for having agreed to take a loss to Takada in this fight/

its such a shame that life gets in the way of the fighting sports so oftain. boxing is the worst effected. as every one knows, theres no such thing as an unfixed boxing fight and has'nt been for years now. i just hope the Athletes who compete in MMA dont succumb to the same fate.
