UFC Quick Quote: Mark Coleman didn't have enough money to train right for UFC 93 fight

Stay connected for news and updates

"I didn't have any money for a training camp before this fight. Those things cost money man and I just couldn't afford it."

-- Former heavyweight champion Mark Coleman had an "explosive" reaction in the dressing room after his third round technical knockout loss to Mauricio "Shogun" Rua at UFC 93: "Franklin vs. Henderson" at The O2 in Dublin, Ireland, on January 17. He was upset, according to The Telegraph, about the referee's decision to stop the bout with just seconds on the clock, as well his lack of funds to train properly for the match. Perhaps he will not have similar complaints in the future now that UFC President Dana White curiously awarded Coleman and the Brazilian $40,000 each for putting on a "Fight of the Night"-caliber performance ... in his eyes. Check out a video of Coleman's post-fight reaction in the locker room after the jump.
