Coleman’s the tougher of the two ... He’s got the chin. Everyone knows what kind of fighter [Mauricio] ‘Shogun’ [Rua] is, and you saw what [Coleman] did with a week’s worth of training [at UFC 93]. He got the s--t kicked out of him, but he didn’t quit.
He went in there and wasn't able to do anything. Randy pretty much beat him everywhere ... It's tough (for an athlete) to say it's over and hang 'em up. It's the toughest thing in the world, and I hate dealing with it. It sucks.
This guy is no more real than the Loch Ness Monster ... And if he needs me to expose him, then I will.
It will be a verbal beatdown ... Anderson Silva will be in tears before it's all over.
