Looks like shit got pretty interesting yesterday. Man that Coleman is just a beast. Dudes been at it for years too! Wanderfags a bitch for going after Coleman, I knew I didnt like him for a reason. Enjoy bitches!

Pride FC Spoiler Shogun VS Coleman

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The stakes were high, with the winner of the bout gaining a berth into the upcoming PRIDE Open Weight Grand Prix. Moving up a weight class, “Shogun” was actually heavier than his American counterpart, tipping the scales at 227 pounds, whereas Coleman came in at 224.

After avoiding a big kick from “Shogun” right off the opening bell, Coleman charged into a clinch and managed to quickly get around to Rua’s back, only to see the Chute Boxe fighter roll and offer a solid triangle attempt. From here Coleman picked up the young Brazilian a la “Rampage” Jackson — though not as dramatically — and slammed him to the mat to escape the technique.

Upon losing the triangle, Rua grabbed on to Coleman’s leg, searching for a kneebar before transitioning to a toehold. “The Hammer” fended off the technique, getting to his feet and taking “Shogun” down just as the Chute Boxe fighter was off-balance.

On his way down, Rua twisted to face the mat and landed hard on his right arm. Upon impact, the Brazilian fighter’s elbow contorted a strange angle. Instantly seeing that something was wrong with Rua’s arm, the referee came charging in, pushing Coleman off the top of Shogun and calling an end to the fight at the 49-second mark.

This is where things reach a boiling point.

With the referee still holding Coleman, Chute Boxe members come charging to the ring to protect their teammate. In the flash of an eye, amongst the hordes of managers, trainers, PRIDE officials, judges, referees and security people all in the ring trying to separate everyone, Wanderlei Silva (Pictures) charged into the ring and went after Coleman. Then in the next instant, Coleman training partner Phil Baroni (Pictures) went after Silva.

As this chaotic scene unfolded, doctors attended to “Shogun” as he screamed in pain. The injury looked horrific on the reply — his right arm bent at a disturbingly unnatural angle at his elbow.

Rua left the ring under his own power and was immediately taken to hospital. At the time of this writing the extent of the Chute Boxe fighter’s injury is not yet known, but it’s likely he will be out of action for an extended period of time.
