Coleman is credited with demonstrating that wrestlers could dominate in the developing sport of mixed martial arts and with being one of the first in American MMA to successfully use the ground-and-pound. He is known as the "Godfather of Ground and Pound" but unfortunately that is what he is starting to look like in the octagon as well. The legendary pair wrestled one another in a freestyle match at the 1989 Olympic Festival at Oklahoma State where Coleman won the match by one point, however, I think the outcome will be much different this time around.
