Unpopular question...

I was watching a bunch of Mark Coleman fights in prep for his upcoming fight with Brock Lesnar. I noticed this fight against Takada (which to be honest I had never seen) in which he apparently throws the fight. You can even notice that at 2:25 and 8:45 and 9:35 Bas and Quadros seem very confused as to why Mark is purposely putting himself in especially bad positions. Coleman is taking Takada down at will (ending in side control) and then sliding back to guard, eventually giving up the heel hook. Was this ever confirmed a work? And could Coleman have been "persuaded" to lose to Brock to put the next superstar over a hall of famer.


please- check my previous posts. I have never bashed a fighter (I have too much respect for that) just an honest observation

It's a work but his fight with Brock will be legit.

Thank you. Was there ever any proof to this?
