On July 12, 1996, the UFC 10 tournament took place, where, according to the traditional Olympic system, 8 fighters fought for victory. At the time, fans were mostly into the tournament style, as it was thought to add an element of stamina to the fighters. The event was broadcast live on pay-per-view in the United States and was later released on VHS. Then the legendary Bruce Buffer, who is still an indispensable UFC ring announcer, announced the fights in the octagon for the first time. But there is another fact that has become important for the history of the development of mixed martial arts. This is the debut at this tournament of the talented American wrestler Mark Coleman, who is considered the founder and pioneer of the "ground and pound" strategy. This style of ground control has been, is, and will be used by all successful mixed martial arts fighters.

    • Hello Anthony. I am suffering with constipation today. I had a horribly painful shit 5 minutes ago. the head of the turd was the same size as a baby's head. It felt like I was giving birth to a smelly baby. I had to use a plastic spoon to prize the turd out. As soon as the head cleared my sphincter the rest slipped out relatively easy but it was an ordeal. Do you live near me?

They were in the original UFC shows with no rules, no weight classes, no rounds... Coleman was great like many great MMA fighters before and after, but he does not stick out as different or special at all to me since he just did what Severn and Frye used to do but maybe a bit more mixed.

    • I remember being 19 or 20 and wanting to sign up at a college sport bar down the street from where I lived. I wasn't allowed to enter the tournament because I wasn't a black belt in anything. They wanted karate black belts or Kung Fu black sashes and Brazilian Jiujitsu which was new at the time and boxers who had some amateur fights or golden gloves or pro and I didn't have that. What I did have was training just to train and I followed the Bruce Lee way even before I knew who he was. I wanted to learn everything and anything. I would wrestle my cousin who went to state and handle him easily and I was 5'8" and 155 lbs. I had over 100 fights on the streets beating high school kids when I was 11 and by 16, I was fighting grown ups and laying them out so I knew how to fight and I didn't think I would win the tournament but I was looking to get notice because I was poor at the time and needed a job. I moved away from doing that when I had a work accident that kept me out of that and a 75th Ranger contract in the Army. Damn! Life sucks and then we die but I got saved by Jesus Christ and that's the most successful thing a person could do in life and I accomplished that. Good day!

    • Yes and Maurice Smith was the FIRST true world class striker and beat him after 3 months of counter grappling with Frank Shamrock. If Maurice could of shin Kicked Coleman as he got up Coleman would of gone to Hospital with a full shin kick to his face. Colemen kept putting a Hand on the floor which negated Thai Kicks to the head of a floored fighter. Frank and Maurice and Vitor Don Frye and Randy were the first real strikers. I mean Tank Abbot was a freak but was never gonna match the next level fighters ever.
