*** UPDATE ***
It appears that Mario Sukata has been injured and will not be able to fight at UFC 63
***************
Mark Pickering over at FightOpinion.com is reporting that form UFC Heavyweight Champion and current Pride fighter, Mark Coleman will be fighting Mario Sukata in the UFC in September, most likely at UFC 63.
Mario Sukata’s teammate, Alex Cook, reportedly gave this information. Head on over to FightOpinion.com to check it out. There has been talk recently about Coleman’s return to MMA fighting in the USA, but it was unknown if it would be in Pride, UFC, WFA, or any of the other promotions. Coleman won the first UFC Heavyweight title at UFC 12 and then went to fight in Pride FC and became the first Pride Grand Prix champion in 2000 where he defeated Igor Vovchanchyn in the finals.
I hope this report is legit. I would love to see Coleman fight some of the current UFC heavyweights, since the division is currently so anemic.

It’s already been stated some time ago by the Wolfslair Managment that this fight is going to happen. Sukata has a UFC deal now (He’s an old school VT fighter, a BJJ Black Belt and has trained guys like Antronio Silva and Mike Bisping)
Does Sukata have much of a chance against Coleman?
To be honest, I have no idea. I wouldn’t think so, but you never know in this game.
Sukata can win. He´s an stronger fighter, and Brazilian Jiu jitsu expert.
Sukata win de fight.
