Media Celebrating Black History Month - UFC’s first black champion

[Corrado Soprano]

His explosiveness, his raw, uncut power. His relentless pace and ability to bang other men into submission. His thick, strong muscular body with tremendous girth, and size helped him become the first black champion.

 

[STRAWBOSS]

Coleman's gassing is like none other and if harnessed would solve any energy crisis

 

[Blanqa Blanqua]

Nice!

I tried to find a gif of Randleman's epic vertical leap to contribute, but could not find one. (Once a Sherdog standard to judge athletic ability by)

instead, I present this:

Wouldn't it make them much worse?

RIP Kev

May he Rest in Power

For those of us that were watching at the time and following each event, this was a shocker. No one thought a striker could beat a dominant grappler like Coleman.

 

[Khaosan]

“Uncut”.

Word.




If I find the vert leap gif I'll edit it in.

Edit:
I only just realised the thread was about one particular Champ., hope I did not derail. Sorry to have missed that @Corrado Soprano

That was a good ass fight. Kudos to Smith for not freaking out when Coleman got the takedown early.

No problem friend! Sherdog is a positive place where we celebrate the fighters who risk their lives for our entertainment.

Don't forget the first black King of violence BKFC champion

 

[RonDante]

Coleman's gassing is like none other and if harnessed would solve any energy crisis

Him versus shogun 2 was a masterclass in staying competitive with no energy

[Pequeño Corey]

Yea Mo Smith sure was girthy. Kevin Lee was the first Asian interim champ I think. So there’s that.

I love this brief clip (time stamped) right before the fight where Mo says Coleman 'punches like a girl.'

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Yea first black champ in BKFC.

Nobody on Sherdog these days were born before the year 2000 bro, except me 1983.
