Joe Rogan and Mark Coleman’s friendly brawl
Mark ‘The Hammer’ Coleman once got into a friendly brawl with Joe Rogan at UFC 203 backstage. The friendly grapple turned serious as instinct kicked in and Coleman gave a hard shove to Rogan. The commentator ended up colliding with a wall. Thankfully, no injuries were received by him.
During the brawl, when Joe Rogan was in control of Coleman’s back, ‘The Hammer’ confessed to having no choice as his instincts kicked in. “All of a sudden, out of instinct, I had no choice but to turn around and face him, and I would say I gave him a gentle push. Because I could’ve given him a hundred times more”, he said.
Although Rogan couldn’t stand anywhere near Coleman’s brute force, the UFC Hall of Famer praised Rogan by saying that he was “cool as hell”, “funny as sh*t” and “awesome”.
