In reacting to news of the UFC's recent accident-insurance policy, Mark Coleman calls himself a former fighter. He then stops himself.
"Well, not a former fighter," Coleman recently told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). "I may fight again. But probably my UFC days are over."
The 46-year-old UFC Hall of Famer admits that his athletic career is on borrowed time. But there is one fight that would make him feel young again.
"An opportunity to fight Herschel Walker would be something that I would drop everything (for) and try to train and prepare for him," Coleman said.
The idea of fighting the former football star turned MMA fighter started as a rumor, of course. Coleman has received several offers to get back in the cage since Randy Couture dominated him at UFC 109. None of them, however, has been exciting enough for him to consider the idea of getting back in the gym.
"I've had some offers that intrigued me, but at the same time, I don't want to be a journeyman," he said. "I don't want to go out there and get my butt whupped for a paycheck. If it comes down to that, I might do it. But right now, I'm able to survive."
