Fight changing mistakes... do you hold a grudge?

[Captain America]

I'm still pissed at Sean Tompkins for his shitty cornering of Mark Coleman vs Randy Couture. "Keep your distance, work your jab, set up your combos, and forget that fucking double leg and ground and pound that won you three world titles and made you the undisputed best in the world on two occasions!" That was the stupidest gameplan possible for that fight! Couture's not great off his back, put him on his ass and punch his fucking face in! That cost him what was left of his career, terrible gameplan and worse cornering. Yes, I still hold a grudge with Tompkins for fucking up Coleman's career.

The Pope could have been in his corner it still wouldn't have changed the outcome.

Hahaha! Maybe so, but I'd've liked to see him try and take him down. Couture's problems (with a few exceptions) come from bigger, stronger grapplers. Coleman fits the bill.

Coleman fit the bill back in his pride days and early UFC but at that point in his career he wasn't even a shadow of himself. The fight was about who had aged better really and Couture wins that every time.
