Despite earlier reports stating that Brock Lesnar's next fight in the UFC would be against Justin McCully, it was announced at UFC 82 on Pay Per View last night that first-ever UFC Heavyweight Title holder and now UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman (43 years old) was offered a return fight with Lesnar for later this year.

According to MMAjunkie.com, Coleman's last MMA fight was back in October of 2006 against well known heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko at PRIDE 32 where he lost via submission. Coleman's last UFC fight was back at UFC 18 on January 8, 1999.
