Mark Coleman explains viral video of him pushing Joe Rogan into a wall: "I feel horrible"
UFC legend Mark Coleman has finally addressed a widely circulated video showing him shoving commentator Joe Rogan into a wall during a playful wrestling match.
The resurfaced video depicts a playful wrestling match between Coleman and Rogan, a longtime friend, that escalates quickly. A possibly intoxicated Coleman throws Rogan across the room with a forceful shove.
Despite the video's circulation, Coleman rarely discussed the incident. However, on a recent episode on the Jaxxon Podcast, he shed some light on the viral clip:
"Well. it was after one of Joe's [Comedy] shows. Gave him little hug, but then when we hugged, it turned into a little wrestling thing. And then takes my back. Everybody thinks Joe let out, cause he had my back. But his face was in my lower back, he didn't have my back, he had my middle lower back, but I just turned to face him. I was clearing some space, he was off balance as hell. So I chuck him into the wall, thank god he wasn't hurt, man."
Despite his explanation, Coleman confessed:
"I feel bad. Oh yeah I feel horrible. But he can take it, you know. He was cool with it. He just couldn't believe how strong I was."

Mark Coleman backs Mike Tyson in upcoming bout against Jake Paul
UFC legend Mark Coleman offered his take on the highly anticipated boxing match between YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul and boxing icon Mike Tyson, scheduled for July 20.
Despite the 30-year age gap that heavily favors Paul, Coleman believes ‘Iron Mike’ still holds a good chance of winning. He acknowledged the risk Tyson is taking but emphasized his experience.
Speaking to Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour, the UFC Hall of Famer said:
"Mike Tyson's been doing this his whole life. He knows what the hell he's getting involved with. He might get hit. He might get knocked out. It won't be the first time. He's doing it again, man. He's getting paid millions of dollars, and he's taking a risk. He believes he can do it. He ain't getting there for the money. Mike Tyson believes he's gonna knock this kid's head off. And I think he's got a good chance to do it."
The heavyweight legend also highlighted the mental challenge both fighters will face. While Tyson's experience can be an advantage, Paul will need nerves of steel to step into the ring with a legend like Tyson.
He said:
"Is there a guarantee? Hell no ... Jake Paul has got to make it to the ring without pi**ing his pants because [he's] fighting Mike Tyson; I don't care what age, it's the scariest thing you can ever think about."
