CFFC 8 To Feature the Return of Jay Coleman

After four years away from competition, Jay Coleman will return at the next installment of the Cage Fury Fighting Championship in May.  Remember him?  The guy with heavy hands and an uncanny sense of timing that enabled him to knock wrestlers silly?  In his pro debut back at a Reality Fighting in 2005, he put his hands on Mike Massenzio and Massenzio forever lost the ability to juggle, and a year later Coleman KO'd Dominic Dellagatta so bad at a Ring of Combat, the accomplished wrestler never competed in MMA again.  Of course, Coleman did have a weakness for submissions, as evidenced by his losses to Dan Miller and Phillipe Nover, but when he was focused, he was a beast (just ask BJJ black belt Leo Dalla, who fell to Coleman in the New Jersey native's third pro bout).  So what can we expect from Coleman in 2011?  Hey man, how should I know?  It's just good to see a familiar - and very talented - fighter return to action.
