In the May 2 edition of The MMA Report, John Pollock is joined by former UFC heavyweight champion Mark "The Hammer" Coleman to discuss his time as an assistant coach on the 19th season of "The Ultimate Fighter", coming to terms with retirement and his near venture into professional wrestling earlier in his career. Also, MMA journalist Todd Martin (Sherdog, L.A. Times blog, Wrestling Observer) returns to the show to talk UFC 172 aftermath. The MMA Report: Featuring Mark Coleman and Todd Martin You can catch The MMA Report every Friday at 11pm et on TSN 1050 in Toronto. -- Coleman, the former Olympic wrestler, talks about coaching alongside BJ Penn on the UFCs hit reality show and what it was like to lend his knowledge and experience to a new generation of fighters, despite a nagging hip injury. "BJ Penn gave me that offer and its just something that I felt I cant refuse," Coleman said. "I was just so excited to do it ... When I walked through the gym doors, I just kind of, like riding a bike it just came back to me and I gave my heart and all to it and it was probably one of the coolest things I ever got to do. Not probably, it was one of the coolest things Ive ever done in my life." And while Coleman had the opportunity to teach the next wave of fighters, he also admits he learned a few things himself. "I still was lucky enough. I did get through and I did still get to whoop their butts in straight wrestling because Im still a pretty good wrestler but I would not want to do an MMA fight with these guys or any of these UFC guys any more. Its amazing how far this sport has come," he said. -- Martin, who had the pleasure of covering UFC 172 live from the Baltimore Arena on April 26, says the event lived up to the hype even in an older venue. "From the literal standpoint, not so well. From a figurative standpoint, tremendously," Martin said. "Literally, the Baltimore Arena is a dump, I mean, its a very very old arena that has bee hosting events for decades and its not in a very good shape at all, but its a great building. The acoustics are great, the live crowd, for whatever reason." And for a guy who has been to shows all across the U.S., Canada and overseas, Martin said the fans in Maryland were a big part of a great show. "This show was a crowd that was really super enthusiastic and very knowledgable about the sport," he said. "It was really quite the crowd and it made for a really exciting event ... (UFC president) Dana White, after the event, seemed really enthusiastic aboutrunning Baltimore in the future." Nike Shoes China . However, it wasnt a problem on Monday night.

Here come the road-tested Baltimore Ravens for a divisional game Saturday.Theres nothing that the crowd can do to help you make the plays that youre supposed to make, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said.The Ravens arent likely to get rattled even against the AFCs top-seeded team. Not with cool Joe Flacco at quarterback and a 2-1 playoff record at Gillette Stadium in the past five seasons.Baltimore has 10 post-season road wins, all since 2008 and tied with Green Bay for most in NFL history.Why so many?Well, shoot, we cant get ourselves any home (games), I guess, Flacco said. Weve obviously had a lot of chances at (road games), a lot of experience with it, and reacted well in it.The Ravens won three road playoff games and the Super Bowl in the 2012 season. Last Saturday they won a wild-card game 30-17 in Pittsburgh while the Patriots had a bye.We could be going to play on Mars and Id still be very confident, Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith said.Since Belichick became coach in 2000, the Patriots are 1-2 in the playoffs against the Ravens and 11-1 against all other teams.New England lost AFC championship games to Baltimore in the 2009 and 2012 seasons and beat them in the 2011 season before losing the Super Bowl to the New York Giants.Both the Patriots (12-4) and sixth-seeded Ravens (11-6) insist thats irrelevant now with players and assistant coaches who werent in those earlier games.Thats all overblown, Baltimore coach John Harbaugh said. Its how well you play the game in that three-hour block against the opponent.Despite the personnel changes, the teams know each other very well.It seems like the Baltimore Ravens are a division opponent, we play them so much, Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork said.The last time they met, the Patriots won 41-7 late last season. But that was in Baltimore.On Saturday, the Ravens will be in a stadium where their only playoff loss was by three points.Weve had a good football team around here, Flacco said, and guys that are strong and not intimidated.Some things to watch as the Patriots seek their fourth straight AFC championship berth:FLACCOS TIME: Playoff time is Flaccos time to shine. Hes thrown 13 touchddown passes and no interceptions during the Ravens current five-game post-season winning streak.dddddddddddd In the wild-card win over Pittsburgh, he threw for 259 yards and two touchdowns.Big-time players show up when you need them most, Smith said.He and Flaccos main target, Steve Smith, will have stiff challenges in cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner, both in their first season with New England.PRESSURING BRADY: The Ravens were tied for second in the NFL with 49 sacks, led by 17 from Elvis Dumervil and 12 from Terrell Suggs. The Patriots offensive line has improved after early-season problems, but Brady may have to throw quickly to avoid being sacked.I dont think you want to stand back there and see how long you can hold the ball against these guys, he said.GRONKS BACK: Rob Gronkowski has been healthy and dominant all season after a knee injury kept him out of the last five games last season, including a playoff loss to Denver.Its always special just being in the playoffs, he said. I cant take it for granted.Gronkowski had 82 catches, led all tight ends with 1,124 yards receiving and tied Antonio Gates for most touchdowns at that position with 12.Hes big. Hes fast. Hes tough. Hes nasty, Harbaugh said. He gets the ball in his hands and he wants to punish people.FORSETTS EMERGENCE: Journeyman running back Justin Forsett turned into a cornerstone of the Ravens offence after Ray Rice was released and suspended. Forsett was fifth in the NFL with a career-high 1,266 yards rushing and led the leagues running backs with 5.4 yards per carry.He reads blocking schemes very well, sets up blocks well, has got good vision and he makes a lot of yards on his own, Belichick said.COLD FACTS: With temperatures expected in the teens, Wilfork still plans to wear short sleeves. He grew up in Florida and played college football at Miami.I dont care if its minus 2 or 98, you have to be able to play that football game, and the more you can just focus on your opponent and everything else just block it out, the better youll be, he said.The Ravens opened the doors to their indoor practice facility to get acclimated to the chill expected Saturday.We know its going to be cold, Baltimore linebacker Darryl Smith said. I guess that, mentally, did a little something for us (to) get ready for the game.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
