[edit] Rivalry with Chute Boxe

Hammer House was involved in a short but memorable rivalry with Chute Boxe which started at PRIDE 31 after a confrontation erupted between Chute Boxe members Wanderlei Silva and Murilo Rua, and Team Hammer House members Coleman and Baroni. The conflict began after Coleman pushed aside the referee who tried to restrain him from continuing his attack on an injured Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, Coleman stopped the attack when he realised that his opponent was injured. Despite this Silva and other Chute Boxe members attacked Coleman in the ring, Baroni took Silva to the ground and Wanderlei had to be restrained with a foot placed on his head. [2] Following the event, Coleman attempted to apologize to Chute Boxe, but the apology was not accepted. [3] [4]

[edit] PRIDE 32 The Real Deal

Team Hammer House was heavily represented at Pride FC's first American show, PRIDE 32 in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 21, 2006, being involved in 3 of the 8 fights including the two overcard bouts. Hammer House member Kevin Randleman not Mark Coleman faced a now healthy Chute Boxe member Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. Rua won via Submission (Kneebar)at 2:35 of the very first round. Phil Baroni defeated Japanese Pro-Boxer turned MMA fighter Yosuke Nishijima via Technical Submission (Kimura) at 3:20 of the 1st round. Mark Coleman was given the opportunity to fight Pride's Undefeated Heavyweight Champion Fedor Emelianenko for a second time. In a finish very similar to their first encounter Fedor was able to apply an ambar from the bottom and Coleman submitted at 1:15 of the second round.
