What makes this one memorable isn't so much the finish to the fight itself - Fedor by armbar submission in the second round - but what takes place at the immediate conclusion of the bout. Heavyweight pioneer Mark Coleman had once been a juggernaut in the sport, making his mark in the early days of both UFC and Pride, but those days were drawing to a close, and he was clearly outmatched against the man who was at the time one of the most elite fighters in the world. The fight say Coleman suffer a tremendous amount of damage, and once the bout was stopped his daughters climbed into the ring and joined their father. The moment yielded one of the most iconic images in mixed martial arts, with Coleman's young daughters in tears at the sight of their father's mangled face. Mark took a lot of criticism from people who said that he traumatized his children, but for their part they've now since grown up and called it an awesome experience. Imagine the emotion and drama that would come into play if WWE were to stage a scene like this. If they were averse to using a talent's actual children, they could always use one of their Make-A-Wish Foundation kids. Picture a small child rushing to the aid of John Cena after the beating he received from Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2014. It's probably a little more intense than WWE is willing to go, but there was a time where the pro wrestling industry would have been all about scripting such a powerful moment.
