After last night's main event at UFC 109, Dana White had some dismal words to say about Mark Coleman's future with the organization.

"I think tonight was probably Coleman's last fight in the UFC," White told reporters.

Coleman suffered a second-round submission loss to Randy Couture. The fight had been tauted as "the old man's fight," but the match up was 12 years in the making. Over his career, Coleman has fought with the UFC for two separate runs, while making a seven-year stint in Pride.

"I have nothing but respect for [Coleman]," said White. "And I'll say this now, too: Mark Coleman has always been a stand-up guy to me... It's tough to say, 'It's over, and I've got to hang it up.'  It's the toughest thing in the world, and I hate dealing with it. It sucks."

A big factor in White's decision came from Coleman's age. Currently 45, Coleman was 32 when he won the first-ever UFC heavyweight title back in 1997.

"He'll always be a part of this organization," said White. "I just think he'll have a hard time competing with the guys at the top level. Age is a factor with him."

But after his loss to Couture, Coleman called out Tito Ortiz. This might be a fight that some fans are interested in, but White implied that the possibilities of it happening are very small.

"Tito is a lot younger than him," he said. "And Tito's talking [expletive] to Coleman after Coleman just lost the fight that's wanted his whole life."

In addition, Ortiz has another obligation: TUF 11. Once the show wraps, Ortiz will be in line to fight Chuck Liddell, which will be his next fight in the Octagon. For an Ortiz vs. Coleman fight to happen at all, it would more than likely have to take place in late 2010 or early 2011. However, with time not on Coleman's side, it does not seem like White will keep Coleman around for that long.

"Tito's fighting Chuck," White said. "I'm not even thinking about Tito/Coleman."

In last night's fight, Couture got the upper hand in the battle and dominated Coleman for one and a half rounds. At 46, Couture is often considered to be a phenomenon in the fight game. After holding both the light-heavyweight and heavyweight belts, he is still a top 10 - even top five, according to White - fighter in the light-heavyweight division.

But since the Couture vs. Coleman fight was originally supposed to happen at UFC 17 in May 1998, Coleman had been waiting for nearly 12 years to take on his fellow Hall-of-Famer. In the UFC 109 Countdown show, which aired on Spike TV, White revealed that Coleman had called him and asked for a fight against Couture. White then called Couture, who accepted, and the wheels were put in motion.

"This fight was a dream for Coleman," White said. "It was a dream of his to fight Randy Couture, and he wanted this thing bad. He said it best at the press conference. He said, 'Randy Couture has accomplished a lot of things and has a lot of things. I want to take some of those things from him Saturday night.'"

But even though the fight did not end the way Coleman had wanted it to, he will always be a UFC Hall-of Famer and "the Godfather of ground-and-pound."
