XCLSVE EP 1 :
Inside The XCLSVE Circle: Mark Coleman, UFC’s First Heavyweight Champion

In the world of combat sports, some names echo through history — and Mark Coleman is one of them. As the first-ever UFC Heavyweight Champion, his impact on mixed martial arts is impossible to overstate. Yet behind the titles, the records, and the iconic moments, there is a story that rarely gets told.

We recently had the privilege of sitting down with Coleman for an exclusive session inside The XCLSVE Circle. This isn’t content you’ll find on YouTube, X, or Spotify. No media polish. No cheering crowds. Just a candid conversation with a man who shaped a sport.

During our discussion, Coleman opened up about the defining moments of his career — from the pressure of stepping into the octagon as a pioneer, to the mindset that allowed him to dominate in an era when MMA was still finding its footing. It was a glimpse into the thought process of a champion, the decisions behind the victories, and the resilience that carried him through setbacks.

The XCLSVE Circle is about more than early access. It’s about providing a space where legends speak freely, sharing insights and stories that may never be public. For fans, fighters, and anyone who respects the craft, this is a rare opportunity to learn directly from those who lived it.

Being part of The XCLSVE Circle means valuing the culture of the sport, understanding its history, and connecting with the people who helped define it. It’s an invitation to see beyond the headlines, beyond the hype, to the essence of what makes MMA extraordinary.
