On the night Mark Coleman (Pictures) was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame, the former UFC heavyweight champion and Pride Grand Prix winner announced he will return to Octagon against Brock Lesnar (Pictures).

Scheduled for Aug. 9 in Minneapolis, Minn., the UFC 87 bout will be the first of a four-fight deal Coleman signed Saturday, Sherdog.com has confirmed.

"I'm gonna dedicate my life to this," said Coleman during the UFC 82 pay-per-view. "The fans want to see me. I'm going to pay my dues. I'm going to do the best I can. He's a beast. He's an animal. Don't bet the house against me. I'm going to bring something for Brock Lesnar (Pictures)."

Coleman (15-8) has not fought a bout in the UFC since losing to Pedro Rizzo (Pictures) in 1999.

Lesnar (1-1) made his UFC debut on Feb. 2 in a losing effort to another former UFC heavyweight champ, Frank Mir (Pictures).
