Prayers up for Mark Coleman.
UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman is hospitalized after saving his parents from a house fire on Tuesday morning.
Coleman pulled his mother and father out of the house but suffered smoke inhalation after going back in to rescue his dog. Members from seven different fire departments responded to the scene after the fire reportedly broke out in the kitchen of the home.
The cause of the fire has not been revealed. Local authorities haven’t made any further statements regarding the fire.
Wes Sims posted the following update on Facebook:
“I’m a very firm believer in the power of prayer. I sent family and some friends a few pictures of Mark Coleman’s current condition. I know Mark, if he could talk he’d say ‘film this s***, Wes, we are going viral!’
“Mark’s parents’ house burnt down last night. Mark saved both [his parents] and went back for Hammer, his dog. He was life flighted to Toledo and is currently intubated and sedated. I swear to God he’s one of the toughest individuals ever created, been through so much a movie at this point could not give his life’s work justice!”
Coleman was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2018. He is a former UFC Heavyweight Champion, winning the heavyweight tournament at UFC 10 and UFC 11.
Fightful sends prayers and best wishes to Coleman and his family.
