The UFC world had quite a shock hearing about the unfortunate incident that fell upon the UFC Legend, Mark Coleman, and his family around 2:00 am on Tuesday. The house of Coleman’s parents caught on fire which resulted in tragedy for the family.
Though both of Coleman’s parents were unharmed due to the retired fighter’s heroism, the same can’t be said for the fighter and the family dog. Coleman helped his parents out of the house and went back in to save their family dog, Hammer. This led to him inhaling too much smoke, rendering him unconscious inside the burning house along with his dog. Coleman was airlifted to Toledo where he still remains in a medically induced coma. Meanwhile, Coleman’s daughters have reached out to the MMA community to help the family in any way possible.
