Mark Coleman was recently released from the hospital because it looked like his condition was getting better. However, once he and his family were in their Columbus home, things started taking a bad turn. It must’ve barely been an hour when he started experiencing pain once again.

 

“Yesterday my dad was released from st vincents in Toledo where they thought he was stable enough to go home,” Kenzie Coleman wrote from her dad’s Instagram account. “We were only home for about an hour in Columbus when he started to have numbness in his arms and chest pain. Of course my sister and I rushed him back to the hospital where we found out he has now developed pneumonia.”

She told the fans that their prayers and efforts were much appreciated and that Coleman was still his fiery self as he got back into the hospital. Further updates are awaited on the UFC Hall-of-Famer’s condition. In the meantime, a GoFundMe campaign by the family is up to help Coleman pay the bills.

Unfortunately for him, while his family members survived and came out well, he wasn’t able to save Hammer, the beloved family dog. In a recent video shared by Kenzie Coleman, the former UFC fighter can be seen breaking down over the incident.
