@@CluedUp23 Coleman is an intense personality that I think just triggers some people. I'm a huge fan of him... what an absolute warrior. Some people dont understand what these pioneers of MMA went through, it was brutal.
What an absolute tear jerker! Coleman is the man & I hope UFC took care of him, he definitely deserves it for what he contributed to the sport. A true Legend, Pioneer and an all around great man! God bless you champ!
@fern me too brother. Divorce traumatizes kids, but it's better that way than living in a toxic home. Myself, my son and my ex are far happier now than ever.
@@ImOldGreggg Yes, same here, my two daughters, my ex wife and i are doing way better without being cramped together and quarrel about everything. Some are just not build for having a family but end up having one anyway, so sometimes it's better to face the facts and get some distance for the sake of every one involved.
You can’t put your body through all of that and have it not shut down. I’m no fighter but i was in the ring as a kid and played basketball and baseball. Very little football...and my knees and back are jacked up! I have to warm up just to warm up! Lol. This guy did 100 times that.
MAYBE a lil punch drunk, but wow, hat's off to the guys that lay their life on the line in the cage for our entertainment,..sad really...but it's a warrior mentality
Watching one of the greatest badasses to ever grace the octagon try and do his daughter's hair made me choke up a bit. I have nothing but respect for Mark Coleman, and I wish him nothing but the best for him and his family as his life goes on. 'Cause that's what life does for us all. It just goes on.
Those early fight he had were just won because he could wrestle, I don't think the opponents knew what they were getting into because I imagine if he did stand up he would of had less of a chance. He's also jacked up on steroids.
There was a greater sadness in his voice when speaking about his daughters and his divorce than for his losses. I feel for, Mark Coleman. I hope things are better with him and his family.
I met Mark years ago toward the end of his career. We took a pic posing with our fists up. He’s one of the nicest people in the world. Mark. I wish you all the best in the world. And the best with your daughters. You are an exceptional person. Your humility shines.
Yeah, I saw that fight live. It was tough to watch. At one point Coleman kept punching a stoic Fedor to try to show his little girls that Fedor is not dangerous and Fedor just stood there and took it. Class act all the way.
@SavageHenry762 Yeah throwing in the daughters in the ring after the fight was really fucked up. Who's decision was that, some japanese or an american?
Worked out at same gym as him in Columbus, OH back in like 2003. He was a nice guy. Not overly friendly but he’d always talk to you and answer questions as far as giving tips etc.
@Zeek Banistor I was joking brother my daughter loves me more than life itself. And she is my world I do all the things you mentioned and more. And trust me I am dreading her teenage years. I know the time I have with her the way she is now is finite. But brother ima injoy every moment of it. Thanks for the kind gesture tho.
"I'm getting better at doing hair." Not a sentence I would have ever predicted to hear from the Hammer. I'm glad he is doing well. I hope he and his extended family are all very happy. That man certainly made a lot of fight fans very happy.
Well the terrifying badass was juiced up all the time. And the gentle isn't. my guess. Either way it's awesome that he looks back on it all and gives credit where its deserved.
After seeing how he lives now you just hope that the UFC comes up with some sort of fighters union. For the amount of damage that's done to them throughout their entire career, some fighters just don't get compensated the way they should. If anyone has opposing views I’m more than glad to hear what you have to say. And man why’s everyone so toxic we should all accept each others opinions, because this is a very current topic in the UFC.
@Austin King has never stepped in the ring. dude your comment does not elude to the fact that they were paid peanuts and taken advantage of and still are to this day. Go fight in some small promotion and get your ass whooped for $100. A lot UFC fights today can barely pay the bills and coaching staff while the UFC makes billions.
Mark, you and I went through the same thing with a divorce and two daughters. It almost killed me. This video shows me what a stand up individual you are and you’re an inspiration to me. Thanks Mark
Put his body on the line for his family, even though he separated he still gives his all for another women & her children... this is the man, inspiring dude.
Man ufc is KILLING these 🥺 got me choked up when his daughter’s said they’re proud of him, you just see the emotion overwhelm his face. Scary guy with a beautiful soul.
I can feel the pain of his divorce in his voice. It really is painful when someone is truly wanting the family life like mark did. I went through it also, and the scars run so deep, and don't ever seem to heal. Only people who have been through it would understand. Men usually suffer the most because the courts lean towards the female auto winning and also society does not want to hear or allow the man the open up about his pain. Men are just told to suck it up and move on while the woman gets all she wants financially and emotionally. I wish him the best he is a good man inside
that why MGTOW (Men going their own way) is so popular these days. I eventually want a family but would never be crazy enough to do it in a Westernized country where feminism dominates. Your much better off moving to Asia or Latin America if you want to start a family.
Sadly, mark will never have the same relationship with his older daughters as he did when they were little. During divorce the mother will brainwash the kids into thinking the dad is the bad guy and things will never be the same.
Dude same, watching these legends reflect on their careers and triumphs+struggles brings me to tears when nothing else will! So beautiful seeing this man reflect on an amazing career. One of our MMA founding fathers!
This man saved his parents from a burning building, went back for Hammer (the dog that alerted him about the fire). They found him unconscious inside the burning house. This man is a real one!
This guy prefers being a father than fighting,.. why should we care as fight fans about this undedicated clown??? As a fight fan I want to see content on absolute passionate fighters that would put up their kids for adoption so he could schedule more fights with the extra free time!!
Mma gloves do less brain damage than boxing gloves over the course of a fight. Also most boxers do retarded sparring whereas MMA is more intelligent with training.
People forget how brutal mma was back then and dont realize that these guys are different warriors compared to the ones today who will fake an injury by eye pokes and lows blows every now and then
Alot of these mma pioneers weren't necessarily going for the career that unfolded before them. I think Colemans interviews / parts in Mark Kerr documentary The Smashing Machine tells a story where it's obvious that there is alot of ambiguity regarding his motives and tbh financially seemed to be the most important one - that's some intense pressure..
Man you can tell he got out of this "sorta" at the right time. Seems to have all his marbles and then some. Really good to see he's doing all right, great gf, good relationship with all of the kids.
I love his relationship with his daughters. That is the best portion of this video. MC sounds like a wonderful father, which is the best compliment anyone can have. Great job sir !!
I remember that he introduced his daughters to Fedor after fight on the ring . That scene was most impressive for MMA's history. Thank you for coming my country many times.. I could watch many legend scene in Japan.
First saw Mark Coleman when I watched “the smashing machine” back in the day. If you haven’t seen it give it a watch. It’s kind of sad to see him like this now the guy was an absolute monster. He looks like a totally different person. Seems a really nice guy. The ufc should look after these legends who built the sport and throw them some cash! Please do a where are they now on Mark Kerr! 💪🏻👏🏻
Smashing Machine is a great documentary, but very sad. I watch it a few times each year. There is a moving coming soon, I have read, with The Rock playing Mark Kerr.
he's the definition of Humility. You can sure tell how important every member of his family is to him, that was a beautiful production and to be honest he's what made it so beautiful.
Prayers up for Mark 😔❤️🙏🏽 Last night Mark was with his parents at a renovation rental property Hammer (Marks dog) woke him up and the house was on fire The enormity of the blaze had Mark pick his father up and run him out of the house, he returned to get his mother all of her hair burnt off When Mark went back in to get his dog he passed out in the house He was airlifted to the hospital and it doesn’t look good He's dog also unfortunately passed away 😔 such a sad suitation
Much respect to him. He did everything he could. Almost didn't make it out himself. I hope he gets a full recovery and I'm sure one day he'll see his dog again someday...just hopefully not soon.

I expected some great ground and pound highlights. Instead I got a great tale of a great man and ended up with tears in my eyes. Love these videos UFC.
Very moving video that was well put together showcasing a great man, fighter and father. He has a great voice and tells the story well. Seeing him with his families brought tears and at the end seeing him eating wearing a Kevin Randleman (RIP Kev) t shirt really got me!
Dan Severin looked like the big fireman that would fix all our bikes at the station down the street from my house. He was so soft spoken and a happy guy.
Props to Mark Coleman. He seems like a good man. Good memories watching him fight in the UFC/Pride. Glad he is doing well. And has his family close to him. Love the Kevin Randleman tshirt
I watched it all, every one of those fights. The Hammer only fought on the biggest stage, under the brightest lights, and against the toughest competition. LEGEND! Thanks for taking us on that ride Mark. I remember that night with Fedor and Mark's daughters. I was so impressed with Fedor and the way he put Mark's daughters at ease with a friendly smile.
Respect from Mark to Kevin for sure. That's one thing I've noticed about a lotta the OGs. They fought in a much more brutal era but seemed to have more respect for each other than a lotta the modern era fighters... :) RIP Kevin, a true pioneer.
Fedor was solid with his daughters. Totally tried to calm them, like the boss he is.
Class act
The GOAT!
Fedor is the best
THE GOAT.
Well done, God then family. Everything else is secondary.👍😎😇

Imagine being that boy and telling your friends at school, "I live with Mark the Hammer Coleman. He trains me in the basement."
@some boby - Yeah, you go with that, the smirk would end up on the other side of your head, power is the last to go. :)
Robert Deniro + Vin Diesel = Mark Coleman.
so true !
Mike from Breaking Bad
I thought it was vin diesel lol
But realer than both
holy shit
So beautiful to see Mark grow as father! Great video, brought me back to my childhood watching his old fights. Mad respect to Mr Hammer!!
I remember that he introduced his daughters to Fedor after fight on the ring . That scene was most impressive for MMA's history. Thank you for coming my country many times.. I could watch many legend scene in Japan.
Hai korchin76... japanese?? u can speak english??? Im from Malaysia..
Wow that was some scene with his daughters in the octagon. Fedor was the perfect opponent for that moment
Maybe it's bad idea for a little girl to see daddy fight in an MMA fight.
He awake everyone our prayers have been answered
First saw Mark Coleman when I watched “the smashing machine” back in the day. If you haven’t seen it give it a watch. It’s kind of sad to see him like this now the guy was an absolute monster. He looks like a totally different person. Seems a really nice guy. The ufc should look after these legends who built the sport and throw them some cash! Please do a where are they now on Mark Kerr! 💪🏻👏🏻
Smashing Machine is a great documentary, but very sad. I watch it a few times each year. There is a moving coming soon, I have read, with The Rock playing Mark Kerr.
Best comment
It made me sad at the end seeing him wearing that kevin randleman shirt, I know they were tight. R.I.P monster
Mark is a Champion forever !
Coleman was the reason i went to wrestling in high school. enjoy retirement champ.
he's the definition of Humility. You can sure tell how important every member of his family is to him, that was a beautiful production and to be honest he's what made it so beautiful.
Mark Coleman was the man!
Honest man about his feelings in the ring,much respect to the Hammer.
MARK "THE HAMMER" COLEMAN YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A GREAT CHAMPION! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
Prayers up for Mark 😔❤️🙏🏽
Last night Mark was with his parents at a renovation rental property
Hammer (Marks dog) woke him up and the house was on fire
The enormity of the blaze had Mark pick his father up and run him out of the house, he returned to get his mother
all of her hair burnt off
When Mark went back in to get his dog he passed out in the house
He was airlifted to the hospital and it doesn’t look good
He's dog also unfortunately passed away 😔 such a sad suitation
Much respect to him. He did everything he could. Almost didn't make it out himself. I hope he gets a full recovery and I'm sure one day he'll see his dog again someday...just hopefully not soon.
I hope he will be fine soon.
He’s so honest abt everything I respect him a lot for what he accomplished and he handled the adversity like a champ
Good to see he his healing his relationship with his daughters.
Can u imagine dating a girl and go to to pick her up, Mark Colman answers the door.
Mark, I admire you as a fighter but now, I respect you even more, because of your immense love for your daughters!
He went on to become head of corporate security at Los Pollos Hermanos
C4reful haha yeah was also thinking he looked a lot like Mike, especially in the looking-into-the-camera shots
lmao i just wanted to write this as well ! glad to see this comment
He can pass as Vin Diesel's dad now
they damn near the same age
I thought it was him in the thumbnail
lol Mark Coleman 55. Vin Diesel 52. Someone lived a much, much easier life.....
Yeah the Mexican supplements really took their toll
God bless you Mark. Wish I had such a great father like you!
I have attached don't cry easily, but damn when his daughters said they were proud it got me
You have attached? What's that mean?
This guy prefers being a father than fighting,.. why should we care as fight fans about this undedicated clown??? As a fight fan I want to see content on absolute passionate fighters that would put up their kids for adoption so he could schedule more fights with the extra free time!!
@@braveinternetguy 🤡
I expected some great ground and pound highlights. Instead I got a great tale of a great man and ended up with tears in my eyes. Love these videos UFC.
Very moving video that was well put together showcasing a great man, fighter and father. He has a great voice and tells the story well. Seeing him with his families brought tears and at the end seeing him eating wearing a Kevin Randleman (RIP Kev) t shirt really got me!
This man literally got me into MMA... Much respect brother glad to see your well!!!
Dan Severin looked like the big fireman that would fix all our bikes at the station down the street from my house. He was so soft spoken and a happy guy.
I was a kid when i saw his fights for the first time, thx to my father. Mark seems like a really good human being. Peace to you and your family!
Mark Coleman I admired you as I grew up, I watched live(with my old man[RIP Dad]) as you succeeded and struggled... I respect you, and Thank You.
Mark seems like he’s learned so much about life through his many experiences. God bless you Mark. Wish you and your family healthy & happiness.
He’s a genuine guy and a legend
Props to Mark Coleman. He seems like a good man. Good memories watching him fight in the UFC/Pride. Glad he is doing well. And has his family close to him. Love the Kevin Randleman tshirt
13:15 That "thank you" made me choke up.
That broke me.
I literally came to the comments to see if anyone said this. My eyes immediately watered up.
I watched it all, every one of those fights. The Hammer only fought on the biggest stage, under the brightest lights, and against the toughest competition. LEGEND! Thanks for taking us on that ride Mark. I remember that night with Fedor and Mark's daughters. I was so impressed with Fedor and the way he put Mark's daughters at ease with a friendly smile.
Manly tears was shed. This man is and will always be a legend.
I almost started crying when i saw Mark Coleman wearing Kevin Randleman’s t shirt at the end of the video..
Yeah, I noticed that too.
Respect from Mark to Kevin for sure. That's one thing I've noticed about a lotta the OGs. They fought in a much more brutal era but seemed to have more respect for each other than a lotta the modern era fighters... :) RIP Kevin, a true pioneer.
Not gunna lie. I did
Sergey Brin -Kevin was Mark’s protege-followed him into wrestling at Ohio State and into MMA at Hammer House
So precious in what your daughters said about you.
They must have a stash of these ready to drop. Perfect timing with there being no sports on
There is loads of them on fight pass. About 20 or something.
