Unfortunately the dog did not make it out, it was included in the story I read. Prayers to Mark Coleman and his family. The world needs more people like him. A true hero
Mark wasn't passed out inside the house when police showed up.. Mark and his parents were both outside, Mark was coughing and wheezing.. chael sonnen didn't get his facts right before recording a video
Chael… made me cry man… I am suffering from Avascular necrosis on both femoral heads. Need both hips replaced. I have large non healing wound’s On my lower legs cause by edema. They require cleaning multiple times a week. It’s so painful and have to shuffle to walk even with crutches. Over two years now I’m waiting for a procedure that will remove e some badly damaged valves in my Major veins and arteries. Held up by insurance, I’m happy to say this Friday I’ll be getting the vein surgery that will help heal the ulcers. My legs look awful. They hurt and I’m frustrated. However, Mark is my inspiration. He bounced back after some hip issues and kept going. He finally got some much needed relief and BAM… life His encouraging words to me, a person he didn’t know at all made my frustrations and hope become easier to cope with. Watching him battle, makes me wanna battle. I’m proud of Mark and how far he came back from. I know you will pull through.. you have Randelman looking day at you, an angel fighting for you. Mark we all love you brother. Wake up and realize how you are a Hero. A true warrior. Prayers my friend
Its an honor to call Coleman my coach. Not many people survive what he went through. Absolute savage of a human.. and when we talk about some of the most legendary humans to walk the earth, he's at the top Chael.... RIP to hammer the dog... absolutely heartbreaking.
There is no diference between Hero and coward , inside they are exacly alike , both scared of losing , scared of death or being hurt , the only difference is that Hero does something that make him a Hero and the other guy dont do nothing and thats make him a coward
@@DragonNectar Yes we are , maybe not in terms off our body limits (like natural strenght or flexibility or agility ) but in terms of our things like coleman did we are all exacly the same, heros and coward are build the same
That dog is a hero too, man Mark has always been a badass but this is bigger then all his world titles, hope you make it through this Mark you deserve it! Godfather of GnP! What a true legendary human being, what he did was beyond words... Hell of a way to go out if you do go man, god bless Coleman.
It was reported 1 hour ago that Mark and his parents are alive and well. He said "my parents are alive, im the happiest man in the world" Hammer didnt make it though unfortunately. RIP you little hero ❤
Dana should just take the bill himself and pay whatever bills that come in. I’m sure whatever the costs would be minimal to the amount of good will it would bring to the ufc.
@@mikecrossman4010So Dana is just going to pay all the medical bills of the tens of thousands of people he has come across in business? Are they friends? Dana promoted maybe a few of his fights. Why don't the Pride promoters donate as well? He might donate something but real charity is not done for publicity. It's done anonymously. BTW, I pray Mark Recovers.
Mark was the first ever UFC Heavyweight Champion.He literally helped build the sport world-wide. Theres nothing wrongnwith showing a little gratitude. Especially when you clearly have the means to do so@mr.brenman2132
I grew up watching UFC on VHS. Coleman was one of my favorites back then. I was at a Tough man contest in southern Ohio, at 17 years old, when I got to meet him. I was ringside and was getting amped up as a kid, looking forward to fighting Tough Man the next year once I hit 18. Music was loud in between fights and people were moving around, when I felt some hands lay on my shoulders a bit harder than I thought they should in my 17 year old, amped up mind. I spun around like I was gonna whip somebody's ass. I was staring, eye level, at a very wide chest. Coleman just looked at me with a smile on his face like I was cute. My buddy came running from a few rows back. He slapped me on the back and said, "You almost got knocked out by the champ!" Me, my buddy and Mark all had a laugh in that moment. Much respect to Mark Coleman.
@@uncouthboy8028 I didn't. When I was watching the competition within my weight class at 17, it looked like a fun time and an easy 500 bucks or whatever they were paying at the time. By the next year there was a guy that came into the weight class that would've been a problem for me. Haha. You didn't get paid unless you won all your fights and I had to be realistic after seeing the guy. I would've walked away with nothing to show for it but a beating.
i saw a video posted on reddit, mark is now awake and responsive and hugging his family saying how happy his that his parents are alive. what a legend.
Anyone' who's lost a parent or parents are still here. It resonates. That love and bond resonates. The relief and joy that he expressed that he knew he got them out alive . Broke me up
Praying for Mark. He did what many of us tell ourselves we would do if put in that situation but none of us truly know until the day that moment arrives. He saved his parents without regard for his own life. What he did is the definition of heroism. I hope he beats this… and I agree with Chael.. if anyone can pull through this, it’s Mark Coleman. These champions are a different breed.. Remember when people said Matt Hughes would never pull through after he got hit by a fucking train? …Don’t count Mark out too soon. He has a warrior’s heart, and we should all be in his corner on this!!
I was shocked reading about it because its literally insane what happened. I can hear the pain in your voice Chael i hope Mark pulls through he deserves to see the outcome.
He'll pull through. Mark wasn't found unconscious in the house like Chael reported. The police arrived first and found Mark and parents outside the house. Mark was standing, coughing and wheezing. He was conscious until he was placed into a coma at the hospital.
Mark is one of my all time favorites. I met him a few times at fights (he was there in the crowd at each event) back in like 05’ ish. We would travel to see fights all over back then as a group I walked up just to say hi and shake his hand. The next 2 times he remembered us and just hung out He was such a genuine human being. He didn’t have to stop and talk, and did it like he knew me my whole life. Baddest man on the planet stops to just hang out at a fight 3 different times. This is tough. I pray for healing and a full recovery. I pray for his family to have strength during this time. As a sons, dads and a dog owners this should hit ALOT of us men close to home. Pray for Mark!
I'll never forget watching Coleman fight Fedor in Japan. After the fight, his daughters came into the ring and they were really little and they were upset because their daddy was beat up and bloody. He hugged them and said, "It's okay, babies. This is my friend Fedor", and Fedor shook their hands and greeted them warmly. Coleman didn't give a damn about anything else in the world at that moment except his little girls.
Man... I love Mark. He was married to Kelly, who was a friend of mine in high school, during his early UFC run. He was so incredibly cool when i met him, and he always remembered my name after. He and Kell would come into my work (Max&Ermas) in Columbus, and i would joke and ask him to "punch me,"and "put me outta my misery!" He came back with, "it'd hurt me more to punch you, trust me." This was right after he fought Mo. I saw him a long time down the road when he was training other fighters, and still remembered my name and asked me how i was doing and how my family was. I was working on Bethel Rd. In Columbus at a bar and he and Kevin Randelman came in, obviously, these two could've ran through that bar in under a minute, but when a fight broke out they both snatched up guys and "walked" them outside, no questions asked. He is truly a humble, and amazing man. I wish that i knew him better, but i guarantee he is a loving father and friend. My prayers are with him today and always. I pray with his daughters and his loved ones to stay strong an positive. God bless you "Hero, and Hammer" Mark Coleman, you will BEAT THIS! God bless.....🙏.....❤
He spent a saturday afternoon in my bar on 161 when I was bartending back in '07. Nicest guy, cool to talk to. I grew up and live in Columbus, have always known about and followed Mark since he was a Champion wrestler at Ohio State. He's one of the good guys.
This kid I went to elementary school with he was a nerdy kid but a bigger kid now that I look back at it he was just a all around good guy I can’t remember him ever being rude or anything back then I was one of those kids who thought it was cool to play into all the shit kids do but now when I look back at him hes a hero. His house burned down twice (pretty crazy coincidence) the first time I’m pretty sure there house just burnt down but the second time we were in high school then we were in different high school when I heard the story but his younger brother was trapped in the house when all the family got out when he realized he ran back in and literally saved his brother life his brother is still head to toe completely scared when I see pictures on Facebook the older brother the one I knew seems to be a lot better but my god I can’t imagine that courage he had that night to run into that house he’s one of the biggest hero’s I think in my home area I’ll never forget that just because of how I said at first it’s the exact story of don’t judge a book by its cover with his glasses on he was just some nerdy guy but fuck man when those glasses came off in the middle of the night he turned into super man I’ll never loose respect for him I was never that big of friends with him in school more just class mates but fuck he was a tough kid and I think I’ve been through a lot it always shows that there’s always someone bigger badder and tougher then you no matter what circumstances.
I was in a pretty bad fire when i was little and mark coleman really deserves every bit of support Fires are so tough man, i really wish i knew more about the lung damage but the burns I got were much more serious than what the smoke did to me i really hope mark makes a great recovery
Like to this day my lungs feel fine (I smoke and go running regularly) but I still haven't gotten my hand I almost had chopped off to work perfectly right, I can do basic stuff but like I can't do intricate functions with my fingers
I was in a medical induced coma because of lung failure for 2-1/2 months . They had my teens come in and say good bye to me because they didn’t think I would make it through the night I was incomplete organ failure on top of my lungs that put me on intubation . I pulled out and 2 days later they said it again say your goodbyes you’ll receive a call in the night to come back in the room . I’ve pulled out of the coma 2 weeks later . That person saying that has no idea the power of personal responsibility to family . I dreamed about my family the entire time and I came home because of it . Even doctors aren’t always right . They said I had hours to live 3 times and put my family through the tears and pain of goodbyes I later watched and cried to . Fighters are just that .
They don’t make them like mark Coleman anymore…,a complete different breed of man!!!I don’t pray but I will say a little one for his recovery and he’s family well being💯❤️
This made me cry because I’ve met & after thru social got to know Mark & I have also know Kevin before he passed & my family is from Ohio so I was always a fan of both & when I met Mark I got on him for losing to that head kic & that’s what made him respect me because he knew I was a real fan, my lady at the time was speechless because she thought he would be mad but he embraced me & this hurts because he is such a warrior & finally became sober so it is sad if this is how we lose the 🔨, get well asap champ
Man I love my dog. My worst fear is him being in my house and it catching on fire when I'm not there. I would have done the same thing trying to save him. I hope Mark can make a recovery. Thank God the dog woke him up so he could save his parents.
I am with you on that chael, It feels like Mark IS GOING TO PULL THROUGH THIS!!! Remember the guy who ran up while firemen where putting his house out, And the guy ran in and came out with the dog and his skin singed?? Im right here with you chael, MARK MAKES IT!!! He's going to live to tell this story!!!
I helped pull a man from a house fire a year ago. Some people think, "I'll run through the flames, I'm getting everyone out." After less than 1 minute in that home, I couldn't breathe, i couldn't see, and could feel the hair burned from my face and hands. It was hotter than I could EVER have imagined. Thankfully, we had a lot of help, we found the guy at the last minute and got him out. Mark is an absolute savage and a fkin legitimate hero. He knew that he was likely sacrificing his own life, and he went back in anyway..... My heart goes out to his family, friends, and fans. Praying for Mark's full recovery.
God bless him and his family, can’t imagine the pain he’s going through. So touching and humbling couldn’t help but shed a few tears, Mark is a superhero.
If I knew you were going to cut onions in the video i would have waited until I got off the plane.. Thanks for all your support Chael, it means more than you can imagine❤
I met Mark Coleman in Cleveland at a Joe Rogan show. I don’t know how many people knew who it was but I immediately asked for a picture with Mr Coleman. When I lived in Columbus I heard from people who knew him well that he was struggling severely with his memory and substance abuse. I hope to God he ends up being okay. Great man.
This is something you dont forget, i literally went through the same thing with my cousins parents when their house caught on fire in the middle of the night. 2 dogs and both parents we could get out but the pipelines melted and we couldnt use water to throw on the fire so we literally grabbed milk to try to get to one dog that was sadly not able to get out... frozen in fear and we couldnt get to him without possibly dieing ourselves. Had to go get some oxhygen and bloodwork afterwards but he'll be fine. Its a mental thing more than anything. He did everything he could.
Mark is off the vent and talking!!!! Just read, as of fri 3/15 11a. Says "I'm the happiest man in the world". Walked through a burning house fire not once, but 3 times to save both his parents and literally gave his all to go back again to save his dog. What a heart! What a hero! Doesn't hurt to have Mark "the Hammer" Coleman for a son. 🙏
Mark Coleman was already tough as nails before he chose to run into a burning home multiple times to save his parents, now he's a true hero. I can't send enough positive thoughts and energy his way right now, hopefully he can pull through this. And RIP to Hammer, that dog is a hero too.
His dog didn't make it unfortunately, but he saved the whole family alerting Mark to the fire, RIP Hammer, ultimate sacrifice giving his life to save his pack. 🙏
Honestly, despite how bad of a situation this is, I’m happy mark is getting the respect he deserves, I’ve seen him training at his age working hard to overcome injuries, and despite being out of his prime, I would see nothing but hate towards him on his instagram telling him to hang it up and calling him an old man. Glad people get to see the real him. Most people in his situation would think for themselves, mark is built different tho.
Even if he doesn't pull through this battle he passes a hero, a warrior on his shield. Crazy his greatest accomplishment has nothing to do with his combat sports career.
I live in Columbus, Ohio and have always been a huge OSU Buckeye Fan of many of their sports teams. I followed Mark Colman when he wrestled for The Buckeyes and he was a Beast to say the least! Many years later when he decided to go into the brand new world of MMA, myself and many of his Fans followed along. As he proceeded in his career it became very obvious as well what a tremendous person he was away from his sport and his chosen profession. Always cordial, no airs about him....what you saw was how he was....period. So, when I heard and then read about this situation...I immediately thought "I'd expect nothing less out of this guy" Balls To The Wall even in regular life! MOO From COW-lumbus To All 👋
Chael that last gd line brought tears to my eyes. I felt Mark didn't get enough love over the years, he hit a rough patch and was training to fight again I believe I read. No man at that age should have to do that, such a bada** guy
This kind of reminds me of the accident with the legend, Matt Hughes I hope Mark pulls through true legend of the sport and Chael I hope your friend pulls through much love and respect to all the legends of the sport and chael i’m talking about you to
Coming back to this video after the announcement that he would wrap the BMF belt around the winner come UFC 300. What a story. I never cared about the BMF belt, but this is possibly the most befitting way to honor this man.
He woke up and was greeted by his family, dog didn't make it. Mark is such a Hero and Warrior. The dog is also a damn Hero. It's so upsetting and heartbreaking. Prayers are with Mark and his family in this time
Thank-you Chael Sonnen , for sharing your thoughts. Mark is old, hes been there when ufc started. He fought hard. Single night took on miltiple guys. Today he still a warrior. Thanks for sharing.
I had just found about his hospital/ambulance livestreams yesterday, and now this... it’s so sad, his worst battles are being fought now. You will get through this, Mark!
Aww man. 💔😔 This is so bad to hear man. This just fkn sucks. Of course. Of course his life is doing better than its been in a long time and this shit happens. What a terrible story. He's s HERO!!! And I pray that he'll recover somehow, but if not, God will welcome him home where he will never know another day of suffering ever again. All my thoughts and prayers to Marks friends and especially his family. May god guide you all through this nightmare. Hall of Famer and HERO 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This man is from my hometown and I have met him a few times . He will overcome this! Excellent video Chael! Thankfully he is awake and off the ventilator now
Mark did what we all hope we would during an event like this. Such bravery to save his parents, what a son! Such a shame about Hammer, what a good boy letting him know what was happening. Awful way for that fur Angel to go, rest in peace little guy.
Chael has an uncanny way of processing information while using experience, logic, facts to formulate a narrative for anyone with ears to hear it to come away feeling more enlightened, educated & reflective on what they just heard......... thoughts & prayers going out to Mark & his family. Thanks for posting Chael very powerful segment.
I met Mark and Wes at a movie theater for a UFC ppv. He told me one day I’ll be the UFC heavyweight champion and I’ll knock out Wes to get the belt. We got a pic of “the 3 heavyweight champions.” I was and still am 5’5. I was probably 140 at the time. He talked to everyone that wanted a pic for a couple minutes or so and then talked to anyone that was still hanging around for another hour until the workers were done cleaning and were locking up. Dude is one of a kind.
Unfortunately the dog did not make it out, it was included in the story I read. Prayers to Mark Coleman and his family. The world needs more people like him. A true hero
Hammer is an unsung hero. Extremely sad to find out that he didn't make it. Gutted, really .Hoping that Mark does. I'm sure he will.
I cant stop thinking about him and the brutal awakening ahead when he will learn his dog, his buddy, didnt make it

His house burned down twice (pretty crazy coincidence) the first time I’m pretty sure there house just burnt down but the second time we were in high school then we were in different high school when I heard the story but his younger brother was trapped in the house when all the family got out when he realized he ran back in and literally saved his brother life his brother is still head to toe completely scared when I see pictures on Facebook the older brother the one I knew seems to be a lot better but my god I can’t imagine that courage he had that night to run into that house he’s one of the biggest hero’s I think in my home area I’ll never forget that just because of how I said at first it’s the exact story of don’t judge a book by its cover with his glasses on he was just some nerdy guy but fuck man when those glasses came off in the middle of the night he turned into super man I’ll never loose respect for him I was never that big of friends with him in school more just class mates but fuck he was a tough kid and I think I’ve been through a lot it always shows that there’s always someone bigger badder and tougher then you no matter what circumstances.
There’s not too many men like Mark Coleman I’m from Sandusky Ohio home of Kevin Randleman met Mark plenty of times he’s a great man
I was in a pretty bad fire when i was little and mark coleman really deserves every bit of support
Fires are so tough man, i really wish i knew more about the lung damage but the burns I got were much more serious than what the smoke did to me i really hope mark makes a great recovery
Like to this day my lungs feel fine (I smoke and go running regularly) but I still haven't gotten my hand I almost had chopped off to work perfectly right, I can do basic stuff but like I can't do intricate functions with my fingers
Prayers Hammer! This could be any of us!?
Mark is a f**king legend. This just takes his legend to a completely different level. I hope he pulls through.
I'm hoping he get's excellent care, he really deserves it.
I was in a medical induced coma because of lung failure for 2-1/2 months . They had my teens come in and say good bye to me because they didn’t think I would make it through the night I was incomplete organ failure on top of my lungs that put me on intubation . I pulled out and 2 days later they said it again say your goodbyes you’ll receive a call in the night to come back in the room . I’ve pulled out of the coma 2 weeks later . That person saying that has no idea the power of personal responsibility to family . I dreamed about my family the entire time and I came home because of it . Even doctors aren’t always right . They said I had hours to live 3 times and put my family through the tears and pain of goodbyes I later watched and cried to . Fighters are just that .
Can’t keep the hammer down. Prayers for Coleman and his family.🙏🏾
Nothing but respect for Mr Coleman as a fighter and as a human. Don’t give up. Prayers and positive thoughts.
They don’t make them like mark Coleman anymore…,a complete different breed of man!!!I don’t pray but I will say a little one for his recovery and he’s family well being💯❤️
This made me cry because I’ve met & after thru social got to know Mark & I have also know Kevin before he passed & my family is from Ohio so I was always a fan of both & when I met Mark I got on him for losing to that head kic & that’s what made him respect me because he knew I was a real fan, my lady at the time was speechless because she thought he would be mad but he embraced me & this hurts because he is such a warrior & finally became sober so it is sad if this is how we lose the 🔨, get well asap champ
Man I love my dog. My worst fear is him being in my house and it catching on fire when I'm not there. I would have done the same thing trying to save him. I hope Mark can make a recovery. Thank God the dog woke him up so he could save his parents.
Yep me too man. I have 6 dogs so I would do what I have to do
Prayers to Mark! You did a beautiful job expressing the story Chael
he may have had a great career, but at the ripe age of 59 is when he truly proved what a warrior he is. this was his best performance yet
God bless his family
I am with you on that chael,
It feels like Mark IS GOING TO PULL THROUGH THIS!!!
Remember the guy who ran up while firemen where putting his house out,
And the guy ran in and came out with the dog and his skin singed??
Im right here with you chael,
MARK MAKES IT!!!
He's going to live to tell this story!!!
I helped pull a man from a house fire a year ago. Some people think, "I'll run through the flames, I'm getting everyone out."
After less than 1 minute in that home, I couldn't breathe, i couldn't see, and could feel the hair burned from my face and hands. It was hotter than I could EVER have imagined. Thankfully, we had a lot of help, we found the guy at the last minute and got him out.
Mark is an absolute savage and a fkin legitimate hero. He knew that he was likely sacrificing his own life, and he went back in anyway..... My heart goes out to his family, friends, and fans. Praying for Mark's full recovery.
Seeing Chael choked up is something serious... let's go 🔨!!!
Thank you Chael we love you.
I hope he recovers fully. He is a hero and deserves the recognition.
You never know when the fight of your life is going to go down. Damn.
God bless him and his family, can’t imagine the pain he’s going through. So touching and humbling couldn’t help but shed a few tears, Mark is a superhero.
Praying for the Coleman family.
Glad Mark Coleman is doing better and recovering. Wishing him the best!
If I knew you were going to cut onions in the video i would have waited until I got off the plane..
Thanks for all your support Chael, it means more than you can imagine❤
I met Mark Coleman in Cleveland at a Joe Rogan show. I don’t know how many people knew who it was but I immediately asked for a picture with Mr Coleman. When I lived in Columbus I heard from people who knew him well that he was struggling severely with his memory and substance abuse. I hope to God he ends up being okay. Great man.
This is something you dont forget, i literally went through the same thing with my cousins parents when their house caught on fire in the middle of the night. 2 dogs and both parents we could get out but the pipelines melted and we couldnt use water to throw on the fire so we literally grabbed milk to try to get to one dog that was sadly not able to get out... frozen in fear and we couldnt get to him without possibly dieing ourselves. Had to go get some oxhygen and bloodwork afterwards but he'll be fine. Its a mental thing more than anything. He did everything he could.
Great video Chael. I saw the story in the local news here in Columbus. Last I checked he was up and responsive, laughing with his Family. What a man.
Mark is off the vent and talking!!!! Just read, as of fri 3/15 11a. Says "I'm the happiest man in the world". Walked through a burning house fire not once, but 3 times to save both his parents and literally gave his all to go back again to save his dog. What a heart! What a hero! Doesn't hurt to have Mark "the Hammer" Coleman for a son. 🙏
Mark Coleman was already tough as nails before he chose to run into a burning home multiple times to save his parents, now he's a true hero. I can't send enough positive thoughts and energy his way right now, hopefully he can pull through this. And RIP to Hammer, that dog is a hero too.
Mark is awake and responsive!!
His dog didn't make it unfortunately, but he saved the whole family alerting Mark to the fire,
RIP Hammer, ultimate sacrifice giving his life to save his pack. 🙏
What a legend praying 🙏 for him burns are worst pain very sad cmon Mark pull through
Mark is super human, he will make it through this!
God bless Mark in his time of need. 🙏
Honestly, despite how bad of a situation this is, I’m happy mark is getting the respect he deserves, I’ve seen him training at his age working hard to overcome injuries, and despite being out of his prime, I would see nothing but hate towards him on his instagram telling him to hang it up and calling him an old man. Glad people get to see the real him. Most people in his situation would think for themselves, mark is built different tho.
Praying for Mark and his entire family. Mark is a legend. Mark is a hero. We love you buddy.
Hes awake and responsive! Going to be ok appears. Love to see an update video chael
Even if he doesn't pull through this battle he passes a hero, a warrior on his shield. Crazy his greatest accomplishment has nothing to do with his combat sports career.
What a story. This is heart wrenching. My prayers are with Mark and his family. He is a hell of a man.
I live in Columbus, Ohio and have always been a huge OSU Buckeye Fan of many of their sports teams. I followed Mark Colman when he wrestled for The Buckeyes and he was a Beast to say the least! Many years later when he decided to go into the brand new world of MMA, myself and many of his Fans followed along. As he proceeded in his career it became very obvious as well what a tremendous person he was away from his sport and his chosen profession. Always cordial, no airs about him....what you saw was how he was....period. So, when I heard and then read about this situation...I immediately thought "I'd expect nothing less out of this guy" Balls To The Wall even in regular life! MOO From COW-lumbus To All 👋
Truly a sad story, nothing but positive vibes for the Coleman family, hoping Mark survives
Chael that last gd line brought tears to my eyes. I felt Mark didn't get enough love over the years, he hit a rough patch and was training to fight again I believe I read. No man at that age should have to do that, such a bada** guy
This kind of reminds me of the accident with the legend, Matt Hughes I hope Mark pulls through true legend of the sport and Chael I hope your friend pulls through much love and respect to all the legends of the sport and chael i’m talking about you to
Mark pulled through his awake and aware. His daughters shared a video of them with their dad on his Instagram.
Respect to a real legand.... Ur In my preys mark 🙏🙏🙏🔨🔨🔨
Brought me to tears. Family is the most important thing in the world. You're lucky if you have one. A good one at that. Sending love and strength.
The dog earned his wings. 🪽🪽
They always do.
Its a fact that all dogs go to heaven.
Coming back to this video after the announcement that he would wrap the BMF belt around the winner come UFC 300. What a story. I never cared about the BMF belt, but this is possibly the most befitting way to honor this man.
Coleman the only man to make Uncle Chael use a not a 4 letter but a 5 letter word.
He woke up and was greeted by his family, dog didn't make it. Mark is such a Hero and Warrior. The dog is also a damn Hero. It's so upsetting and heartbreaking. Prayers are with Mark and his family in this time
Thank-you Chael Sonnen , for sharing your thoughts. Mark is old, hes been there when ufc started. He fought hard. Single night took on miltiple guys. Today he still a warrior. Thanks for sharing.
Just came to say Mark is up n talking. You called it Chael!!!! Thank you Jesus!
I had just found about his hospital/ambulance livestreams yesterday, and now this... it’s so sad, his worst battles are being fought now. You will get through this, Mark!
Aww man. 💔😔 This is so bad to hear man. This just fkn sucks. Of course. Of course his life is doing better than its been in a long time and this shit happens. What a terrible story. He's s HERO!!! And I pray that he'll recover somehow, but if not, God will welcome him home where he will never know another day of suffering ever again. All my thoughts and prayers to Marks friends and especially his family. May god guide you all through this nightmare. Hall of Famer and HERO 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Praying for Coleman , god bless him !
This man is from my hometown and I have met him a few times . He will overcome this! Excellent video Chael! Thankfully he is awake and off the ventilator now
Man I hope the big guy makes it. He was my favorite fighter growing up.
Check the updates. He's awake and talking with family!
One of my all-time favorites ! God bless him !!
Mark is a true man
Mark did what we all hope we would during an event like this. Such bravery to save his parents, what a son! Such a shame about Hammer, what a good boy letting him know what was happening. Awful way for that fur Angel to go, rest in peace little guy.
I pray that Mr. Coleman the Hero makes it through.
Damme wake up to wake up hear this. Pray for this man. God bless mark
Bravo. Fantastic video. Kudo's for lettings your emotion show through for us, and for Mark.
God bless he and his family. He was one of my favorites ever to watch.
Chael has an uncanny way of processing information while using experience, logic, facts to formulate a narrative for anyone with ears to hear it to come away feeling more enlightened, educated & reflective on what they just heard......... thoughts & prayers going out to Mark & his family. Thanks for posting Chael very powerful segment.
Beautiful video. Hope he pulls through. Prayers and love ❤
I met Mark and Wes at a movie theater for a UFC ppv. He told me one day I’ll be the UFC heavyweight champion and I’ll knock out Wes to get the belt. We got a pic of “the 3 heavyweight champions.” I was and still am 5’5. I was probably 140 at the time. He talked to everyone that wanted a pic for a couple minutes or so and then talked to anyone that was still hanging around for another hour until the workers were done cleaning and were locking up. Dude is one of a kind.
