UFC legend Mark Coleman is in the hospital, after bravely saving his parents from a terrible house fire in his hometown near Toledo, Ohio.
The 59-year-old Coleman was taken by helicopter after pulling his mom and dad out of the burning house.
He suffered smoke inhalation while going back inside to rescue his dog – which, unfortunately, did not make it.
Firefighters from seven different departments rushed to the scene, but the cause of the fire is still unknown.
Coleman’s close friend, former UFC fighter Wes Sims, shared an update on Facebook, saying:
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*it, Wes, we are going viral!”
He continues:
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!
Inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame in 2008, Coleman is hailed as one of the best heavyweight fighters ever.
