The MMA world is rallying behind UFC Hall of Famer Mark “The Hammer” Coleman after a harrowing incident left him fighting for his life.
The Heroic Act
In the early hours of Tuesday, a devastating fire broke out in Mark Coleman’s childhood home. The flames quickly engulfed the house, trapping his elderly parents and their pet dog inside. Without hesitation, Coleman rushed into the burning building, risking his own life to save both of his parents.
After coming out with his mother and father, the former fighter went in for a third time to rescue their pet dog Hammer, named after his own nickname- an effort which cost Coleman dearly. The fire left him with severe burns and smoke inhalation.
Mark Coleman’s daughters set up GoFundMe campaign
Coleman’s heroic actions during an Ohio house fire have sparked a wave of support, with his daughters, McKenzie and Morgan, leading the charge.
While visiting his parents in Ohio, tragedy struck as flames engulfed their home. Awakened by his loyal dog, Coleman sprang into action. He rescued both his elderly parents from the inferno but didn’t stop there. Determined to save his beloved pet, he re-entered the burning house. The price he paid was steep: extreme inhalation injuries that landed him in the hospital.
In a heartfelt plea, McKenzie and Morgan have set up a GoFundMe campaign to cover their father’s medical expenses and living costs. The goal? A modest $50,000. The funds will not only aid Mark Coleman’s recovery but also support his daughters, who are by his side during this critical battle. Tragically, the dog didn’t survive, but Coleman’s courage has left an indelible mark on their hearts.
“We all knew he [Mark Coleman] was one of the best athletes, now we know he is a true hero. All funds donated will go directly to Mark’s living expenses as well as support to his adult daughters who will be off work and by his side aiding his recovery as well as assisting in any necessities the Coleman family needs.”
