UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman, who recently recovered from smoke inhalation and pneumonia after saving his parents from a house fire, is being honored by the UFC with tickets for him and his daughters to UFC 300 in Las Vegas.
Mark Coleman’s got his sights set on UFC 300. Yeah, you heard it right.
This guy, back in March, almost kicked the bucket from smoke inhalation. He was playing hero, saving his folks from a house fire. But, he’s a UFC Hall of Famer, ain’t he? So, he pulled through. Even beat a nasty bout of pneumonia to make a full recovery.
And now, UFC’s decided to honor “The Hammer.” They’re bringing the first-ever heavyweight champ to the biggest card of the year. Ain’t that something?
Coleman spilled the beans on Instagram. UFC’s flying him and his daughters to UFC 300. It’s happening on April 13 in Las Vegas.
He posted a picture too.
And then he says, “I’m so excited today. The UFC is bringing me in giving me and my daughters tickets to the biggest show ever UFC 300 in Las Vegas. So stoked let’s go. The BMF belt that’s the one I’m excited about. The main event is huge as well. The whole card is sick. See you there. What a great day to be alive. Be the best version of yourself you can be you never know when you’re gonna need it. Sober is cool, carnivore diet, nine ancestral tenants, hammer House for life.”
Coleman’s feeling so good, he’s joking about stepping in if needed. He says in the video, “What’s up everybody. Good afternoon! I’m so excited. UFC is bringing me into UFC 300. I’m in training. I’m the backup for every fighter. Let’s go!”
UFC 300’s happening at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Headlining the event is a light heavyweight title fight between Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill. The card’s also got a strawweight title bout between Weili Zhang and Yan Xiaonan. And guess what? The first ever “BMF” title defense is happening when Justin Gaethje faces Max Holloway. Now, that’s a fight you don’t wanna miss.
