HE IS A TRUE BMF AND HERO 🔥🔥

[@bigal2417]

Be nice if Dana did something like build them a new house, Mark helped get the UFC off the ground.

[@iwishicouldsaveyou3954]

Dana buy this legends parents a new home. We need this

[@bigal2417]

i just posted something similar, then see your post

[@jeffmcguffy8380]

His go fund me was at $120,000 a couple weeks ago when I looked. His parents hopefully had home insurance as well. But it would be a nice gesture and Dana could afford it. Between Dana and Ari those two are worth billions combined.

[@Skazi75]

@@jeffmcguffy8380 i dont think insurance going to help , they have no fire alarm in is parents house , and i think in law is obligatory or depende of the state ?

[@jeffmcguffy8380]

@@Skazi75 Your probably right. Insurance companies do everything they can to not pay out. I have dealt with this myself for health insurance. So has my brother with homeowners insurance. Bloodsuckers.

[@michaelspoto8720]

I don't think dana can afford it. He's only worth about 700 million dollars. Times are tough for him

[@muffintop701]

We love you mark coleman

[@SpongeTMM]

Absolute legend, I'm so glad to see he is doing good now and recovery has been good. And him wrapping the BMF belt around the winner is icing on the cake.

[@bionic0n3]

Watched live but had to stop by and say this was one of the best interviews ever done on MMA hour. LOVED IT.

The BMF belt needs a permanent picture of Coleman on it!!!

How is this man not able to get to see his family because his car. He put his ass on the line for us! That should never be the case. Dana buy this hero a New Toyota Sequoia. He helped build that Octagon. I try to tell Mark how much his sobriety and his journey gives me the strength to battle my Health issue. I have avascular necrosis of both femoral heads and failing valves due to the edema it’s causing that is causing terrible ulcers on my lower legs. The infection from the ulcers is keeping me from getting the hip replacements. I’m in terrible pain with no pain meds. I’m 47 and a wrestler and judo player most of my life… I cried tears when I saw he was injured but I knew he would do it…. God Bless Mark Coleman… Liver King, buy a truck for Mark!!!

[@behindtheseeyesiseewhatyou8953]

Sorry for adding but goddamn! Look down and it was the size of a raisin… I cried and laughed so hard watching this!

Mark your a living legend brother. Time for me to put the bottle down and get sober. Thanks for the inspiration

[@BigSalv]

True BMF, it's hard to hate the guy his all heart.

[@jaydenrichardx]

Mark is a true pioneer of the sport & I'm so happy he's making a full recovery. It's going to be fun hearing the fan reception when Mark is in the octagon for the BMF fight

[@paleo704]

[@coreycheung6458]

RIP Hammer

[@smokeface2228]

This man don’t need a belt to say he’s the BMF. Mark Coleman is a superhero, I looked up to him as a child, and I still am looking up to him after what he did to save his family. RIP Hammer, he was the goodest boy😢

[@ArcadeOfKaos]

RIP Hammer 🔨

[@DB800187]

Always thought he was such an awesome person. After saving his parents from a fire, he is a bonafied superhero. Hope he continues to have the best life!💯

[@alexplaytop]

Thank YOU Mark for your fights - one of the best in 90s I experienced!

[@OctavionR6]

One of the best Interviews I’ve ever watched, very humbling experience.

[@wheelmanstan]

hot then cold, haha no wonder his engine blew, love the guy, guys like him..all those early ufc guys that sacrificed so much for so little should get unlimited access to everything ufc, interesting how high energy and loud and vocal mark is when back in the day you'd never expect him to have such a personality

[@adamtchambers1979]

Coleman!

[@C3phoe]

Is good mark got recognition for his character after the fire but he has always been a person to admire and who young men should aspire to be. Mark has always been honest and stuck up for the weak. When the who molestation scandal happened and there was a strong defence from the defence, mark spoke up saying that everyone knew they were being molested and he had been "mishandled" himself by the doctor. It was a solid move of support that did have a strong effect.

[@RichardYu1983]

Man that story was intense. Felt every second of it.

What a man!

By the grace of God! Amen brother! Glad you're good man. It's amazing that you're in the shape you are in. You were able to save your parents life and ultimately you were in good enough shape to pull through as well. It's almost like God is looking out for us (Sarcasm) Well done! RIP Hammer!

This reminds me of when he cried afterr getting his ass beat by Fedor and brought his 2 hysterical young daughters into the ring to meet Fedor. Traumatizing.

Everyone: do NOT support Piers Morgan or his show. They agreed to book Mark through us to do a paid interview. Then after agreeing changed their minds because Mark did this interview. Saying they were only paying Mark for an exclusive interview with Piers. When they never mentioned the word exclusive.

The "he should take his shirt off" line was a step too far and a bit inappropriate, but this was a great interview overall.
