UFC legend Mark Coleman surprised a lot of people when he came out in support of Liver King a few months ago. Back in October 2022, Coleman thanked Liver King in an Instagram post for helping him make it to Abu Dhabi for UFC 280. The UFC’s first-ever heavyweight champion also gave a shout-out to Liver King’s line of supplements that he claimed helped UFC middleweight AJ Dobson in preparation for UFC 280.

Since then, Liver King’s all-natty bubble has been burst. The controversial internet figure had to apologize after details of his steroid use came to light. Brian Johnson, a.k.a., Liver King, faced major financial setbacks following the truth about his physique. However, Mark Coleman has once again come out with a show of gratitude to Liver King.

“What’s up everybody? 8 days in. Liver King’s carnivore diet. Two years sober… had a tough week last week. I’m sore as hell. I feel a lot better than I did last week. But I’m still rough, man. I don’t recommend taking 10 years off,” said Coleman.

In the caption, the former UFC and PRIDE champion wrote, “Day 8 carnivore diet . Thank you @liverking for the continued support and motivation ! 10 yrs if nothing but drinking and smoking and drinking Red Bull’s did some serious damage but I’m going to change that.

While the Liver King’s gimmick has been exposed and his reputation damaged, Coleman resuming a healthy lifestyle is definitely a positive. The retired MMA icon posted the same clip in his Instagram story, along with a few more clips of him going at it in the gym. He also mentioned that he was sore from his workouts but would keep at it nevertheless.

Additionally, UFC 203 saw a hilarious scuffle between Joe Rogan and Coleman. Both the personalities got into a friendly wrestling contest but Rogan couldn’t match Coleman’s sheer power. The match ended with the UFC commentator backing off.
