A few days ago, UFC legend Mark Coleman made headlines after saving both his parents from a raging fire in their house. The incident took place around 4 a.m. in the morning, where it took the life of Coleman’s beloved Rottweiler and left the house unsalvageable. Coleman also ended up being airlifted to the hospital, as he left fans worried about what would happen to the UFC legend.

The UFC legend was put into a medically induced coma after the incident but luckily recovered not long after. Coleman seems to be making a full recovery, as he came out a day ago to address a message to his beloved Rottweiler.

A recent post by “The Immortal” Matt Brown left fans feeling relieved as it showed the UFC legend in the background. In the recent reel, Brown made the announcement, “Whats up guys, the man is back, ‘The Hammer’s back,” with Coleman now looking better than he did a couple of days ago.

In the Instagram video, he stated,  “Me and my dog Hammer started our day every day together at 4 a.m. I tried so hard to get him out. I looked and reached [but] couldn’t find him. If I stayed one more second, I would’ve died. The only thing bringing me peace is that he did not burn. He was found under the bed with not a hair out of place… I will miss him every single day but I know he is with me in all my heart. My first dog ever. He gave me the best 11 months I could’ve imagined.”
