It seems like the premiere of the movie is done, and Conor McGregor is really happy about his film. When asked about what his feelings were about his debut, McGregor responded, “Work hard, work hard. We only gotta do… it’s in the bank for life. Like, you know, we gotta put some in the bank, something like, suck it for life and spend it. This baby is in there for life, and I’m ecstatic about that. I got that good, strong shape. I gave it my all.”

‘Mystic Mac’ appears to be satisfied with his performance, and now it’s up to the audience to ensure the movie becomes a big success. And now that we’ve heard about ‘RoadHouse’ from McGregor himself, let’s shift our focus to Mark Coleman.

UFC veteran praises the tenacity of Mark Coleman

A man who runs into a burning building twice to save people, and does so without any protective gear, should be considered one of the toughest individuals on the planet. This is what former UFC fighter, Chael Sonnen had to say about Mark Coleman. The UFC Hall of Famer had an accident in his home on Tuesday morning that left him in a medically induced coma.

Coleman’s house caught fire, however, this never stopped him from saving his parents and a failed attempt to protect his dog, Hammer, from the fire. Coleman is now in the hospital fighting for his life. The entire MMA community is praying for the betterment of Coleman, and Sonnen is sure that he will fight it out.

In his recent YouTube video, Sonnen said, “I just want to remind you who you’re dealing with. We knew he was one of the baddest men on Earth. Being the baddest man on Earth and being the toughest are very different, it’s a very different conversation… Mark Coleman is one tough son of a b…. And if anybody has ever come back from this, you would be very, very naive to believe that this is going to hold down ‘The Hammer.'”

Sonnen believes that Coleman would pull it off and get back stronger. For now, we can just leave Coleman alone to rest and hope for his recovery. And in the meantime, let us also look at the latest spat in the rivalry between Sean O’Malley and Marlon Vera.

Sean O’Malley and Marlon Vera are back at it again

UFC 299 witnessed a war between Sean O’Malley and Marlon Vera. The bantamweight title was on the line and O’Malley defended it like a champion. Throughout the entire match, O’Malley was in total control and never gave Vera any chance to fire back. After the bout, both ‘Suga’ and ‘Chito’ sustained heavy damage and now both of them are suspended from the UFC pending medical clearance.

Now, a few days after the defeat, ‘Chito’ took this X account to add a tweet teasing O’Malley. Vera wrote, “Who braid your hair @SugaSeanMMA you were grease to the bone I wonder how much gel they use? In response to the teasing, O’Malley asked ‘Chito’ to send him a picture of his face.

Now, Vera has responded, writing, “I’m fine black eye small cut the usual. How’s the liver? U do remember that sound u make?” It appears that their rivalry is far from over based on the current back and forth.
