Mark Coleman has had his fair share of hospital visits over the past few weeks. The former UFC fighter had a tussle with a house fire that broke out in the kitchen and endangered his whole family. Luckily for them, ‘The Hammer’ was on his feet and started getting everyone out.

However, it wasn’t long until things spiraled out of control for Coleman. He rescued his parents from the flames and later on when he decided to go back into the flames to get his dog, Hammer, his body started giving up on him and he had to be airlifted out of the scene later. Seven different fire stations responded to the situation to help with the fires and now, Coleman has a message for them.
