The heart of a combat athlete will never get old. No matter how frail they may seem on the outside, age cannot get the better of them when it comes to courage and mentality. UFC Hall of Famer and retired fighter Mark Coleman is one of the first few people to make it big in the sport. He was the first UFC Heavyweight champion ever and was the tournament champion at UFC 10 and UFC 11.

A recent video, uploaded by ‘Bloody Elbow’ went viral on Twitter. In that video, a 58-year-old Mark Coleman was seen shadow-boxing, preparing for an upcoming ‘celebrity boxing match’. A few days ago, a transformation video of the former UFC champ went viral. Age had clearly taken its toll on him, but his fighting spirit was still like the day he won his first belt. Reduced to a mere shadow of his former self, Mark Coleman’s recent video disheartening for most people.
