Mark Coleman thanks fans from hospital bed
UFC Hall of Famer Mark Coleman is still recovering from injuries sustained during that house fire earlier this week that tragically claimed the life of his beloved dog “Hammer.”
Coleman remains hospitalized for smoke inhalation after rescuing both his parents in a fire that destroyed the family’s home on Monday night.
The former UFC heavyweight champion’s daughter Kenzie posted an update she typed out expressing her father’s words:
“Mark the hammer Coleman here. I want to first thank my higher power above without him this isn’t possible. Next I want to thank each and every one of you for the prayers, support, and generosity. I always knew I had the best fans around. What you have done for me and my family is truly remarkable. I also want to thank the doctors, nurses and hospital staff who saved my life. I can’t wait to take you all along with me during my recovery journey. You are all now apart of hammer house.
“I’m blessed and grateful my parents and I are walking out of this alive. I encourage you to do the things you want to do, better yourself, and cherish every moment. Tomorrow is not promised. Also, it breaks my heart to say this but rest in peace to my special dog hammer. If you followed me before all of this you knew he was my sidekick and best friend. We spent every day together and I will miss him so much.
“As always…sober is cool, carnivore diet, 9 ancestral tenets. Hammer house if 4 life. Are you in now? Don’t ever count the hammer out. I love you all”
