Mark Coleman has been released from the hospital after nearly dying in a massive house fire last week… the UFC legend provided an update to his many fans just days after saving his mother and father.
“God is great 👊❤️🙏,” the 59-year-old retired fighter said Monday via the IG video caption, writing, “I’m recovering really well.”
“My lungs are sore. My eyes are burned, but I am very much alive and well. I feel so blessed to be in the hands of my higher power. He wants me to move forward today and I am.”
Coleman – who was hospitalized with smoke inhalation after saving his parents from a house fire in Toledo, Ohio, on Tuesday morning – thanked all his fans for their prayers, especially for his late dog, Hammer, who unfortunately died in the fire.
Mark also said he hopes the incident encourages people to make the most of life… before it’s too late.
“I’m one of the luckiest men in the world,” said the UFC Hall of Famer.
“I can’t thank you enough. I’m just grateful. I will continue to motivate people to move forward and be a better version of themselves. You never know when you’re going to need this, so let’s go. Let’s start today. Tomorrow is not promised . Move yourself!”
In fact, his loyal fans grew a lot, including financially, making more than 2,600 donations to a GoFundMe to help with medical expenses…raising over $121K!
Quick recovery, Mark!
