UFC legend Mark Coleman is breathing on his own and talking to his family … just days after he was airlifted to a hospital with life-threatening injuries sustained while rescuing his parents from a house fire.
Coleman’s daughter, Kenzie, shared an emotional clip on Mark’s Instagram … just 2.5 days after the MMA great suffered smoke inhalation while saving his mom and dad from a giant blaze.
“I had to make a decision,” Coleman said about the house fire from his hospital bed, “It was already horrible! I couldn’t breathe!”

“I’m the happiest man in the world. I swear to God I’m so lucky! I can’t believe my parents are alive!”
Unfortunately, his dog, Hammer, passed away … and Coleman — who retired from MMA in 2013 — is completely devastated.
“I couldn’t find Hammer!” Coleman said as he cried with his family.
A GoFundMe was set up for Coleman’s loved ones as his daughters will take time off work to help him during his recovery. As of Thursday, over $68K was raised.
Get well, Mark!
