Mark Coleman Says He’ll Be in Attendance for UFC 300 on April 13

Coleman, who recently risked his life to save his parents from a fire at his childhood home in Ohio, will be in attendance for UFC 300 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on April 13. The UFC Hall of Famer was hospitalized due to severe smoke inhalation — and again for pneumonia — before being released from the hospital last month.

“I’m so excited today,” Coleman wrote on Instagram. “The UFC is bringing me in, giving me and my daughters tickets to the biggest show ever: UFC 300 in Las Vegas. So stoked, let’s go. The BMF belt, that’s the one I’m excited about. The main event is huge as well. The whole card is sick. See you there. What a great day to be alive. Be the best version of yourself you can be. You never know when you’re gonna need it.”

While nothing is confirmed, it’s now possible that Coleman will be able to grant Max Holloway’s request and present the BMF belt to the winner of the UFC 300 clash between the Hawaiian and Justin Gaethje.

In addition to being in the Hall of Fame, Coleman was the first UFC heavyweight champion and won the Pride Fighting Championships grand prix in 2000. A former national champion wrestler at Ohio State University, Coleman is also known as “The Godfather of Ground-and-Pound.”
