Man this dude takes his loses with humbleness and that’s a sign of a true champion
@@jiggetty Roid rage
@@jiggetty You speak the truth....
And that he feels real honor being inducted into the hof instead of the usual arrogant "I SHOULD be here". Mark is awesome.
he did not when he first lost to Fedor. had a roid rage attack. but he's alright.
No. It’s a sign of somebody that doesn’t care about fighting other than collecting the paycheck.. This guy prefers being a father than fighting,.. why should we care as fight fans about this undedicated clown??? As a fight fan I want to see content on absolute passionate fighters that would put up their kids for adoption so he could schedule more fights with the extra free time!!
Fedor was solid with his daughters. Totally tried to calm them, like the boss he is.
Class act
The GOAT!
Fedor is the best
THE GOAT.
Well done, God then family. Everything else is secondary.👍😎😇
He wears Kevin Randleman's tribute tshirt probably he loved him as like his son :( true legend
I got a staph infection from training with him dammit
I caught that too. Awesome.
@@TheRealJohnJ10 The staph? What's awesome about that
@@Karl_Squell it’s a trophy man
Randleman is a Hammer House son
I'm not gonna lie, I wa not expecting to cry watching this video. Mark Coleman's love for his kids is truly moving. God bless that man
The best part of this video is when a broken old Mark Coleman cries when he hears his daughters say they're proud of him....if you don't have kids yet, you might not yet understand how that makes you feel.
Agreed
Must be a great feeling... when I have kids one day, I hope that the paths I choose will do the same
Even though you dont have kids, you can relate
im crying! That was intense in a great way!
I am child free man,but I have 2 nephews and I know exacty the love they show us,love of a child is purê love anyway.
"The godfather of ground and pound". Probably one of the most underrated nicknames in UFC history.
Yeah because nobody knew how to wrestle at that time.
@@CluedUp23 Coleman is an intense personality that I think just triggers some people. I'm a huge fan of him... what an absolute warrior. Some people dont understand what these pioneers of MMA went through, it was brutal.
@Stolen From Africa that average black IQ of 85 is showing
@@redlights1585 Don't talk up people that don't deserve it bud. That isn't color speaking but just pure ignorance.
lt4maro more like The Godfather or shooting up and cheating
I got chills watching Mark with his kids and step kids. What a great piece. I always tell people that there is a huge difference from fighting in the UFC and being a real fighter. Mark Coleman is a real fighter!
Prayers up for Mark 😔❤️🙏🏽
Last night Mark was with his parents at a renovation rental property
Hammer (Marks dog) woke him up and the house was on fire
The enormity of the blaze had Mark pick his father up and run him out of the house, he returned to get his mother
all of her hair burnt off
When Mark went back in to get his dog he passed out in the house
He was airlifted to the hospital and it doesn’t look good
He's dog also unfortunately passed away 😔 such a sad suitation
Much respect to him. He did everything he could. Almost didn't make it out himself. I hope he gets a full recovery and I'm sure one day he'll see his dog again someday...just hopefully not soon.
I hope he will be fine soon.
Don Frye's mustache has more testosterone than my whole body
Hahaha! I spit my milk all over my phone!
tier1solutions28
It’s legendary.
funniest post of the day. hahaha
Hahaha
Brilliant :)
It’s so crazy seeing his daughters grown up, the scene with them crying, being held by Coleman and reassured by Fedor is iconic
Fedor was a class act there for sure. Seemed to be trying to comfort the kids too, that's pretty awesome.
Фёдор НЕ актёр .. он такой есть
Iconicly stupid.
lol i like how Fedor manages to win their trust and they give him a little wave
Yeah you can tell he felt pretty bad about doing that in front of those girls
That was dope. Really put a smile on my face to see how happy HE was and how much love he had for his family. Just beautiful.
True.
What an absolute tear jerker! Coleman is the man & I hope UFC took care of him, he definitely deserves it for what he contributed to the sport. A true Legend, Pioneer and an all around great man! God bless you champ!
Alright who’s cutting onions in here. 🤧🤧🤧
Yep
Damn I was searching for this comment 🤣
I gotta admit I get real emotional when I think about what Mark has gone through.
Rsrs..yes.
just cutting cheese bruh
I'm really loving theses "where are they know?" Vids, keep them coming UFC I can watch these all day.
Buy ufc fightpass there is 4 season on there
@@brokenfacedclown1045 why buy it, if I could get it for free.
insaiyan Poncho totally agree!
There was a greater sadness in his voice when speaking about his daughters and his divorce than for his losses. I feel for, Mark Coleman. I hope things are better with him and his family.
You notice everyone he fought respected him and gave him love. That says alot. He's a fine pioneer of MMA. One of my all time favs.
That’s because all his opponents didn’t want to burn bridges trying to preserve their chance to smash his daughters when their period ends
Rocking that Randleman Shirt, RIP.
he trained with randleman constantly
That's so cool of him to do that....👊🏿
Bringed tears in my eyes. Rsrss..
R.I.P.
Yeah I noticed the lack of a Randleman mention in the video. They were great friends.
Mark Coleman is a true MMA Legend. Not many can say the same.
Khabib out of 249, can that guys is out because of pandemic? Old school! Who knows, but they all was on steroids, don't forget that!
he was weak
Those early fight he had were just won because he could wrestle, I don't think the opponents knew what they were getting into because I imagine if he did stand up he would of had less of a chance. He's also jacked up on steroids.
There are many of them,actually..
@@dodowd9913 not really, there can be many big stars but very few are gonna be remembered like the icons
Man it makes me so happy to see how happy this legend is, I wish you all the best Mr. Coleman.
That is what happy looks like to you?
He awake everyone our prayers have been answered
Watching one of the greatest badasses to ever grace the octagon try and do his daughter's hair made me choke up a bit. I have nothing but respect for Mark Coleman, and I wish him nothing but the best for him and his family as his life goes on. 'Cause that's what life does for us all. It just goes on.
Word.
Back in the day, I think Big John McCarthy thought 'tapping out' was actually 'tagging in' and it was his turn to spear the opponent.
well he was originally intending to be a fighter as i recall...lol
That's why he clotheslined Brian Johnston & busted his nose
Lol that's a perfect explanation!
Yeah really he's a jerk
LMAO...
That bit with his daughters saying how proud they are of him was amazingly wholesome and beautiful. Brought both a smile and a tear.
I met Mark years ago toward the end of his career. We took a pic posing with our fists up. He’s one of the nicest people in the world. Mark. I wish you all the best in the world. And the best with your daughters. You are an exceptional person. Your humility shines.
He deserves to be told his kids are proud of him, he deserves more respect then he gets....He is a Legend
snydesy I’m not crying,
Coleman face is def on mma mount rushmore
Indeed he is👍
No he's a cheat cmon
Thank you! Facts!!!
9:14 - Respect to Fedor Emelianenko for understanding what Mark was dealing with with his daughters and taking time to greet them and assure them he was a nice guy, too.
Fedor is the GOAT man.
A true champion
That was all class, a true moment of humanity!
Mark, you and I went through the same thing with a divorce and two daughters. It almost killed me. This video shows me what a stand up individual you are and you’re an inspiration to me. Thanks Mark
Whine whine whine
what a complete loser comment to make@@ZZ-zj4ky
I have three daughters of my own and this hit me in the feels hard. Your a good man Mark.
The look of a father who loves his children more than life. I recognise it.
I don’t.. and no that’s not unfortunate for me, tbh i dont know why im commenting this.
So true
I'm such a softy. I'm so happy the girls told their dad they were proud of him.
Me too brother I hope one day my daughter tells me the same
@Zeek Banistor thats more likely lol
@Zeek Banistor I was joking brother my daughter loves me more than life itself. And she is my world I do all the things you mentioned and more. And trust me I am dreading her teenage years. I know the time I have with her the way she is now is finite. But brother ima injoy every moment of it. Thanks for the kind gesture tho.
What a sweet man. When his daughters genuinely told him they were proud of him, that meant everything. It was as if he was living for that moment.
God bless Mark Coleman. I respect the pioneers of this sport so much. I’m glad he’s recovering well too.
When his daughters told him they were proud of him and all he accomplished, I broke down as a father that knows what divorce does to a family
So staying in an unhealthy marriage would be better?
@fern me too brother. Divorce traumatizes kids, but it's better that way than living in a toxic home. Myself, my son and my ex are far happier now than ever.
@@DewitticusBrett Yes, same here, my two daughters, my ex wife and i are doing way better without being cramped together and quarrel about everything. Some are just not build for having a family but end up having one anyway, so sometimes it's better to face the facts and get some distance for the sake of every one involved.
BITCHES AINT SHIT
I’m right there with you man.
Man, my heart tore when I saw him hug his little girls after the fight with Fedor.
Yeah, I saw that fight live. It was tough to watch. At one point Coleman kept punching a stoic Fedor to try to show his little girls that Fedor is not dangerous and Fedor just stood there and took it. Class act all the way.
@@mkreku Thats gold right there
i watched that on PPV. i was shocked and appalled that the kids were there. I kind of thought less of him for that until i learned that it was the PRIDE promotion that did that. Coleman just got mauled by Fedor then had to be daddy and explain Fedor wasn't a bad guy like "look we are friends". *eye roll* it was a shitty thing to do.
@@SavageHenry762 Yeah throwing in the daughters in the ring after the fight was really fucked up. Who's decision was that, some japanese or an american?
Who brings kids into a place like that?
Put his body on the line for his family, even though he separated he still gives his all for another women & her children... this is the man, inspiring dude.
Man how can't you respect this man! The pain in that mans voice about his family! Good guy and a LEGEND.
Man he’s surprisingly lucid after all he went through in his career. Seems like a really nice guy.
he didn't strike as much which actually turned out to be a good thing
He's one of the best guys ever..
@@watenallace663 except for all those headbutts that were his signature ground and pound in the beginning.
Worked out at same gym as him in Columbus, OH back in like 2003. He was a nice guy. Not overly friendly but he’d always talk to you and answer questions as far as giving tips etc.
One of the best. Should've seen him fight before UFC. Beast
Maybe physically he doesn't look that good, but more importantly his mental state seems really great his speech is perfect! Makes me happy
R jenkins ahahahah great ahahahah perfect
@@BigMac-ho3fm Why you being such a jerk bro? Turn off your computer and take a nap.
Not sure what cud u saw but clearly mark sounds slowe, not being a jerk just honest
You can’t put your body through all of that and have it not shut down. I’m no fighter but i was in the ring as a kid and played basketball and baseball. Very little football...and my knees and back are jacked up! I have to warm up just to warm up! Lol. This guy did 100 times that.
MAYBE a lil punch drunk, but wow, hat's off to the guys that lay their life on the line in the cage for our entertainment,..sad really...but it's a warrior mentality
He’s a genuine guy and a legend
The thing with his daughters was pretty awkward. Good for fedor for being a good sport and helping to calm them down.
You don’t have kids i take it
Love how humble he is. Glad he's another retired fighter with a good life.
There is nothing humble about him.....he is depressed cos he is not humble you can see it clearly
paul burton
You must know him a lot from this video
paul burton with age comes humbleness. Humbleness is the best .
“Besides the day my daughters were born, this is the best day of my life” -Mark Coleman after winning the Pride Grand Prix.
Daniel Cormier said similar after winning the heavyweight belt
But this is a video of Mark Coleman and his daughters...
Coleman was a savage glad to see his soft side. Congrats Champ on your new life and many blessings.
Coleman, one of my all time fav's from the yesteryear's... along with Fedor, Gracie, Couture, Crocop, Henderson, Matt Hughes, Lidell..
"I'm getting better at doing hair." Not a sentence I would have ever predicted to hear from the Hammer. I'm glad he is doing well. I hope he and his extended family are all very happy. That man certainly made a lot of fight fans very happy.
Real men do their daughters hair. Or try that is
Crazy how such a terrifying badass is such a gentle kind soul....
Scott Louis that’s what makes him so dangerous
Scott Louis his family is not to be played with lmao, he has the punisher mentality
619 575 you shut the fuck up
Well the terrifying badass was juiced up all the time. And the gentle isn't. my guess. Either way it's awesome that he looks back on it all and gives credit where its deserved.
He was a notorious bully.
Mark, I admire you as a fighter but now, I respect you even more, because of your immense love for your daughters!
This man saved his parents from a burning building, went back for Hammer (the dog that alerted him about the fire).
They found him unconscious inside the burning house.
This man is a real one!
You can tell he really loves his daughters. And he’s right, divorces are ugly. Pray things go his way with his girls 🙏🏻
Seems like a cool dude. Man he was effen jacked back in his fighting days. God bless man!
I hate to be that guy i really dont give a shit in bodybuilding and etc.. but the dude was obviously on steroids...
@@JG-vo8ey Yeah I don't think they tested back then.
He was juiced
Watch the smashing machine documentary they actually inject steroids backstage at pride
Roids
God bless you Mark. Wish I had such a great father like you!
So beautiful to see Mark grow as father! Great video, brought me back to my childhood watching his old fights. Mad respect to Mr Hammer!!
Man ufc is KILLING these 🥺 got me choked up when his daughter’s said they’re proud of him, you just see the emotion overwhelm his face. Scary guy with a beautiful soul.
I cried 2 and a half times watching this tbh
Man I cried too.
After seeing how he lives now you just hope that the UFC comes up with some sort of fighters union. For the amount of damage that's done to them throughout their entire career, some fighters just don't get compensated the way they should.
If anyone has opposing views I’m more than glad to hear what you have to say. And man why’s everyone so toxic we should all accept each others opinions, because this is a very current topic in the UFC.
There should be a hall of fame pension
The effects of divorce.
@Austin King How can you be over the age of 10 and have vocabulary that poor? Were you raised in a fucking cave?
@Austin King has never stepped in the ring. dude your comment does not elude to the fact that they were paid peanuts and taken advantage of and still are to this day. Go fight in some small promotion and get your ass whooped for $100. A lot UFC fights today can barely pay the bills and coaching staff while the UFC makes billions.
sam wright then don’t fight for the ufc
Very moving video that was well put together showcasing a great man, fighter and father. He has a great voice and tells the story well. Seeing him with his families brought tears and at the end seeing him eating wearing a Kevin Randleman (RIP Kev) t shirt really got me!
I love his relationship with his daughters. That is the best portion of this video. MC sounds like a wonderful father, which is the best compliment anyone can have. Great job sir !!
Love the humility and respect the Hammer shows for his former foes.
Do they have a Kevin Randleman Tribute? They need one RIP absolute legend.
Craig Szymanski hes dead bro
Jody Highroller he said RIP. That’s what a tribute is
Too inappropriate for the title "where are they now" though.
I'd love it if they did. Randleman was my fucking hero. I loved following him wrestling for Ohio State
VWowczcams.com/video/oT6aLBBRhGA/video.html
Mark has been through the ringer, sex abuse, a brutal divorce, all the years grinding as an athlete and fighter, and he's still here on the other side of all of it striving to heal and learn and grow into an even better person than he already is. Total respect for him!
As a dad of 4 kids when I seen his daughters come in the ring crying man that hit me hard...
Imagine picking up your date and Mark "The Hammer" Coleman is standing at the door.
I'd just leave lol. Better to keep my teeth.
Bro I was thinking the same thing
I’d fan out lol
Imagine being that boy and telling your friends at school, "I live with Mark the Hammer Coleman. He trains me in the basement."
@some boby - Yeah, you go with that, the smirk would end up on the other side of your head, power is the last to go. :)
Robert Deniro + Vin Diesel = Mark Coleman.
so true !
Mike from Breaking Bad
I thought it was vin diesel lol
But realer than both
holy shit
I watched it all, every one of those fights. The Hammer only fought on the biggest stage, under the brightest lights, and against the toughest competition. LEGEND! Thanks for taking us on that ride Mark. I remember that night with Fedor and Mark's daughters. I was so impressed with Fedor and the way he put Mark's daughters at ease with a friendly smile.
Mark is a good dude. Love him and Don Frye. Two real ones.
Omg imagine dating Mark Coleman's daughter, then you get asked to meet her parents!
That would be cool as hell unless you planned on treating her like shit
This guy gets it
I would ask him if he could teach me al he knows about fighting
I couldn't imagine it. They're too ugly.
That would be my dream
The family stuff is so heart warming
I was a kid when i saw his fights for the first time, thx to my father. Mark seems like a really good human being. Peace to you and your family!
This was great, really showed the human side of fighters. And even though he was a beast you feel like giving him a big hug!
When he said "thank you, I did it for you girls" made me really sad. What a man will put himself through for his little girls.
Its also not really true, he did it just as much for himself
@@Monscent very true. He was wrestling and Fighting before they were born. He was just paying the bills and doing what he knows and enjoys
Alot of these mma pioneers weren't necessarily going for the career that unfolded before them. I think Colemans interviews / parts in Mark Kerr documentary The Smashing Machine tells a story where it's obvious that there is alot of ambiguity regarding his motives and tbh financially seemed to be the most important one - that's some intense pressure..
The girls didn’t seem to great full to me
Monscent Yes you are 💯 right I did it for me but I also did it for them ⚒
Oh man .. I'm cryin' here .. such a wonderful, straight up guy.
Dude same, watching these legends reflect on their careers and triumphs+struggles brings me to tears when nothing else will! So beautiful seeing this man reflect on an amazing career. One of our MMA founding fathers!
Legend.
We from Brazil salute you , Mr. Coleman.
Much respect to this man I watched most of his fights and to see him now how humble he is its amazing.
How can a man who got so many shots to the head,was even the victim of a very scary knockout...years on end... still talk better then Nate Diaz...
I Believe nick and Nate drop out of middle school if you add that up with heavy weed use and brain damage
@@AxelArmentaMMA 😂 true that.. kinda thought the same thing
Mma gloves do less brain damage than boxing gloves over the course of a fight. Also most boxers do retarded sparring whereas MMA is more intelligent with training.
@@close6643 ok... how does that explain why Mark Coleman talks better than nate diaz?
@@Muzzaa i believe they're training out of Richard Perez gym which is a boxing gym
Tears, Mark Coleman is a great guy, I travelled 17 years and sacrificed everything for my daughters, hats off Mr. Coleman
This guy prefers being a father than fighting,.. why should we care as fight fans about this undedicated clown??? As a fight fan I want to see content on absolute passionate fighters that would put up their kids for adoption so he could schedule more fights with the extra free time!!
@@braveinternetguy wtf dude
i think hes trolling@@WegrennerX
When he said "thank you" with that breaking voice after his daughter said she was proud of him, my face started to leak salt water.
Coleman was priming out in my teens and has always been one of my greatest inspirations through some of my hardest times. He motivated me to take control, hit the weights and work hard for what I want in life. Still killin it to this day thanks for being a straight up dude Mark.
13:15 That "thank you" made me choke up.
That broke me.
I literally came to the comments to see if anyone said this. My eyes immediately watered up.
Maurice Smith is another Pioneer you rarely hear about. His striking and takedown defense was pretty damn good for the time.
Yeah for sure. A full-scale kickboxer that developed TD defense heavily. Aldo, before there was an Aldo. Highly underrated.
@@Black-Circle yeah dana has some very annoying flaws when iz comes to his fighters
Absolute Legend of a Man.
So precious in what your daughters said about you.
I can feel the pain of his divorce in his voice. It really is painful when someone is truly wanting the family life like mark did. I went through it also, and the scars run so deep, and don't ever seem to heal. Only people who have been through it would understand.
Men usually suffer the most because the courts lean towards the female auto winning and also society does not want to hear or allow the man the open up about his pain. Men are just told to suck it up and move on while the woman gets all she wants financially and emotionally.
I wish him the best he is a good man inside
that why MGTOW (Men going their own way) is so popular these days. I eventually want a family but would never be crazy enough to do it in a Westernized country where feminism dominates. Your much better off moving to Asia or Latin America if you want to start a family.
You speak the truth man. It fucking sucks.
Sadly, mark will never have the same relationship with his older daughters as he did when they were little. During divorce the mother will brainwash the kids into thinking the dad is the bad guy and things will never be the same.
Mike R I’m with ya brother ! Sad to say but things are never quite the same after a divorce with kids .
Yeah, divorce did this to my Dad as well. It happened to him almost exactly a year ago now, and he has completely changed as result.
He can pass as Vin Diesel's dad now
they damn near the same age
I thought it was him in the thumbnail
lol Mark Coleman 55. Vin Diesel 52. Someone lived a much, much easier life.....
Yeah the Mexican supplements really took their toll
UFC, thanks for doing this. I have always followed Mark Coleman and liked his story. Where Are They Now is a great program. Looking forward to seeing more episodes of UFC legends. Been watching since the very first one.
As a man who has been thru divorce myself and lost my kids its nice to see that his daughters are still in his life that means more to him then they even know
People forget how brutal mma was back then and dont realize that these guys are different warriors compared to the ones today who will fake an injury by eye pokes and lows blows every now and then
Ishan S true. But technically all sports were savage when they first started. Look at nfl
and Nba
They were savage but less skilled. Those guys didn’t have the well rounded game of people today.
Yea I think it's easy to pick out newer fans in these comments.
@@jasonm9264 they were the pioneers that led to modern day MMA athletes

Man!!! What a sweet man Coleman turned out to be. I wasnt expecting that. Heart of gold man. God bless you and your family!
First saw Mark Coleman when I watched “the smashing machine” back in the day. If you haven’t seen it give it a watch. It’s kind of sad to see him like this now the guy was an absolute monster. He looks like a totally different person. Seems a really nice guy. The ufc should look after these legends who built the sport and throw them some cash! Please do a where are they now on Mark Kerr! 💪🏻👏🏻
Smashing Machine is a great documentary, but very sad. I watch it a few times each year. There is a moving coming soon, I have read, with The Rock playing Mark Kerr.
Best comment
Wow that was some scene with his daughters in the octagon. Fedor was the perfect opponent for that moment
Maybe it's bad idea for a little girl to see daddy fight in an MMA fight.
Looking good man. There is nothing better then watching your daughters grow up. I've been watching you for years.
this man is So Kind and a Family man MUCH Respect to him
He went on to become head of corporate security at Los Pollos Hermanos
C4reful haha yeah was also thinking he looked a lot like Mike, especially in the looking-into-the-camera shots
lmao i just wanted to write this as well ! glad to see this comment
The Rocky of UFC. Such a soft heart.
Very humble and truthful, oh man, so refreshing when it's real.
Mark Coleman is a true warrior. Glad to see he found peace and happiness outside the ring.
Man you can tell he got out of this "sorta" at the right time. Seems to have all his marbles and then some.
Really good to see he's doing all right, great gf, good relationship with all of the kids.
JK I don’t know I hope he’s at least sitting on a few hundred thousand dollars
Buns Loco only one that was possibly fixed was the takada fight. The rest was not fixed Coleman had wars in japan
Buns Loco no way Coleman put a whoopin on those guys the fujita fight wasn’t his fault they threw in the towel
I remember that he introduced his daughters to Fedor after fight on the ring . That scene was most impressive for MMA's history. Thank you for coming my country many times.. I could watch many legend scene in Japan.
Hai korchin76... japanese?? u can speak english??? Im from Malaysia..
Lovely seeing such a brute of a man who is an absolute legend be so modest and complementary of his opponents
What a truly humble and honest guy ,, full respect
