Mark Coleman back in hospital needing emergency surgery: "My hip is septically infected"

Mark Coleman is unfortunately back in hospital due to his hip. Hip issues are common for wrestlers, and the decorated former Olympian in amateur wrestling has had to go to the hospital to subvert these specific ailments multiple times over the years.

By way of his personal Instagram account, @markcolemanufc, Mark Coleman addressed having to be medically admitted once again when he said,

"Back in the hospital again. My hip is septically infected. They're going to do emergency surgery today. But I'm on blood thinners. So they're going to have to wait until Monday. So I'm gonna hang out here for the weekend. All's gonna be fine, sober's cool. Carnivore diet, nine ancestral tenants. Hammer house for life, who's in?"

Mark Coleman and health issues in recent years

Unfortunately for Mark Coleman, this recent trip to the hospital is not an anomalous thing for him in recent years. In late 2020, he took himself to the hospital after feeling pains in both his arms and chest.

The later discovery from medical professionals was that 'The Hammer' had suffered a heart attack. There was a blockage found in an artery, which led to a procedure to remove it and a stent was placed in him thereafter.

The inaugural UFC heavyweight champion also has been very open in recent years about his recovery following issues with alcoholism. This is referenced a bit in the above Instagram video where Coleman mentions how sobriety is cool.

The lifestyle change for Mark Coleman came in the following year from the heart attack, as the former 2000 Pride FC grand prix openweight champion went to rehab in 2021 for alcohol issues.

The 59-year-old also had to go to the hospital earlier this year following a justifiably much-publicized heroic effort that saw him save his parents from a burning home. Coleman reportedly battled for his life following the situation and had to be intubated due to copious smoke inhalation during the traumatic episode.

The Ohio native would return to the gym mere days after being released from the hospital. This was documented by retired UFC fighter Matt Brown posting footage of Coleman getting in work.
