UFC’s first-ever heavyweight champion, Mark Coleman, will attend the promotion’s UFC 300 PPV. Years after his retirement, Coleman is still making headlines for being the fighter he is. Last month, Coleman heroically saved his parents from a disastrous house fire. The UFC Hall of Famer courageously persevered through the dangerous situation, getting through the immediate threat.

During this process, Coleman suffered from a terrifying near-death experience from smoke inhalation. Coleman’s heroics garnered a lot of attention, including the UFC CEO Dana White, who gifted ‘The Hammer’ with tickets to UFC 300. Coleman took to Instagram on Tuesday and announced that he and his girls will attend UFC 300. 

I’m so excited today. 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.

In his prime, ‘The Hammer’ was an unstoppable force and has fought some of the biggest names in the history of MMA. He retired from fighting in 2010 and was also inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame. For his contribution to the sport, it made sense for him to attend the legendary UFC event.

UFC 300 will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main event will feature the title fight between Alex Pereira and Jamahal Hill. In addition, Weili Zhang and Yan Xiaonan‘s strawweight title fight is featured as the co-main event. Other than that, Justin Gaethjhe will defend his historic BMF title against Max Holloway. It is also a fight that Coleman looked forward to the most.

Will Max Holloway’s wish to involve Mark Coleman in presenting the BMF title at UFC 300 come true?

The ‘BMF’ title has a class of its own and holds a special place in the hearts of the MMA fans. The upcoming fight between Justin Gaethjhe vs. Max Holloway has gathered massive hype due to both fighters’ reputation as absolute madmen inside the octagon.

The ‘Blessed’ recently did an interview with the MMA Junkie where he shared his idea of Mark Coleman presenting the BMF belt. According to the former featherweight champion, Coleman is a true BMF and deserves that honor.

The only correct answer is Mark Coleman. The guy’s a G. That’s a real-life BMF. That would be sick if he did it. It would be an honor to get him to do it.

In the past, The Rock and Jorge Masvidal have presented the belt in UFC events. This time, the fans might see Coleman doing it after ‘The Hammer’ announced his presence at UFC 300. If it happens, the veteran will definitely receive a massive welcome from the crowd. At the moment, neither Dana White nor other UFC officials have yet to answer if Coleman could wrap the belt. If that happens, it will become one of the most memorable moments of 2024.
