The UFC’s first-ever heavyweight champion, Mark Coleman, is fighting for his life after bravely saving his parents from a house fire on Tuesday morning.

According to a report from WTOL 11, multiple departments responded to the 2700 block of South River Road in Fremont, Ohio for a building on fire just after 4 a.m. The report confirms that the family got out of the home, but one individual, Coleman, was airlifted to a local hospital after passing out in the burning home. Coleman is said to have physically carried his parents out of the house as the fire quickly grew out of control.
