The MMA Hour: Israel Adesanya, Dan Hooker, and Mark Coleman | Apr 12, 2024 

00:02:00 The latest on UFC 300. 00:17:03 Mark Coleman will talk about UFC 300 and his recent heroic rescue of his parents from a house fire. 01:40:37 Israel Adesanya will discuss facing Alex Pereira and what’s next for him. 02:29:05 Dan Hooker will join us in studio to discuss what’s next for him. 03:17:03 GC & Ric rejoin. 03:40:45 GC will reveal his final bets for UFC 300.

Mark Coleman’s retelling of the house fire was very touching and emotional. Talk about a real hero

That segment of Coleman at 20:52 telling and relieving everything that happened at the house fire is as raw as it f'ing gets

“Is this the guy that makes the gloves” got me good 😂😂😂

Izzy is now the guy going around on interviews and podcasts talking about “I beat that guy once “ 😂😂

More of these touring studios please, very different dynamic

Israel is so scared of alex, kinda hilarious

When I see Mark Coleman I feel great because he's a true example of resilience, a man who used to be addicted and now a sober real life hero. His history is inspiring, and the love he still has for the sport very evident, so I got almost emotional when I heard he was invited to be part of ufc 300, specially considering all the hell he's been thorough, the loss of his lovely partner Hammer and everything. Like Mark has recognized he wasnt a great person back then, but he's changed, he's good now and it tells. Long live and love for a pioneer, a trailblazer in mma, but most importantly a solid example of true internal strength, of overcoming addictions for his family and future. It's never too late.

I’m here for Mark Coleman. Let’s go Mark. HAMMER HOUSE FOR LIFE!

Man marc coles story is crazy and so emotional. So happy hes the one wrapping the BMF title instead of the gay rock

1:43:28 hearing this from Izzy's mouth is pretty shocking. That is a fan of yours still rooting for you despite all the noise and cringe. I have been an Izzy day 1 and up to now have just enjoyed his fights n blocking out the ego. I think that will be a kick in the teeth for a lot his real fans.

This Mark Coleman is THE BEST INTERVIEW EVER!!! The emotional roller coaster was like watching the movie A Beautiful Life- tears, laughter, love. Just wow! Great job Ariel and crew!

I wasn't ready for the Mark Coleman interview. it got me emotional. So glad he was able to save his parents and was able to make it! 🙏

God blessed you Mark and will continue too. Much luv brother

RIP HAMMER TRUE DOG THAT TRADED HIS LIFE FOR THE OG MARK THE HAMMER COLEMAN.

Hooker/BSD dope fight

Here for the hangman

Mark Coleman is undefeated at life

@arielhelwani this @Markcolemanmma segment and interview is absolute top tier bro. big up both of you, what a guy.

Izzys opinion on not fighting alex is some of the dumbest reasoning ive heard in quite some time

Coleman, what a man, hero.

Izzy 'i beat that guy once'😅😅😅

Mark Coleman is the real deal! 😳

Izzy says the aussie fans are raciest because they don’t like him? 😂

Dan is always fun

Before the haters flood the comments section 😂. Great job all week guys, especially Thursday and Friday. To get these level of shows done while on the road is a FANTASTIC achievement. You should all be proud.

Ever since Covid happened, it's surreal how much in person studio appearances for podcasts are missed vs doing them remotely. Great show today 👍

I'm very happy to see Coleman up and walking 👍

Izzy didnt let Ariel off the hook when he tried to get all technical with the “clickbait” headlines lol

I was not expecting him to talk about how much he believes in the 9 ancestral tenets of the Liver King 😂

Great interview, love ya Mark!!!

WE LOVE YOU MARK THE HAMMER COLEMAN! A TRUE OG!

Love this episode, Mr. Colman i have so much respect for and hearing his story touched my heart and brought me to tears , MMA hour keep up the great work I love your channel

Coleman interview brought me to tears real stuff guys thanks

Izzy is so insecure its actually crazy

When mark was describing his ordeal damn that got me tearing up. What a legend .

Rick gives off heavy Steven Crowder vibes with the haircut and body language. He’s almost a different person when you see his whole body.

Lol Dan Hooker is a freaking beast, Ariel threw out a name 'Paddy?' and Dan just goes real casual 'Yeah sure, come on then.' And Dan is like that about everyone, dude fought and beat a heavyweight like literally a hundred pounds outsized and won before he got to UFC.

Izzy is a big dude it’s crazy he is 185

Did Strickland defend the belt ? 😂

Izzy was extremely stoned , it’s funny seeing them wonder why he was acting “different” 😂

Dan will sneak his way into that stadium. He'll follow a Zuk or a Dana in, or go sit in the media section. 😂

Izzy coming off horrible

I really didn't feel like crying today but Mark telling his story put a bit of a damper on that

I have done the theater viewing once, UFC 284 Volk vs. Islam 1. I would highly recommend it for a one-time, super fun. Watched it with 4 friends, looking back we spent more than just buying the PPV. But all my friendals were into it!

Best mma interview ever

Good to see Izzy on the show

Love the mma hour

Had the option to take today for next month, but I was already out here. So I said I'd set-up and see how it goes.

Izzy always cringe holycrap

No excuses BUT

didnt hear ariel ask any questions at the conferences🤔

Izzy might be the best fighter with the worst personality

dan with the I love ugly!! dude knows his fashion

I just rewatched the Williams fight, it seemed fine for the times, Williams held the cage for a few seconds during the takedown but got taken down anyway, mark grabbed the fence multiple times just as much as Williams, big John actually picked mark up off the canvas after the first round, the stand up was probably unwarranted but didn’t effect the fight to much, mark actually landed his hardest punches after the stand up

Salute to Ya Hammer Wrestlers are some of , if not thee Tuffest .. What Mark nd Matt had endured nd survived is God Grace's nd because wrestling built them mentally, nd physically.

Mark Coleman is a legend. Someone should be doing a go fund me for his parents.

When u ask a old person questions. Let them explain it..we hear u everyday.. let them talk

Izzy glazing himself so hard is cringe bruh, his whole personality is garbage

I am white so I know more about Norway than a guy from Norway. Trust me, I am in touch....

Pete Williams did grab AND hold onto the fence with both hands and defended a takedown that way

Marks a beast proud ohioan

Ariel, you need to reach out & make up with Dana & get your ass back to these ufc events, don't care if you're right or wrong, suck it up, your fans deserve it

Mark been thru it

Highlight and hangman are the craziest baddest mada sakas in UFC . Just my opinion atm. What u reckon hangman . Unleash your infamous callouts. I reckon u already own that title and hopefully that hokianga fella is debuting🤐🙏🤔💨

GC = Gloveman Connor

Israel vs khamzat would be a superfight especially if hypothetically speaking khamzat could dominate rob and adesanya beat dricus and avenge the Sean fight

No fire alarms? 🤔

I jus can't can't bet behind Helwani.... but, he gets them interviews! I feel like Helwani is a true life heel, like he's jus all about himself.... but then again... it works cause I watch certain interviews of his jus because he gets them first!

Ariels hobbits- Get off zoom. & apparently leaving the house leads to... smooth cut beards and the appearance of showered man boys, glazed with axe.

Get Dan on the watch along party if he doesn't get a ticket!!!!

Chris Eyedman

I certainly don’t think Dan wins the belt but it’s not impossible. Get to around top 7 and be ready for a short notice title fight. Once you’re in there anything can happen (maybe not against machachev lol)

It really seems that people with bad mental health problems get themselves a dog. Usually as big as possible. ♥️

Motel-wani getting offended while flexing studio money, we know you didn't sleep in that room dawg

“COME TO DADDY”

Why make that man relive that.

FFS take your sunglasses off, Izzy.

Re-watching Mark Coleman vs Pete Williams (UFC 17 - Redemption) 15.05.1998. 29 seconds into the fight Pete grabs top of cage delaying Marks eventual takedown (Let go of the top, let go of the top!, Big John instructed). At 5:35 seconds Big John for some unknown reason stands the fighters up, Mark on top with effective ground & pound, Pete attacking and defending from the bottom, there was plenty of ground action, Mark was Khabib, before Khabib. No need to stand up the fighters by today's educated fans standards, but back then, the ground game was considered boring by most fans (John is aware of this). Big John at the 7:45 mark, John exclaims, Come-on, let's work!, the guys were stand up fighting, working, just not to John's standard. Someone obviously told John to keep the fights entertaining I assume this to be consisting of kicks, slams and punches in bunches. At the 8:54 mark, with Pete's back against the cage, Mark fingers/grips the cage, not prevent Pete's escape, but more like Mark was resting and/or needed somewhere safe to place his hand. At 8:59 John tells Mark to get your hands off the fence! Pete wasn't trying to move away, so Mark's fence holding didn't really affect the fight, his fingers in the fence was obvious and had to be addressed. Mark was warned a couple more time to let go of the fence while trying to keep Pete against the fence. At 10:09 Mark attempts a take down but Pete grabs the fence with two hands preventing the take down, Big John says nothing, the announcer says, good technique by Pete! At 10:16 the same thing happens, Pete hangs on to the fence with Mark expending energy finally takes Pete down and begins catch his breath to begin ground & pound. They are told to work, come on guys lets get it going at 11:16. End of regulation time, John helps Mark up off of Pete and asks Mark if he is OK and tells him that he has 3 mins left. And finally at 19:38 in the fight, Pete kicked Mark in the face, knocking him out! Had this Ref, Big John, stand up not occurred, Mark may have stopped Pete, no way of really knowing, but I do know that John's decisions adversely affected the outcome of the fight for Mark. Mark has a legitimate, water under the bridge, gripe.

Dan Hooker all of a sudden thinks because someone jumps in front of him t they’re good enough to go against, previously wouldn’t fight money!

I was gana watch but kept scrolling after the enoying intro

Yo Pete Williams was holding onto the cage for his life

Israels excuses

Awww

DDP would have gone to the UFC regardless of Izzy was there first or not. Dogbender didn't pave nothing🤣

Okay so I have never had jewish or chinese youtube suggestions before. My top 2 recommended videos whilst watching this are a jewish and chinese video........

Correction "the pride of China " not New Zealand"

Nice motel :)

Why did Ariel put Izzy out like that?? Then turned around 10 minutes later, pointed at Izzy’s leg, and said this one here??? After Izzy said he doesn’t put his business out there, and didn’t want smart coaches to realize his injury.

Israel adesanya!

*…the great *mark coleman, …thankyou mma hour team 👋🏾🥲

Ariel isnt the guy to share emotional stuff with, considering he supports israel

Wanganui

So Adesanya is claiming Nigeria, China and New Zealand 🙄

Too much MMA talk

Israel doesn’t want to fight the best. He just ducks them

Pfp #1 MMA journalist bar none

Hell yeah Izzy and Dan, repping NZ on the international stage. On ya boys!!!

ariel def let izzy rawdawg him

Dan Hooker poopoo
