“We left the house with nothing but the clothes on our backs and no shoes on our feet.” Cobbs’ wife Aiyda said.

Cobbs and his wife also noted how grateful they were for saving their dog from the fire.

“We left the house and I was able to go back in to get our dog Louie. We cannot thank Chief Caruthers, Captain Irvin and the Nashville Fire Department enough for their quick action,” the couple wrote on Instagram.

The couple also noted that they are not sure if anything in their home can be saved. But in the aftermath, they’re just grateful to be alive.

“Unfortunately, we don’t know how much can be saved, if anything at all, but this is a reminder that nothing is more important than the health of our family,” they added.

Former UFC star sounds out after house catches fire

Former UFC champion Mark Coleman normally fights people in the ring. But recently he had to fight another opponent at an undisclosed location.

Coleman had to rescue his parents from a burning house. He was injured and had to be taken to the hospital by helicopter.

And the increased amount of time in the fire made his injuries more serious. Coleman described the injuries he suffered in a recent interview, including sore lungs and burned eyes.

“God is so great. I feel really good,” Coleman said in a video recorded from his hospital bed.

“My lungs hurt. My eyes are burned, but I’m alive. I feel so blessed that it’s in the hands of my higher power. He wants me to move on today and I do.”
