Nurse!

The transgender woman who took a serious beating at Kanye West's Rolling Loud set last week is blasting the attack as transphobic ... while also explaining what exactly led up to it.

Blu Linares -- the 22-year-old who was seen in a wild brawl last week while Ye performed here in L.A. -- tells TMZ that she believes the violence she endured that night is directly connected to her gender identity.

She says she feels the men she sparred with singled her out for unintentionally bumping into them -- explaining that in the mosh pit-like environment, she was getting pushed around -- despite plenty of other concertgoers packed in the tight space doing the same thing.

Once she inadvertently made contact, Blu tells us the guys hurled transphobic remarks at her ... while trying to paint her as the aggressor when they were the ones to pounce first.

Blu shows us some of the injuries she suffered during the melee -- one deep gash between her eyebrows is especially bad, as you can see. Despite everything, she says she's OK.

Moving forward, Blu's planning to meet with some attorneys to weigh her options ... but also notes she most likely won't be taking any legal action. Blu emphasizes to us she wasn't the one starting the fight -- instead, she says she was being bullied and stood up for herself.

You'll recall ... Kanye West's set at Rolling Loud descended into a violent mosh pit, with Blu bloodied and battered in the midst of it all. While she got thrashed, she also held her own.

La mujer transgénero que recibió una paliza grave en el show de Kanye West Rolling Loud la semana pasada, está criticando el ataque como transfóbico y explica como se originó todo.

Blu Linares -la joven de 22 años que fue vista en una pelea salvaje la semana pasada mientras Ye actuaba en Los Ángeles- le dice a TMZ que cree que la violencia que sufrió esa noche está directamente relacionada con su identidad de género.

Ella dice que siente que los hombres con los que se peleó se enojaron por chocar involuntariamente con ellos durante el mosh pit, cosa que todo el mundo estaba haciendo

Una vez que hizo contacto, Blu nos dice que los chicos emitieron comentarios transfóbicos.

Blu nos muestra algunas de las lesiones que sufrió durante el tumulto... una herida profunda entre las cejas parece especialmente grave.

Blu planea reunirse con algunos abogados para sopesar sus opciones, pero también señala que lo más probable es que no emprenda ninguna acción legal. Blu enfatiza que ella no fue la que comenzó la pelea, en cambio, dice que estaba siendo intimidada y tuvo que defenderse.

En definitiva, la pobre chica tuvo que resistir algo más que solo un mosh pit.

El avistamiento de Kate Middleton que se informó esta semana es real después de todo, y hay un nuevo video que lo prueba... TMZ tiene una primera impresión.

TMZ ha obtenido un clip de Kate del sábado, en el que ella y el príncipe William estaban visitando un negocio que quedaba a una milla de distancia de su casa en Windsor -conocido como el Windsor Farm Shop- donde The Sun informó que testigos los vieron este fin de semana.

Los espectadores consideraron que ella parecía "feliz, relajada y saludable" mientras paseaban por una especie de supermercado. La pareja no parecía tener una preocupación en el mundo.

Sus tres hijos no estaban con ellos, pero The Sun afirmó que pasaron la primera parte de su sábado viéndolos practicar deportes. No había pruebas reales para respaldar el informe, pero ahora, una imagen de ella ha salido a la luz, y es 100% real.

Como se puede ver en estas imágenes -obtenidas por TMZ- Kate se ve relajada en ropa deportiva casual, con un look todo negro y algunos adornos color rosa. Su andar es fuerte, lo cual es una buena señal dada su supuesta cirugía abdominal. Se puede ver a William a su lado cargando algunas bolsas.

Nadie a su alrededor parece molestarlos, y Kate, en efecto, parece bastante alegre, sonriendo ampliamente e incluso manteniendo una conversación con su marido.

Uno de los testigos que los vio, Nelson Silva, dice: "Me fijé en un par de panes que estaban eligiendo, hasta que la mujer giró la cara y me pareció que la había visto en algún lugar. Me resultaba familiar. La conocía de alguna parte".

Y añade: "Fui a mi carro y cuando salieron de la tienda me limité a filmarlos. Creo que salieron por una puerta del recinto. Desaparecieron y no vi ningún vehículo. Solo quería compartir con mi familia las imágenes y mostrar lo normales que eran".

Silva termina: "Kate se veía feliz y relajada. Se ven felices de poder ir a una tienda y mezclarse. Kate parecía aliviada, como si hubiera sido un éxito poder ir a una tienda. Se sentía natural".

La pareja estaba caminando a un ritmo relativamente rápido y Kate se ve muy bien. Francamente, es como si nada hubiese pasado, aunque sabemos que ella estuvo en el hospital por un tiempo para realizarse un procedimiento serio que la dejó fuera de servicio.

La naturaleza exacta de su dolencia nunca fue aclarada por los funcionarios del Palacio de Kensington.

Por cierto, para todos los escépticos que no pueden creerlo, hemos profundizado en los metadatos y no hay duda alguna, esto fue filmado el sábado cerca de la casa del Príncipe y la Princesa de Gales en Windsor. Así que sí, es un video legítimo.

Como hemos dicho, esta es la primera vez que hemos visto a Kate en público -al menos fuera de un carro- desde diciembre, y ahora que la podemos ver, da para pensar en la reacción de los teóricos de la conspiración que se han apoderado de TikTok.

Recordemos que el Palacio dice que se sometió a una cirugía abdominal en enero, y estaba programado que estuviera ausente por lo menos hasta la Pascua. Sin embargo, esto no ha impedido que la gente haga bromas y surjan teorías conspirativas afirmando que se puso mal el Día de la Madre.

Por supuesto, nos referimos a las fallidas ediciones de Photoshop que dieron la vuelta al mundo, las cuales demostraron que Kate (o alguien en el Palacio de Kensington) trató de engañar al público. Hubo 16 alteraciones en la foto y ha sido calificada de falsa muchas veces.

Kate acabó confesando ella misma, aunque solo en una declaración por redes sociales. Mucha gente pensó que estaba haciendo trampa y que el Palacio estaba detrás de las ediciones.

Después de ese trabajo, todo el mundo pensó que algo muy grave estaba pasando, pero podemos ver que aparentemente Kate está bien.

The Kate Middleton sighting that got reported on this week is real after all -- 'cause a new video of her during this outing has surfaced ... and TMZ's got a first look.

TMZ has obtained a clip that was taken of Kate Saturday while she and Prince William were visiting a business about a mile from their home in Windsor -- known as the Windsor Farm Shop -- where The Sun reported eyewitnesses saw them out and about this past weekend.

Onlookers felt she looked "happy, relaxed and healthy" as she strolled in the store -- a supermarket of sorts -- and the couple didn't seem to have a care in the world.

Their three kids weren't with them ... but The Sun also claimed they spent the first part of their Saturday watching the children play sports. At first, there was no real evidence to back up the report ... but now, the first actual visual of her here has surfaced, and it's 100% her.

As you see in this footage, obtained by TMZ, Kate looks relaxed in casual athletic wear ... rocking an all-black look with some pink trimming. Her gait is strong -- a good sign given her purported abdominal surgery. PW is right by her side as they walk out of the Farm Shop with bags in hand.

Nobody around looks to be bothering them ... and Kate, sure enough, does indeed look pretty cheerful here -- smiling wide and even carrying on a conversation with her husband.

One of the eyewitnesses who saw them, Nelson Silva, says ... "I noticed a couple choosing loaves of bread and the woman turned her face and I felt like I had seen the face before. It was familiar. I knew it from somewhere."

He adds, "I went to my car and as they came out of the shop I just filmed them. I think they walked out through a gate out of the grounds. They just vanished and I didn't see a car. I just wanted to share with my family footage and show just how normal they were."

Silva finishes ... "Kate looked happy and relaxed. They look happy just to be able to go to a shop and mingle. Kate looked relieved like it was a success going to a shop. It felt natural."

The couple was walking at a relatively brisk pace ... and Kate, on its face, seems to be okay. Frankly, it's as if nothing was ever wrong with her ... although, of course, we know she was in the hospital for a while for a serious procedure that took her out of commission.

The exact nature of her ailment was never made clear by Kensington Palace officials.

BTW, for all the skeptics who might not believe this was taken as it's been relayed to us -- we've delved into the metadata ... and there's no doubt, this was filmed on Saturday right near the Prince and Princess of Wales' home in Windsor. So yes, it's a legitimate video.

Like we said, this is the first time we've seen Kate out in public -- outside of a car, that is -- since December -- and now that we're seeing her in the wild, on her own two feet, ya gotta wonder if this will satisfy conspiracy theorists who have taken over TikTok.

Remember, the Palace says she underwent abdominal surgery in January -- and was scheduled to be sidelined until at least Easter. Despite this timeline ... that hasn't stopped people from floating jokes/conspiracy theories, which got gravely serious on Mother's Day.

Of course, we're referring to the Photoshop fail seen 'round-the-world ... which showed that Kate (or someone at Kensington Palace) tried to pull a fast one on the public. There were 16 alterations made to the photo ... and it's been debunked as a fake many times over.

Kate ended up copping to it herself ... albeit, in nothing but a social media statement. Lots of people felt she was falling on the sword and that the Palace was behind the edits.

After that botched job ... everyone thought something very serious was going on -- but now, we're seeing Kate out and about and seemingly fine.

Are you believing your lying eyes?

Jake Gyllenhaal says he suffered a nasty injury while shooting the new "Road House" movie with Conor McGregor ... revealing he cut his hand right open during an intense fight scene -- and ended up with a staph infection.

The Academy Award nominee and UFC superstar opened up on working together on set during a recent episode of "Armchair Expert" with Dax Shepard ... and while they both praised each other's professionalism, there was a bit of bad blood involved.

Gyllenhaal -- who plays former MMA fighter Elwood Dalton in the flick -- explained he was shooting an intense showdown with Conor's character, Knox ... and the scene involved a ton of breakaway glass.

As it turns out, it didn't matter if it was real or fake ... 'cause when Gyllenhaal put his hand down on the bar in the middle of the take, a piece went right through his mitt.

But, there was no quit in the lead actor -- he said he trucked through the shot and finished the scene because they had already run through it several times and he knew this take was a good one.

Once the director called "cut" -- shoutout irony -- Gyllenhaal said he looked down at his hand and noticed his whole arm had swelled up ... and he later found out it was a staph infection.

Of course, staph can be a real pain in the ass ... but it can also be deadly in some cases if it goes untreated.

Luckily, Jakey G is still kickin' ... and he said that was really the only injury he had while filming the Prime Video flick.

Conor ain't the only big-name non-actor in the project -- Post Malone also showed off his acting chops ... and based on BTS pics, the musician got pretty bloody, too.

Jake Gyllenhaal dice que sufrió una lesión desagradable durante el rodaje de la nueva película "Road House" con Conor McGregor, revelando que se cortó la mano durante una intensa escena de lucha, y terminó con una infección por estafilococos.

El nominado al Oscar y la superestrella de la UFC se abrieron sobre el trabajo en el set durante un reciente episodio de "Armchair Expert" con Dax Shepard, y mientras que ambos elogiaron el profesionalismo del otro, hubo un poco de mala sangre involucrada.

Gyllenhaal -que interpreta al ex luchador de MMA Elwood Dalton en la película- explicó que estaba filmando un intenso enfrentamiento con el personaje de Conor -Knox- en el cual había vidrios rotos involucrados.

Resulta que no importaba si era real o falso... porque cuando Gyllenhaal puso la mano en la barra en medio de la toma, un trozo atravesó su guante.

El actor principal no se dio por vencido, y siguió adelante con la toma. Finalmente terminó la escena luego de haberla hecho varias veces.

Una vez que el director dijo "corten", Gyllenhaal dijo que miró hacia abajo y se dio cuenta de que tenía el brazo hinchado... más tarde se enteró de que estaba infectado con estafilococos.

Por supuesto, el estafilococo puede ser un verdadero dolor de cabeza, pero también puede ser mortal en algunos casos si no se trata.

Por suerte, Jakey sigue pateando, y dijo que era realmente la única lesión que tuvo durante el rodaje de la película de Prime Video.

Conor no es el único no-actor de renombre en el proyecto. Post Malone también mostró sus habilidades de actuación, y basándonos en las fotos, al músico también le tocaron escenas sangrientas.

El rey Carlos está vivo y coleando, a pesar de lo que dicen algunos medios rusos, lo que quedó demostrado luego de que su majestad fuera fotografiado alrededor del palacio.

El rey fue visto haciendo sus deberes martes el martes en Londres, lo que incluyó una reunión como anfitrión con los veteranos de la guerra de Corea en el Palacio de Buckingham. Más tarde en el día, fue visto saliendo del Castillo de Windsor.

Como se puede ver en las fotos, Chuck se ve muy entero y la razón por la que es significativo es porque varios medios y blogs de Rusia han circulado que este supuestamente falleció durante el fin de semana, algo que claramente no es cierto.

Los informes eran tan inescrupulosos que incluso atribuyeron una falsa declaración del Palacio de Buckingham que parecía anunciar su repentino fallecimiento y que se hizo viral.

La causa de muerte según estos sitios falsos se habría debido a una supuesta complicación del cáncer, y se salió tanto de control que la embajada británica en Moscú tuvo que emitir una aclaración oficial en el expediente señalando que el Rey no estaba muerto, y que muy por el contrario, estaba dedicado a sus asuntos.

El rey Carlos es solo el último miembro de la realeza que se enfrenta a teorías conspirativas. Recuerden que Kate Middleton ha estado en el punto de mira desde hace varias semanas por su repentina desaparición hasta que ella misma apareció en carne y hueso durante el fin de semana en lo que es un avistamiento obvio y claro.

La Princesa de Gales estuvo paseando el sábado, sobre sus propios pies y luciendo relativamente bien de salud, después de haber sido marginada por unos meses después de que se sometiera a una cirugía abdominal en enero. No está claro para qué fue exactamente.

En cualquier caso, ha sido sometida a un aluvión de bromas y chismes, al igual que su suegro en las últimas 48 horas.

King Charles is alive and well despite what some Russian propaganda might have some believing this week -- proven by the fact the guy was photographed out and about.

HRH was seen doing his duties Tuesday in and around the London area -- including meeting with Korean War vets at Buckingham Palace ... where he hosted and chatted with the heroes, and later in the day, swinging by Windsor Castle ... where he was spotted exiting.

As you can see by the pics ... Chuck is very much so still with us, and the reason that's significant is because several Russian media sites and blogs floated a wild story about him supposedly kicking the bucket all through the weekend -- something that clearly isn't true.

These false reports were so rampant, in fact, that a BS statement being attributed to Buckingham Palace made the rounds -- which appeared to announce his sudden passing.

The cause these fake Russian sites were referencing was cancer complication -- and it got so out of control, the British embassy in Moscow had to issue an official clarification on the record ... noting that the King was not 6 feet deep, and instead going about his business.

He's just the latest senior Royal to face wild conspiracy theories -- remember, Kate Middleton has been in the crosshairs of tinfoil hat types for several weeks now ... that is, until she surfaced herself in the flesh over the weekend in what's an obvious and clear sighting.

The Princess of Wales was out and about Saturday, walking on her own two feet and looking relatively health -- this after being sidelined for a few months following a surgery she had in January, which involved a procedure in her abdomen area. Unclear what exactly it was for.

In any case ... she's been subjected to a barrage of jokes and gossip, just as her father-in-law has in the past 48 hours.

French tennis player Arthur Cazaux suffered a terrifying health scare during his match Monday -- collapsing on the court as medics rushed to his aid.

Cazaux was waiting to return serve from Harold Mayot in the third set of their game at the Miami Open when he suddenly crumpled to the ground while the TV cameras were rolling.

Check out the video ... Cazaux was laid out on his back with his body twitching and his stiff arms pointing to the sky before they went limp.

Paramedics and the chair umpire dashed over to help Cazaux, while Mayot also came by to check on his opponent. Cazaux was eventually rolled off the court in a wheelchair.

Cazaux, who is ranked No. 74 in the world, retired from the match as he led 2-1 in the third set. Mayot and Cazaux split the first two sets, 6-4 and 7-5, respectively.

The umpire announced that Cazaux was throwing in the towel due to an illness without offering specifics.

According to weather reports, the temperatures reached the upper 80s to low 90s in Miami yesterday so that may have played a factor.

Kate Middleton se veía un poco delgada para algunos en el nuevo video de ella del fin de semana pasado, pero una gurú del fitness está de su lado y esa es Jillian Michaels.

Una de las primeras conclusiones que muchos sacaron al ver el clip de Kate y el príncipe William en el Windsor Farm Shop -a una milla de su casa- es que ella se veía un poco delgada, o más bien, más delgada de lo habitual. Kate Middleton ya es una mujer muy delgada, pero aquí podría verse aún más flaca.

Respecto a eso, Jillian le dice a TMZ que desde su perspectiva Kate se ve muy bien, tanto en términos de peso como de salud en general, sobre todo si se tiene en cuenta que pasó por el quirófano hace solo 2 meses.

En los ojos de Jillian, Kate está en su peso justo para una mujer de su tamaño y también señala que alguien que suele ser más delgado, puede perder algunos kilos al someterse a un procedimiento como el de ella y para Jillian, Kate se ve normal.

En cuanto a las especulaciones sobre su salud, su peso o cualquier otra cosa, Jillian dice que la gente tiene que calmarse y dejarla en paz porque no es de su incumbencia.

Jillian recuerda que los temas de salud son muy personales, y que dado todo el escrutinio al que ha estado sometida Kate últimamente, Jillian dice que todos necesitan perspectiva.

Sabio consejo de Jillian, pero algo nos dice que el público seguirá escudriñando cada pequeño detalle. Recuerden, antes del video que publicamos el lunes, no la habíamos visto desde diciembre, lo que es bastante tiempo.

Por supuesto, ella se sometió a una cirugía abdominal por una condición que no se ha hecho pública y el Palacio de Kensington dijo que no reanudaría sus funciones hasta por lo menos después de Pascua.

Lo que levantó las sospechas de todo el mundo respecto a su paradero y su estado de salud fue la foto que publicó para el Día de la Madre la semana pasada, la que se comprobó que había sido manipulada.

Kate Middleton came across as somewhat thin to some who saw our new video of her from this past weekend -- but she's got one fitness guru in her corner ... one Jillian Michaels.

One of the first takeaways many had upon viewing the clip of Kate and Prince William at the Windsor Farm Shop -- about a mile from her home -- was that she looked sorta skinny ... or rather, skinnier than usual. KM is already a slender woman ... but here, perhaps more so.

To that, Jillian tells TMZ ... Kate looks just fine in her eyes -- both in terms of weight and overall health ... especially when you consider she went under the knife only 2 months ago.

In JM's eyes, Kate is right where she oughta be for a woman of her general size -- even noting to us that someone who's usually a bit thinner might lose some pounds while recovering after a procedure like the one she underwent ... and to Jillian, Kate looks normal.

On the subject of speculating on Kate -- be it her health, her weight or anything else -- Jillian tells us folks need to piss off and leave her alone ... 'cause it's not their business.

She reminds us someone's health journey is very personal -- and considering the type of microscope Kate's been under lately ... Jillian says everyone needs perspective.

Sage advice from Jillian -- but something tells us the public will continue picking apart every little detail. Remember, prior to the video TMZ published Monday ... we hadn't seen her on her own two feet since December, which is quite a long time.

Of course, she underwent abdominal surgery -- for a condition that hasn't been made public -- and Kensington Palace said she wouldn't be resuming her duties until at least after Easter.

What made everyone even more suspicious of her whereabouts and well-being had a lot to do with a photo she released on Mother's Day last week ... which was proven to be doctored.

The Keith Thurman comeback has been put on hold -- the boxing star suffered a bicep injury that is forcing him to back out of his upcoming fight against Tim Tszyu.

The Boxing Voice broke the news of the ailment on Monday ... saying the 30-1 welterweight fighter was getting an MRI for a possible arm injury that could put his March 30 bout against Tszyu in jeopardy.

The fight is still a go ... but without Thurman -- ESPN Ringside's Mike Coppinger reported Tszyu will now defend his WBO junior middleweight title against Sebastian Fundora (20-1) instead.

This is unfortunate news for Thurman, who would've stepped in the ring for the first time in over two years ... and he previously said it was a chance to prove he's not washed.

"I believe boxing needs Keith Thurman. I really deliver some of the greatest entertainment on that world-class scene every time they put me in the ring," Thurman told us earlier this month.

"My haters are my real motivators!" So keep hatin' baby, and I'ma keep pushing."

Thurman also told us he was gunnin' for a knockout ... and his win against Tszyu would've been an opportunity to get closer to a match with Terence Crawford.

Tallulah Willis dice que tiene autismo, y no se enteró hace mucho.

La hija de Bruce Willis compartió la noticia con sus más de 400K seguidores de Instagram el viernes, cuando escribió junto a un video de ella y su padre: "Dime que eres autista sin decirme que eres autista".

En las imágenes reaparecidas, se puede ver a Tallulah frotando la cabeza calva de su padre una y otra vez mientras daba una entrevista en la alfombra roja. La hermana mayor de Tallulah, Scout, respondió al video diciendo que la actriz está "stimming" en el clip.

Para aquellos que no lo saben, "stimming" se define como la realización repetitiva de un determinado movimiento físico, y es un comportamiento común entre las personas con autismo.

Esta es la primera vez que Tallulah habla sobre tener autismo, y explicó que se enteró durante el verano... y asegura que la noticia le cambió la vida.

Esta revelación se produce un mes después de que Tallulah diera una actualización sincera con respecto a su recuperación de un trastorno alimentario. Tallulah se abrió por primera vez sobre sus luchas con la anorexia en mayo de 2023.

Nueve meses después, la hija de Bruce con su exmujer Demi Moore confesó que estaba "idealizando tiempos poco saludables" y quiso compartir la actualización para sentirse menos sola. Se animó a sí misma y a sus seguidores a recordar que está bien no tenerlo todo resuelto.

Además del viaje de salud de Tallulah, la familia Willis se ha unido en torno a Bruce después de su diagnóstico de demencia frontotemporal. La esposa de Bruce -con quien comparte a sus hijas Mabel y Evelyn- dijo en septiembre que no está claro lo que el actor sabe sobre su enfermedad.

Leighton Vander Esch is retiring at just 28 years old -- the Dallas Cowboys linebacker announced he is unable to return to the football field after his latest neck injury.

The team shared the news on Monday ... days after the former first round pick was released with a failed physical designation.

The All-Pro and Pro Bowler dropped a statement on the news ... saying, "I love the game of football so much, and my body won't cooperate any longer."

"I cherished every moment of my NFL career, and it has been such a blessing to play the game for as long as I have played."

Vander Esch was solid for the Cowboys D on the field ... but his six-year career was unfortunately riddled with injuries, including the neck ailment he suffered back in October that ended his 2023 season.

Jerry Jones spoke highly of LVE ... saying, "Seldom do you come across a player like Leighton, who grew up playing eight-man football only to first play the 11-man game at the major collegiate level and excel."

"His passion and love for the game was contagious, and from the moment he arrived, he has been a difference maker. His grit, toughness, motivation, determination and football IQ will be sorely missed. Leighton also embodied the strong character and personal qualities that make him much more than an accomplished player."

LVE finishes his career with 557 tackles ... including 176 in his first season alone, a franchise record for a rookie.

Tallulah Willis reveals she was diagnosed with autism -- something she says she came to learn fairly recently.

Bruce Willis' daughter shared the news with her over 400K Instagram followers on Friday ... as she wrote alongside a throwback video of herself and her A-list father, “Tell me you're autistic without telling me you're autistic."

In the resurfaced footage, Tallulah can be seen rubbing her dad's bald head over and over again as he gave a red-carpet interview. Tallulah's older sister Scout responded to the video by saying the actress is "stimming" in the clip.

For those who may not know ... stimming is defined as the repetitive performance of a certain physical movement -- and is a common behavior in autistic individuals.

This is the first time Tallulah has discussed her diagnosis, which she explained she found out about over the summer ... something she says changed her life.

This revelation comes a month after Tallulah gave a candid update regarding her recovery from an eating disorder. Tallulah first opened up about her struggles with anorexia back in May 2023.

Nine months later, Bruce's daughter with ex-wife Demi Moore confessed she was "romanticizing unhealthy times" and wanted to share the update in order to feel less alone. She encouraged herself and her followers to remember that it is ok to not have everything figured out.

In addition to Tallulah's health journey, the Willis family has been rallying around Bruce after his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis. Bruce's wife -- with whom he shares daughters Mabel and Evelyn -- said in September that it's unclear what the actor knows about his condition.

Mark Coleman has been released from the hospital after nearly dying in a huge house fire last week ... the UFC legend provided an update to his many fans just days after saving his mom and dad.

"God is great 👊❤️🙏," the 59-year-old retired fighter said on Monday via IG video caption, writing, "I am healing up very well."

"My lungs are sore. My eyes are burnt but I’m very much alive and well. I feel so blessed it’s in my higher power's hands. He wants me to move forward today and I am."

Coleman -- who was hospitalized with smoke inhalation after saving his parents from a house fire in Toledo, Ohio, early Tuesday morning -- thanked all his fans for their prayers, especially for his late dog, Hammer, who sadly perished in the blaze.

Mark also said he hopes the incident encourages people to make the most of life ... before it's too late.

"I'm one of the luckiest men in the world," the UFC Hall of Famer said.

"I can't thank you enough. I'm just grateful. I'll continue to motivate people to move forward and be a better version of themselves. You never know when you're gonna need it, so let's go. Let's start today. Tomorrow's not promised. Get moving!"

BTW, his loyal fans stepped up in a big way, including financially, making over 2,600 donations to a GoFundMe to help with medical expenses ... raising over $121k!
