The wife of the famous ex-Bellator and UFC fighter Ben Askren, Amy Askren, gave an update on her husband's current health condition.
Amy Askren
His body can't handle coming off sedation too much yet. I'm still praying for a miracle with his current lungs, but they are currently starting the evaluation process for a lung transplant. Give your loved ones a hug today and make sure you're prepared (for) situations like this. Ben is the healthiest guy I know and I never could have expected this.
Earlier it was reported that Askren was taken to the hospital in critical condition with severe staph infection and pneumonia.
Askren, 40, had his last fight against the famous blogger Jake Paul under the boxing rules. In this fight, Ben was defeated by knockout in the first round. Askren has 19 wins and two losses in MMA, and one fight was ruled a no-contest.
