After
being admitted in the hospital and was in an intensive care due to heart failure,
Randy Couture was reportedly moved out from the ICU but will stay in the
medical facility to make a full recovery.
"Yes, Randy had a
heart attack yesterday, it’s an issue with him having naturally but unusually
thick blood.".."We’ve been in the hospital for tests and observation
and he is recovering well. He has and always will be...the toughest man I
know." – Mindy
Robinson (Randy’s girlfriend)
Following
a workout at the Unbreakable Performance Center in Los Angeles on Wednesday, the
56 year-old Couture complained “feeling off” and walked himself in the hospital
situated nearby.
The
mix martial arts legend stepped away from the octagon in 2007 after various
disputes with the organization (UFC) over fighter’s pay and image rights
(declined to fight Fedor Emilianenko the same year).
But He then decided to return the following
year and had faced Brock Lesnar for a heavyweight title (UFC 91).
“The
Natural” legitimately retired from the competitive sport in 2011 but up to this
day, he continues to get himself involve in the activity covering numerous mma
bouts.
Randy
Couture is a fighter’s advocate and presently working as a color commentator
for Professional Fighters League.
