Ben Askren, the former UFC and Bellator star, is currently in a medically induced coma due to pneumonia. Recently, he was moved to a hospital closer to his home in Wisconsin. His wife, Amy Askren, shared updates indicating some responsiveness when sedation levels were reduced, but choices surrounding a lung transplant further emphasize the severity of his condition. Amy expressed hope for a miracle while communicating the challenges posed by his health situation, urging fans to support Ben during this difficult time.
"I haven't shared an update because Ben has been in limbo for a while and I was hoping to have him wake up and be the one to decide what to share."
"...on the good, they have been able to wean his sedation enough for him to open his eyes and squeeze hands. His body can't handle coming off sedation too much yet."
