Actress and longtime girlfriend of the UFC hall of famer, Mindy Robinson, also apparently suffered minor injuries in the incident. Couture is reportedly expected to make a full recovery.
Randy Couture has reportedly ended up back in the hospital after suffering an injury while riding an ATV on his ranch in Flagstaff, AZ. The former two-division UFC champion made headlines late last year when he walked himself to the hospital after suffering a heart attack in the middle of a workout.
TMZ reports that Couture suffered rib and shoulder injuries in this latest incident, and would undergo surgery on Tuesday afternoon. He is expected to make a full recovery.
Also involved in the ATV crash was Couture’s longtime girlfriend Mindy Robinson. The actress and recent Republican congressional candidate is reported to have only suffered minor injuries.
People magazine spoke to Couture’s manager, Sam Spira, who confirmed TMZ’s story.
“As a result of the accident, later today, Randy will be having some orthopedic surgery. He (and Mindy) are expected to make a full recovery.”
Alongside his ongoing TV and film work, Couture has most recently been a regular part of the broadcast team for the Professional Fighters League, working the booth alongside Sean O’Connell and Yves Edwards.
