UFC Hall Of Famer Randy Couture gave the mixed martial arts (MMA) community a scare when he suffered a heart attack earlier this month.

Couture didn’t feel quite right after a recent workout, and actually walked himself to the hospital before he was diagnosed with, and treated for, a heart attack. Thankfully Couture is back home and says things are back to normal. He is taking all the necessary precautions to avoid another heart attack and will be getting checked up regularly moving forward.

Speaking to “The Ariel Helwani MMA Show” earlier this month, Couture said, had he arrived 30 or 40 minutes later, it would’ve been a very different outcome. (H/T MMA Junkie)

“I was lucky I came in when I came in,” Couture said. “If I had waited another 30 or 40 minutes, it would’ve been a different outcome … Any time something like that happens, it certainly gets your attention

“… To have a heart attack was strange. It just chips away at your identity a little bit. Who you are. Who you thought you were. I’m certainly happy to be back, up, and running. I’m feeling a lot more normal. A lot more like myself.”

Couture is one of the biggest legends in the history of the sport. He was the first-ever fighter to win a title in two different weight classes at light heavyweight and heavyweight. Couture is also one of the first of many legends from the UFC’s early rise to fame. Thankfully, “The Natural” is still alive and going strong.

What do you make of Couture’s comments on his heart attack?

Former two-weight UFC champion Randy Couture has provided a positive update following his recent heart attack scare.

“The Natural” was hospitalized late last month after he felt something wasn’t right with his body after a workout. It was later determined that he actually suffered a heart attack as he was put in intensive care soon after. Afterwards, it was revealed that thick blood and a nominally high level of bad cholesterol caused a clot in Couture’s diagonal artery.

However, a couple of a weeks since the incident and the 56-year-old feels good ahead of a second follow-up scheduled for later this week:

“Everything’s great, man,” Couture told TMZ (via BJ Penn). “I feel amazing. I should have thinned this blood out a long time ago, I guess.

“Second follow-up on Friday. Everything’s normal, back to normal. So I gotta stay on top of the thick blood. Gotta give blood on a regular basis. Unfortunately, they have to throw my blood away because I was stationed in Germany in the 80s. That’s just the way it is.”

Couture is one of the biggest legends in the sport of mixed martial arts as well as the promotion’s first-ever two-division champion, having conquered the light heavyweight and heavyweight division.

Hopefully, things continue to look positive for his health.

It looks like Greg Hardy received quite the pep talk before his UFC Moscow co-main event this past weekend. Hardy met Alexander Volkov in Russia on Saturday afternoon, but couldn’t get the job done, losing via decision.

Prior to the fight, however, Hardy received a Cameo video message from UFC Hall Of Famer Randy Couture, wishing Hardy good luck before his fight. Cameo is a service in which fans can buy personalized shoutout messages from their favorite celebrities.

Couture is one of several names in mixed martial arts (MMA) who provide the service. In his video, Couture wished Hardy good luck against Volkov, commended him on fighting for the fifth time this year, and joked about his previous inhaler use.

Check it out here:

Couture is just getting over a heart attack that he suffered late last month. The incident occurred after a workout at his gym. Couture then walked himself to the hospital where he was treated immediately. He released the following statement shortly after.

“Contrary to recent rumors, I have not kicked the bucket yet,” Couture wrote. “I am alive and well. Special thanks to the amazing staff at Cedars Sinai Hospital. From the ER to cardiac ICU thanks for taking care of me.

“I’m one of those people that has crazy thick blood and nominally high bad cholesterol. Unfortunately, those 2 factors combined to create a nice clot including my diagonal artery. The (catheterization laboratory) at Cedars got right on it, cleared it out and placed a stent in its place.

“Thanks to all of you out there expressing your concern. Your love and support mean the world to me and my family. Live your lives to the fullest. You never know when you’ll draw that last breath in!”
