In May, former UFC fighter Ben Askren was healthy and had plans for the rest of the year. Those plans did not include fighting of his life for months in the hospital and undergoing a life changing double lung transplant surgery, but that’s the hand life dealt him. The 41 year-old doesn’t remember anything from May 28 util July 2 but survived. After 59 days, he was released from the hospital only to be re-admitted days later with an infection. Throughout the harrowing ordeal, Askren and his family have provided regular updates on his condition and recovery
