“Gotta Be Careful the Next Time I Workout” – UFC World Horrified With ‘Holes’ in Late Champion Kevin Randleman’s Resurfaced Photo During Staph Infection Treatment

Combat sports come with their fair share of hassles as well. Apart from injuries, the combat sports world also packs the risk of getting infected with bacterial infections. Although most of them don’t pose any severe threat if treated right from the beginning, things can get really horrible if they are ignored. They can even pose life threats once they have spread out to uncontrollable amounts.

The late former UFC Heavyweight champion, Kevin Randleman, was subjected to such an ill fate due to a staph infection. The infection had leaked into his bloodstream, making it a serious case. He ignored the initial stage and was hospitalized when the infection had already turned septic. Parts of his lateral and pectoral muscles had to be removed in order to eliminate the infection.

Recently, a snap of Randleman was posted on Reddit, which showcased the gaping holes left in the spots from where his muscles had to be removed. The post garnered some terrified comments from the users.

The holes in Kevin Randleman’s body disgusted and horrified fans

The horrific snap of Randleman in the Reddit post also came with a caption. It read, “Staph infection on Kevin Randleman, former UFC Champion”.

The fans had a lot to know about the reason behind such a horrible condition. But the post garnered even more terrified comments from the users.

One of them wrote, “That’s scary. Also… really gotta be careful the next time I workout at a gym. Thanks”.

Another commented, “Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. They’re scary”.

One more comment read, “THATS A FU**ING HOLE!!!!JRIEIVNEIEJEJRJR F**K!”. It was apparent that the picture shockingly horrified the last user.

A user got so terrified that she tried bringing up the name of ‘Trypophobia’ by writing, “Tryphobia? I didn’t look up how to spell it, but this just sent tingles around my face and across my body. Unfortunately seeing gaps like that on the body”.

Another user expressed the desire to quit Reddit writing, “Yea im loggin the f**k off. Yall broke me early. F**k this s**t”.

Some fans turned to spread knowledge to avoid such infections

Even amid all the fears, some fans took up the responsibility to spread awareness; so that others could avoid being infected.

One such user wrote, “These infections are common in hospitals, nursing homes, contact sports, homeless people, and among anyone with poor hygiene. Hand washing, hand sanitizer, and good hygiene are the best ways to avoid all infections.”

Another one gave important advice stating, “You should always take the entire course of prescribed antibiotics”.

A lot of other users were also ignorant of the fact that Randleman had already passed away in 2016. Some fans also said that major staph infections don’t leave the person similar to before; even after healing completely. Maybe that horrible staph infection didn’t leave Randleman similar to what he was earlier; resulting in his untimely demise.
