According to Sonnen, after Couture went to the hospital, the doctors immediately admitted him to ICU and informed him that he had some kind of blood clotting. When Couture was asked by the doctor to scale the level of pain he was in after treatment, Couture replied:- 2 out of 10 and when he was asked to scale the pain he was going through while he had the heart attack, Couture said it was a 4, something that caught Couture’s friend Jay Glazer by surprise who watch everything went down at the gym.
Reportedly, Randy Couture is feeling better after the treatment. However, it’s hard to imagine someone trying to finish his work out while going through a severe heart attack. Then again if someone can do that then it has to be the UFC legend, Randy Couture.
