Ben Askren continues to make slow and steady progress after recently being hospitalized due to pneumonia.
His wife, Amy Askren, gave a positive update on the UFC veteran’s condition in a Facebook post on Tuesday. At the time Askren was under evaluation for a lung transplant, but there has also been positive progress in that regard.
"As of late last night, Ben is officially on the transplant list. Please pray he can get stronger and stay stable without complications while he waits, and that they find an amazing match for him and he accepts it smoothly,” Amy wrote.
