Just months after Ben Askren was hospitalized with a severe staph infection that led to life-threatening pneumonia and ultimately a double lung transplant ... the former UFC star is back doing what he loves, posting a video of himself hitting the wrestling mats!
Askren shared the video to his social media on Thursday, showing him lacing up a fresh pair of wrestling shoes and getting some training in.
"4 months ago I was on my deathbed," Askren wrote.
