Bellator MMA star Cris Lencioni suffered a cardiac arrest during a training session and is currently in an intensive care unit.
Lencioni, 28, hasn't fought in close to two years but is scheduled to make his return against James Gallagher at Bellator 298 in August. The fighter's health scare occurred earlier this month whilst at a new gym he was training at. Lencioni's wife issued a statement on his behalf and admitted the fighter is currently in "uncharted territory"
"On [June 8] there was an incident while Cris was training, and he experienced a cardiac arrest. The athletes at the gym were great and immediately called 911 and did their best to address his needs until paramedics arrived. We are currently in another state. He has been under the care of excellent doctors with I and much of his family by his side," she wrote.
