June 17, 2017 | Posted by
According to mmajunkie.com, Matt Hughes’ longtime manager, Monte Cox revealed today that Hughes is currently awake and responsive less than 24 hours after he was reportedly in a coma.
“His eyes are closed, but he is awake today and squeezing hands.”
Hughes was airlifted Friday morning to HSHS St. John’s Hospital in Springfield, Ill., after Hughes’ truck reportedly crossed a track and was struck on the passenger side by an oncoming train. Initial reports claimed that Hughes had suffered a collapsed lung and was in a medically induced coma because of a brain bleed. But Hughes apparently made a quick turnaround this morning and is now responsive.
