Woke up and read this, saw absolutely nothing about it on the forums. Shows how short your time in this sport is.

I'd like to send my thoughts and prayers to Fedor and his family, he is easily one of the greatest fighters ever. For newer fans, you missed out. This guy took on everyone, and could have been a 205 pounder. He's gonna beat this.

I hope he recovers and best wishes to him. To all those suffering from Covid-19, and those affected by it, I hope you the best.

He is one of the greatest heavyweights in MMA history.

Come on guys, he's in the hospital and that is definitely not good. Let's get some support in here.

From what I read he is in the hospital but doing well. I hope that is accurate and he recovers quickly

He is an icon of MMA several other martial arts individually and a great man!
Wish him the best and all those suffering most from shutdowns but many sick too.
Not seen mentioned but MMA fighter, UFC alum Paul Varelans is also suffering from Covid.
Prayers and best wishes to all.

I hope what @FistyMcKickerChoke said is accurate. Hopefully he can overcome this horrible virus.

Oh damn Paul was a helluva guy, I only communicated with him on Facebook and Instagram since he moved out of state truly sad.
