The former UFC fighter, Randy Couture, required a medical transfer to a burns center on Tuesday.
Emergency transport to a Kansas City Burning Center occurred shortly after MMA’s legend suffered what TMZ Sports reported as first and second grade burns, trauma and inhalation lesions of smoke after an accident on a racing track.

It is not clear what the wreck caused. Couture’s vehicle seemed to suffer important damage from the accident. Until Wednesday, Couture remains in the burning center. It is not believed that their wounds are potentially mortal.

Last month, Couture shared his enthusiasm for the opportunity to take to the track in 2025.
“It is a completely different animal,” Couture said during an appearance in the “Bubba The Love sponge show.” “Sitting in the stands, it seems easy. They say: ‘Oh, he leaves fast.’ But there is much more involved.”

“This is a new way of tickling in that competitive spirit that I have had most of my life; a new place for me to be competitive and leave a mark on the races,” Couture added. “I will bring all the things I developed as a martial fighter and artist to this kingdom and I will see what we can do. I have no idea how it will go, but I am excited about opportunities.”
Couture finished his MMA career with a 19-11 record. Couture obtained titles in the Divisions of semi -struggle and heavyweight of UFC during his outstanding race. He retired in 2011.
