Ben Askren's health has recently shown minor improvements, offering a glimmer of hope to his family and fans.
However, the former MMA fighter may require a lung transplant due to complications from a severe staph infection.
Askren, hospitalized earlier this month, has reportedly opened his eyes and squeezed hands, indicating some responsiveness.
He's been moved to a Wisconsin hospital, closer to family, for continued monitoring and potential transplant surgery.
