Cris Lencioni’s wife, Marca Lencioni, took to Instagram to announce Cris experienced a cardiac arrest during training.
The rising MMA fighter Cris Lencioni, who competes in Bellator, is reportedly in a coma ahead of his much-awaited fight against James Gallagher.
The Bellator 298 event is scheduled to take place at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, USA, on August 11, 2023.
But during his training for the fight, Cris experienced a cardiac arrest. And now he is currently fighting his biggest battle in the ICU.
As soon as Cris was seen having a cardiac arrest at the gym, other athletes there quickly called 911 and provided all they could to keep his consciousness under control before the paramedics arrived.
His wife, Marca, shared a post thanking all the fans for their continuous support and asked them to keep the Lencioni family in their thoughts.

Cris’ family has also started a gofundme page and targeted raising $250,000 so that the MMA fighter could get proper care in the intensive care unit.
