Hughes a class act all the way hope this is not as severe as it sounds

BIGDAY · 06-16-17, 04:08 PM

Yeah.

I was out of town on a fishing trip and asked Chicka to go to the Mall of America book signing about 10 years ago. Lol Anyway, asked her to ask him to face off. She's like, "no one else is". I said just see if he will. Needless to say, he got up went a ways down and took the shot with her. Then talked for a couple minutes with her. She said he was genuine.

I hope he is Ok sounds pretty serious though. It said he was helping a friend too when it happened so he was a good guy.

There's been reports that he's in stable condition. Let's all hope that's true!

Former UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes has been airlifted to a medical facility after the truck he was in collided with a moving train Friday, UFC president Dana White told ESPN.White said he's been in contact with Hughes' family, and that they are currently en route to the medical facility where the 43-year-old was taken."Apparently he has head trauma," White said. "His family is traveling to him now."White did not know exactly where the accident took place. He said Hughes, who lives in Illinois, was apparently helping a friend when the accident occurred

nice pic...it looks like he'll survive ("country boy can survive!")

Brain and spinal cord injury is the final frontier in medicine

Not sure I agree 100%

Brain and SCI are certainly the next frontier, but who knows what the true final frontier is. Brain may be it but in ways we don't even understand yet. AI is going to change medicine in ways we cannot fathom

Interesting topic nonetheless

Some of the stuff that is being worked on is mind numbing. I know the Microsoft Azure team is currently working with a biomed team that takes a DNA sample of a person and Azure will process it and put that persons entire genome in a zipped file and give it to the person

Individualizing treatment based on genome is going to be huge

JIBBBY · 06-20-17, 12:24 AM

Damn that sucks

...

I hope that Country boy will survive...

True Kraken, the ability to simulate proteins and produce combinations like never before is on it's way.

If and when quantum computing gets involved, cures for the tough diseases will be found.

Unreal what's on the horizon.

Matt was still unresponsive as of yesterday.

Any updates?

Still unresponsive.. Usually they put you an a induced coma to reduce swelling on the brain, or even sometimes open the skull to relieve pressure.. That could be going on with Matt Hughes?

He had a pretty hard head in MMA, I think he'll pull through.. https://www.mmamania.com/2017/6/18/1...l-injuries-mma
