GLORY kickboxer Chris Trammel in serious condition
It all started with a serious staph infection. Then, Chris Trammel was in what seemed to be a benign scooter accident. Now, though, the kickboxer is in serious condition.
GLORY kickboxer Chris Trammel is out of intensive care now, but not out of the woods. His girlfriend and Invicta fighter Maureen Riordon said he is much more comfortable and “happier” in the normal ward than in ICU.
It all started with a serious staph infection. Then, Chris Trammel was in what seemed at the time to be a benign scooter accident. Now, though, the GLORY kickboxer is in serious condition at a hospital in Thailand without many answers as to how or why.
The good news is that Trammel was moved out of intensive care this weekend, according to his girlfriend and Invicta fighter Maureen Riordon. The bad news is that Trammel continues to bleed from his lungs and kidneys and doctors are struggling to figure out how to stop it.
“They still haven’t discovered the cause of the bleeding from his lungs so I’m unclear what that will mean procedurally or financially,” Riordon told MMA Fighting via email from Phuket. “Once the bleeding stops everywhere he will remain in the hospital a few more days for observation and then will be allowed to leave.
However, he won’t be considered fit to fly for 14 days after release from the hospital.”

Trammel and Riordon traveled to Thailand on a training trip Oct. 12. They planned on leaving to return home to Boulder, Colo., this weekend. It’s unclear now how long they will have to stay in Thailand and also what further operations Trammel will need. Riordon has set up a gofundme.com page for donations from the public. It is already nearing the $40,000 goal, but the actual costs of everything — from medical care to lodging to the delayed trip home — are not yet fully known.
