UFC fighter Shane del Rosario in critical condition in Newport

UFC heavyweight fighter Shane del Rosario is in critical condition at Hoag Hospital after suffering a reported heart attack in his Newport Beach home.

Rosario, 30, arrived at the hospital late Tuesday in full cardiac arrest and was revived in the emergency room, his manager Jason House confirmed via Twitter on Wednesday.

“He was resuscitated in the emergency room back to a stable heart rhythm and blood pressure,” he wrote. “He is currently in the coronary care unit critically ill. Our prayers are with him and his family.”

Del Rosario trains at Team Oyama, a gym in Irvine. His trainer could not be reached for comment.

“We’re hoping to learn more tonight,” House told the Daily Pilot on Wednesday afternoon.

Del Rosario competes in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, which features mixed martial arts.
