UFC legend Randy Couture was rushed into surgery following a horror crash with his girlfriend Mindy Robinson.

The accident comes after 57-year-old Couture suffered a heart attack during a workout in Los Angeles last October.

TMZ first reported the news of the retired UFC fighter's crash, which occurred on his ranch just outside of Flagstaff, Arizona.

In a tweet, conservative activist and political commentator Mindy, 40, confirmed both her and Couture's injuries.

She wrote: "We had a little accident on the ranch.

"I fractured my transversal processor so I can’t move my lower back, and Randy broke his shoulder and 4 ribs.

"It could have been worse so I’m thankful. Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers."

Couture’s manager Sam Spira, provided the following statement to MMA Junkie: “Randy Couture and his girlfriend Mindy were involved in a Quad accident late last night on his ranch.

"As a result of the accident, later today, Randy will be having some orthopaedic surgery.  He (and Mindy) are expected to make a full recovery.”
