Ric Flair reveals he received new pacemaker, had blood clot removed

Ric Flair has shared the reason behind his recent hospitalization.

In an interview with TMZ Sports, the 70-year-old said he underwent surgery to have a new pacemaker inserted.

"This is the fourth time I've been in (the hospital) in seven weeks ... they finally figured out what type of pacemaker to put on me, which I found out just how important the operation of your heart is," Flair said. "You can't breathe if your heart's not working."

Flair also revealed that doctors removed a blood clot he was previously unaware about.

"I feel great," he said. "The prognosis is I could live to be 95."
