A successful operation for Takada. 

Taking to his Instagram, former mixed martial artist and IWGP Heavyweight Champion Nobuhiko Takada shared that he underwent heart ablation surgery.

Since August 2022, he had been dealing with an irregular heart beat. He was navigating it with the help of medication. Although he had the required medication on hand, the stress was weighing on him and it led him to getting the surgery.

He recommended the operation to those having similar issues. 

Takada is 62 years of age. His MMA and pro wrestling experiences took him to PRIDE Fighting Championships, New Japan Pro-Wrestling, UWF and HUSTLE.
