UFC star Conor McGregor was out for a leisurely bike ride on Friday when he was struck by a car traveling at “full speed.”
The 34-year-old former two-division champion took to social media to share video of the aftermath. McGregor, who appeared to be shaken up by the incident, said he was hit from behind by the vehicle.
“Thank you wrestling and judo also. Having an awareness on the landing saved my life. God bless … I’m still here. Thank God. That’s all that matters.”
Luckily McGregor was able to avoid any serious injuries.
McGregor (22-6) has been recovering from a brutal leg injury suffered in his loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. McGregor is aiming for a comeback this year and has recently suggested he has been contacted for a coaching role on the next season of The Ultimate Fighter.
