Conor McGregor says knowing how to land « saved my life » after revealing he was hit by a car while out cycling on his bike.
The Irish mixed martial artist and UFC great posted a picture on social media of his bike in the middle of the road.
« Got a bang of a car just now from behind, » McGregor wrote on his Instagram page.
« A sun trap, the driver couldn’t see me. Full speed straight thru me.
« Thank you God, it wasn’t my time. Thank you wrestling and judo also.
« Having an awareness on the landing saved my life. »
McGregor, the first fighter to hold UFC championships in two weight classes simultaneously, has not fought since suffering a serious leg injury in July 2021 in the second of back-to-back defeats to Dustin Poirier.
But the 34-year-old has worked his way back to fitness and is expected to return to the octagon at some point this year.
