The UFC champion, Conor McGregor, lived an experience that for many can be traumatic while practicing sports on Friday. McGregor suffered a run over when he was riding a bicycle, although, luckily, the fighter has not suffered serious injuries as he himself has confirmed on social networks, where he has shared images of how his bike was left after the incident.
The MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) star was struck from behind while riding a bicycle. The driver of the vehicle, which according to McGregor himself, was driving at high speed, would have been blinded by the sun, something that can be confirmed in the images and video of the publication that accompanies these lines.

“Thank God, it was not my time. Thanks to wrestling and judo too. Knowing how to land saved my life ”, says Conor McGregor himself in his Instagram post.
In the last video of McGregor’s publication we can see that the driver of the car, a silver Ford Mondeo, is in charge of taking the fighter and his bicycle back home. “God bless you. I’m screwed, but I’m still here”, says ‘The Notorius’.
Hours later, the UFC champion shows in a second publication the consequences of the hit-and-run. In the second video we see that he has torn his shorts in the fall, and in the photo you can see how his physique has been, with a cut in the hip area.
This was the only injury McGregor suffered in the hit-and-run. Other athletes who were involved in accidents while riding a bicycle did not suffer the same fate, as is the case of Nicky Hayden, MotoGP World Champion rider, who lost his life in a similar accident that occurred in Italy in May 2017.
