Conor McGregor is run over while riding his bike; ‘It wasn’t my time’ – El Financiero

Irish fighter Conor McGregor got quite a scare this weekend after he was hit by a car while cycling through the streets of his native Ireland.

McGregor was out riding his bike for a few miles on Friday afternoon when he was surprised by a motorist, who was unaware of his presence due to the bright sunlight, and ran over him.

Through a live broadcast on social networks, the UFC mixed martial arts fighter recounted the accident he had with the motorist and showed the severe injury to one of his buttocks and his bicycle lying on the pavement. The man who ran over him took him to his house.

“I just got hit by a car from behind. A sun trap, the driver couldn’t see me. At full speed he ran through me. Thank God it was not my time. Thanks, wrestling and judo too; having a conscience on landing saved my life,” McGregor explained.

‘The Notorious’ has not fought since 2021, when he lost two consecutive times against Dustin Poirier. The Irishman plans to return to the rings this year after recovering from a long injury.
