Conor McGregor was hit by a car while riding his bike, but it seems the UFC superstar escaped without significant harm. The incident took place in Ireland.
The 34-year-old fighter documented the aftermath of a car hitting his bike on Instagram in pictures and a video after the driver was unable to see him in the road because of the sun reflecting back in his eyes.

“Got a bang of a car just now from behind,” Conor McGregor wrote. “A sun trap, the driver couldn’t see me. Full speed straight through me. Thank you God, it wasn’t my time. Thank you wrestling and judo also. Having an awareness on the landing saved my life.”
After being pushed off his bike, Conor McGregor was heard saying to the driver in the video, “All good, don’t worry about it,” adding, “I could have been dead there.”
The driver ultimately gave McGregor a ride home while loading his bike into the trunk of his vehicle, with the former two-division UFC champion exclaiming, “I’m still here, thank God.”
Since he frequently publishes videos while riding, bike training has been a consistent component of McGregor’s exercises for several years.
Although Conor McGregor was thrown from his bike by the car, he seemed to escape major injury from this particular occurrence, but it undoubtedly gave him a scare.
