Former UFC welterweight champion and UFC hall-of-famer Matt Hughes was recently involved in an auto accident when a train struck his truck, sending him to the local hospital in a helicopter.
In the coming days the world would learn that the life-long athlete and living legend had suffered a traumatic brain injury.
To this day nothing has become public about how Matt ended up on those train tracks at the same time as a speeding train, but he’s on the road to recovery, and that’s all we can ask for.
In the first video since the accident, Hughes is seen honoring the nurses who helped bring him back to health.
