UFC featherweight Lerone Murphy hospitalized after ‘another near-death experience’

Lerone Murphy was hospitalized on Tuesday after being hit by a car while cycling.

The undefeated UFC featherweight shared a photo of himself in the hospital with his head wrapped in bandages. He explained that he suffered a ‘nasty head wound’ and waited nearly an hour for medical assistance after the scary accident, which led to him almost bleeding out on the scene.

“Ffs I can’t catch a break,” wrote Murphy on Instagram. “Another near death experience. Yesterday while cycling, an oncoming car turned right without looking and we collided at speed. Which caused a nasty head wound.
