Wanderlei Silva was hit by a car while riding his bicycle in Curitiba, Brazil, on Wednesday night.
In an interview with Tribuna, the former PRIDE champion revealed he suffered a fracture on his right foot and was left with abrasions on his face. The man offered help and drove Silva to the hospital.
“I could even have died if I wasn’t wearing a helmet,” Silva told the newspaper. “People have to be more careful in traffic. It’s hard to ride bikes in Curitiba.”
This is not the first time Silva was hit by a car in his hometown.
