Liam McCracken’s near-death experience
Liam McCracken was a 6-1 fighter on the rise when disaster struck in September 2023.
The 25-year-old got hit by a bus and dragged 60 feet down the road while out on a run.
McCracken suffered a broken neck, legs, ribs, pelvis, and nose during the accident that threatened to end his MMA career.
A GoFundMe was set up, raising over £35,000 for the fighter, who was left unable to walk for a period of time.
Three years and three wins later, McCracken is about to fight in front of Dana White in Las Vegas.
An impressive victory should secure the proud father of one a chance to continue his UFC career.
