A country boy can survive, indeed.

UFC legend Matt Hughes was on the mats appearing to be able to train a bit of Brazilian jiu-jitsu just two months after being seriously injured in a truck-train crash in Illinois. Hughes’ friend Tony Zucca posted the incredible video on his Instagram page Monday night.

“I leave for only five days and come back to his ass wanting (and able) to roll!” Yucca wrote. “Unbelievable!”

Hughes, 43, was driving a truck over train tracks in Raymond, Ill., on June 16, when the incoming train struck the truck on the passenger side.
