Sean Strickland recounts horrific motorcycle accident and how he refused to let the injuries end his career

As Sean Strickland woke up in a haze, he saw a police officer and a group of doctors standing over him.

The UFC veteran had no memory of how he got there but he was laying in a hospital bed when the cop told him that he had been in a serious motorcycle accident. Before he could really wrap his head around that statement, doctors were telling Strickland that he was being admitted for emergency surgery to repair massive damage done to his leg.

“I left some of my kneecap on the road,” Strickland revealed when recounting the accident with MMA Fighting ahead of his return at UFC Vegas 12.
