Wanderlei Silva was a victim of a hit-and-run accident in Curitiba on Wednesday night.

The former Pride middleweight champion was hit by a car when he was riding a bicycle on his way home after a training session. Silva will need shoulder and knee surgery, but the situation could have been even worse.

"I’m extreme in everything I do. Everybody says that bicycle was dangerous, and I believed that the right of coming and going was the same for everyone, cars, bikes and people, but I felt that it’s not exactly like that," Silva posted on his social media.
