He said his knowledge of MMA saved his life

The Notorious  posted a picture of the aftermath of the crash on Instagram.

He also revealed how his knowledge of MMA “saved his life” and he “could have been dead”.

McGregor wrote: “Got a bang of a car just now from behind.

“A sun trap, the driver couldn’t see me. Full speed straight through me.

“Thank you God, it wasn’t my time.

“Thank you wrestling and judo also. Having an awareness on the landing saved my life.”

In a video, the Irishman is heard telling the driver he is “all good” as the motorist says he is “totally sorry”.

McGregor is then heard saying: “That’s nasty. I could have been dead there.”

He shows the camera that his pants have been ripped from skidding along the tarmac.

The driver, nick, then gives McGregor and his bike a lift home.

Fans and friends rushed to the comments to tell of their shock.

Filmmaker Garrett Warren wrote: “That’s a proper stunt adjustment right there.

“I wonder how fast he was going? The car seemed far away when it stopped so had to be a good speed.

“That’s amazing! Love the nod to GOD so much.”

Another fan joked: “That driver looks terrified, he thought you were gonna swing off on him.”

A third added: “Imagine cleaning someone off their bike and then realising it’s McGregor.”

It comes after the UFC star broke his leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier 18 months ago.

He has undergone a painstaking rehab to get himself back fighting fit and is now in talks with the UFC brass over a big-money return.

The crash follows the news McGregor is being probed by cops after a woman claimed he attacked her in Ibiza.
