“It’s no fun learning how to walk again. It’s much more fun learning how to beat someone up. But for me, it wasn’t fun learning how to do something I’ve been doing my whole life. But if anyone has a brain injury out there, take your therapy very seriously. The best thing I did was go get stem cell in Columbia bioxcellerator,” he said.
How did Matt Hughes’ accident happen?
In 2017, UFC fighter Matt Hughes was involved in a serious car crash that almost took his life and ended him with severe injuries. His pickup truck collided with a moving train in Raymond, Illinois on the Beelers Trail when he returned from Montgomery County. His passenger side was crushed by the train because he didn’t see the train coming due to lack of railway signs.

“I will try and explain. I was helping a farmer and I was taking diesel to a tractor and filling the tractor in the back of his truck. I had diesel and DEF, which is a diesel mixture. I was in the country going across a railroad track. At the time, the corn was up, so I couldn’t see the railroad track well. And there was no cross sign or lights, it’s just a yellow sign. So, it was a bad angle, you can’t see the track at all. Terrible angle. I was just going to fill his tractor and got hit,” Matt Hughes said.
