We can rebuild him.

 

[USA!USA!]

Man, one of the reasons I'll never own a motorcycle. If anything goes wrong, you're screwed. Poor guy.

 

[ryanrandy]

How the fuck is he back so fast? Its been about a year since he did all that damage. Really hope for his sake this isnt to soon for him

 

[Tamriel Terror]

I'm actually shocked that hes returning, not to mention so soon. Motorcycles are no joke and holy hell that list of injuries is insane.

 

[Nightmaree]

The floor was Khabib, I guess

 

[DarkneT]

Well at least he's fighting potentially the worst fighter in the whole UFC this weekend then right?
Free 16k for him !

And a sick pair of reebok shorts

And people say that Shogun should retire because he had knee surgery in the past.

 

[CasterMard]

God, I hate bikes, you're always with one foot in a grave.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Jesus, they basically just started with

And pieced homie back together.

He has one hell of a spirit and will-power to overcome that and fight again, especially this soon.

Damn that's crazy. One of my friends lacerated his liver in a dirt bike crash, was in the hospital for a little whIle. That's more injuries than most people get in a lifetime.

 

[shertardinho]

damn, motorbikes are just suicide machines
little bit sand or one stone in a turn and no matter how pro you are - good luck

 

[CrimsonFan]

And people say that Shogun should retire because he had knee surgery in the past.

He's had multiple surgeries on the same knee. But yea I agree there's guys with way worse

 

[Xuh]

What was the cause of the accident?

Despite Pennsylvania not requiring motorcyclists to wear helmet

Freedumb. Murica!
(Horcher was wearing one though, it says)

Motorcycles are fun but super dangerous. A motorcycle also fucked up Mir. It's not worth it. I remember my uncle let me drive one of his motorcycles for fun. I wanted to buy it from him but my dad said no. Said motorcycles are way too dangerous. My dad was right.
