Former UFC welterweight champion Matt Hughes has been airlifted to a medical facility after the truck he was in collided with a moving train Friday, UFC president Dana White told ESPN.

White said he's been in contact with Hughes' family and that they are en route to the medical facility where the 43-year-old was taken.

"Apparently he has head trauma," White said. "His family is traveling to him now."

Damn. This doesn't sound good from the reports out there. Hopefully he pulls through.

There are only three reasons you get hit by a train out in the middle of nowhere. None of them bode well.

Hope he gets the care he needs.

It's too bad they don't make trains like they used to.

I live in an area with trains and we've had people get their vehicles stuck on the tracks and get hit.

Not sure the circumstances with Hughes. This is why you should be nice to people instead of being a dick your whole life - maybe when something bad happens someone will be there to help.

In case the train incident clouded your judgement, like it did mine, just a friendly reminder that Matt Hughes was a piece of **** before this incident, and still is.

Wife of UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes granted order of protection against her husband

Why was Matt Hughes a piece of shit before this incident? The head trauma caused him to abuse his wife. There are no reports of him being abusive before the accident. The accident was horrific it’s amazing he’s still alive.

Go read his book and come back and let me know your thoughts on him after.

Or read the link someone posted up above that's someone's synopsis of the book. Enjoys torturing animals among a whole lot of other horrible stuff.
