UFC hopeful Liam McCracken prepares for Dana White's Contender Series

UFC prospect Liam McCracken is set to compete on Dana White's Contender Series following a recovery from a severe accident in 2023. McCracken suffered 20 broken bones, including four spinal fractures and a broken pelvis, after being hit by a bus and dragged 60 feet. He spent two years in rehabilitation and physical therapy before returning to professional competition last September. Since his return to the cage, McCracken has secured three consecutive victories, including a first-round rear-naked choke submission against Jhon Bryan. He now faces a medical review to finalize his eligibility for the upcoming opportunity.
