UFC, Bellator Vet Lyman Good Recovering from Injuries Suffered in Recent Car Accident

Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight Lyman Good, and his partner, Micka Nugent, were involved in a car accident on Saturday.

While Good is reportedly recovering well from a few sustained injuries, Nugent is still critical and currently in a medically-induced coma. The news was first announced on the official Instagram page of Team Tiger Schulmann, where Good is an instructor.

Any messages or wishes for Good and Nugent are to be directed to the fighter-turned-coach.

“If you would like somewhere to direct your love and support, you can send a dm to [Good] and any messages meant for Micka he will read to her, as he is by her side,” read a statement on the Team Tiger Schulmann Instagram page. “He is not in a place to be bombarded with questions and might not respond anytime soon but he will surely appreciate the prayers and well wishes.”

Good kicked off his professional mixed martial arts career with a 10-fight winning streak before suffering his first loss against Ben Askren at Bellator 33. Good signed with the UFC in 2015 and later became the first UFC fighter to test positive for COVID-19, forcing him out of a scheduled UFC 259 bout against Belal Muhammad in May 2020. The New Yorker went on to suffer a unanimous decision loss against Muhammad at a UFC Fight Night the next month, which was the last time he fought. After a long period of inactivity, Good teased a return to competition in 2023 that never came to fruition.
