  "account": "Two-time UFC champion Sean Strickland is recovering after an ATV crash in Las Vegas on September 21, where the vehicle rolled six times. Strickland, 35, posted videos of the accident on his Instagram, showing his friend driving the ATV across a dirt track before it crashed and rolled. Strickland, who was sitting in the front seat, could be heard pleading, \"Whoa, slow down, slow down, slow down,\" before the vehicle overturned. He described himself as \"in a real bad place\" and admitted he was not wearing a helmet during the accident, which resulted in injuries to his head and shoulder. A friend, Chris Cornell, appeared to collapse after the crash and was taken to the hospital, where he is reportedly recovering. Strickland, a two-time UFC middleweight champion, had recently defeated Khamzat Chimaev in May. UFC has not yet commented on the incident.",
