There are various stories that prove that Lee Murray was just different from any other MMA fighter in the world. From his streetfights to being a part of one of the biggest robberies of all time, Murray has done it all.
However, his habit of getting into fights once got the best of him when he went to save a friend and in the process was stabbed. “I wanted to help him, my friend was being beaten by six or seven guys…First they stabbed me in the head. At first I thought it was a punch. When I felt blood running down my face, I wiped it away and kept fighting. Then I looked down and blood was spurting from my chest. I knew I had been stabbed in the heart by the blood gushing out of me. Blood sprayed from me about a meter away,” said Murray in an interview. Murray lost a lot of blood and the fight ultimately stopped when the local police arrived at the spot.
Murray continued: “I lost so much blood that I lost consciousness. I woke up in the ambulance with a mask on my face trying to pull it off. I didn’t know what was going on.”
The incident took place in 2005 and despite getting severely injured, Murray recovered from it. A year later, he took part in a robbery with few of his friends but ended up getting caught and was sent to jail.
