Former UFC fighter Mateus Mendonca has revealed he fractured his penis during a grappling session. Mendonca, who has an 11-3 record in MMA, underwent emergency surgery after he was kneed below the belt while training in Brazil. As a result of the injury, Mendonca will be unable to train for two months after he was left in "absurd pain".
The 25-year-old told MMA Fighting : "I was training with [a teammate], and he landed his knee on my penis, and I felt an absurd pain and went to the bathroom. I was in Sao Paulo the other day, and my thing looked weird, it looked different, it has a lump.
"My girl told me to go to the hospital and they did an ultrasound exam, and told me to go to a different hospital right away for an emergency surgery.". Mendonca is now raffling off items from his UFC run on social media to earn some money while he is unable to train, fight or teach martial arts. "The doctor told me to avoid training and teaching for two months," he added.
"I have to stay at home and do nothing. I can't teach and train, so I'm raffling that to have some money. I have a little daughter, and I brought my family with me to Sao Paulo to start training.". Mendonca earned a UFC contract after beating Ashiek Ajim on Dana White's Contender Series, but he was released from the promotion after suffering three straight losses to Javid Basharat, Nate Maness and Jesus Aguilar.
