Former UFC fighter Matheus Mendonca fractured his penis during a grappling session in Maranhão, Brazil, and underwent emergency surgery in Sao Paulo, forcing him to miss two months of training.

“I was training with[my teammate]and he slammed his knee on my penis and I felt so much pain that I went to the bathroom,” Mendonca told MMA Fighting. “The other day I was in São Paulo and mine looked strange. It looked different and there was a lump. My daughter told me to go to the hospital and they did an ultrasound and said, I was asked to go to another hospital immediately for emergency surgery.”
