Former UFC fighter Mateus Mendonca was quickly taken to the hospital after suffering a fractured penis during a training session.

The incident happened during a grappling session and is expected to keep Mendonca sidelined for around two months.

In a conversation with MMAFighting, he shared: “I was practicing with a teammate when his knee hit my penis; the pain was unimaginable, prompting me to go to the restroom.”

“Recently in Sao Paulo, I noticed something unusual; there was a noticeable lump.”

“My girlfriend insisted that I go to the hospital, where they performed an ultrasound and advised me to transfer to another facility for emergency surgery.”

Mendonca is currently auctioning some of his past UFC memorabilia to help manage expenses while he is unable to fight or coach during his recovery.

He added: “The doctor has told me to avoid training or instructing for the next two months.”

“I must stay at home and avoid all activities. I can’t train or teach, so I am raffling off my gear to earn some income.”

“I have a young daughter and relocated my family to Sao Paulo to continue training.”

The Brazilian fighter has an 11-3 record and has fought in three bouts within the UFC.
