EX-UFC star Mateus Mendonca was rushed to hospital after fracturing his penis in training.
The injury occurred during a grappling session and is due to keep Mendonca out for two months.

He told MMAFighting: “I was training with [a team-mate], 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 auctioning off his old UFC gear to raise money while his injury rules him out of fighting and coaching.
He added: “The doctor told me to avoid training and teaching for two months.
“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.”
The Brazilian has an 11-3 record and had three fights in the UFC.

He beat Ashiek Ajim in 2022 on the Contender Series to earn a shot in the UFC but Mendonca lost all three of his bouts.
He was beaten by Javid Basharat, Nate Maness and Jesus Aguilar but bounced back with a win over Luan Matheus in October.
