Training Mishap
Former UFC fighter Mateus Mendonca found himself in a painful situation after fracturing his penis during a training session. The injury occurred when a teammate accidentally landed a knee on Mendonca's sensitive area, leading to an emergency situation.
Urgent Hospital Visit
Mendonca, who hails from Brazil, rushed to the hospital after experiencing excruciating pain and noticing a lump on his injured organ. Following an ultrasound exam, doctors advised immediate surgery, putting Mendonca out of action for two months.
Financial Struggle
To help cover medical expenses and support his family during this challenging time, Mendonca has decided to auction off his old UFC gear. The fighter shared, "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."
Fighting Career
Mendonca, with an 11-3 record, had a brief stint in the UFC where he competed in three fights. Despite his Contender Series win in 2022, Mendonca faced defeats against Javid Basharat, Nate Maness, and Jesus Aguilar. However, he managed to secure a victory over Luan Matheus in October.
