After the examination, the doctors diagnosed a fracture of the genital organ, which required urgent surgery.
The injury not only put an end to training and fights for the next two months but also deprived him of the opportunity to work as a coach. To support his family, Mateus decided to auction his old UFC gear, including gloves and uniforms.
It is worth noting that Mendonca has a professional record of 11-3, having fought only three matches in the UFC.
