UFC fighter Devin Powell was hospitalized yesterday after suffering a ruptured testicle while training with Lightweight Joe Lauzon.
The news was broken hours ago by MMA Fighting.
According to Powell, the two were practicing knees on the ground, and Lauzon ruptured his testicle with “sheer power”.
To wit:
Thanks to the fine ambulatory services in Wells, ME, I am checked into the hospital and ready for surgery. Shout out to @joelauzon we’ve been practicing knees on the ground and he successfully ruptured my testicle with his sheer power. His opponent has no chance in April 🤣 … now to get the blood clot drained and the goods repaired 😭😂🚑. I waited a day and a half to be seen.. word for the wise, if you hurt yourself, go get checked out. @danawhite @seanshelbyhow about a NY @Ufc fight coming up… this will be quite the comeback story 😆. Share this and help me get the ball rolling on my next Fight and follow my journey… pun intended

Joe Lauzon jokingly responded, “I can explain” in the comments, and then asked where Diamond MMA (a company specializing in groin protection gear) was when Devin needed them.
Powell reported later that the surgery was a success:
Surgery was a success, now on to recovery. Can’t wait to get back in the UFC cage, this will be the first time since my last fight that I will be forced to rest my whole body for multiple days in a row. I will come back stronger than ever, I wasn’t expecting this curve ball but I’m going to hit my recovery right out of the park.
Joe Lauzon is known for his aggressive and exciting style. He is tied with Nate Diaz for the most post-fight bonuses and holds the record for most finishes in the UFC Lightweight Division.
Apparently, he’s also one heck of a beast when he’s training.
