Last Thursday (11), PFL lightweight (up to 70,3kg) Christian Lohsen suffered a serious and embarrassing accident. On his Instagram, the American revealed, without losing his good humor, that during MMA training, he received a knee to his left testicle which ruptured and had to be removed in a surgical procedure.

“So, last night was difficult… in an accident during training, I had my left testicle ruptured by a knee and which led to it being surgically removed. Thank you to everyone who helped me get to the hospital last night. I'm fine, resting at home, the surgery went well. The doctor said I won't lose testosterone or the ability to have children from this. If I lose the other one, however, it's a different story. So from now on if you hit me on my last testicle we are not friends,” Lohsen wrote.

For the PFL, Christian had just one fight, in August of this year, and beat Jonas Flok in a unanimous decision by the judges. The duel was not part of the season's lightweight tournament. The 26-year-old North American has a record of nine wins and two setbacks in professional MMA.
