Poor \u201cThug Nasty\u201d can\u2019t get a break with the self-inflicted injuries.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was accidental, but I\u2019ll tell you what happened,\u201d Mitchell told reporters during UFC Vegas 118 media day. \u201cI had some laundry detergent that got stuck in my shirt, and I started to do a workout. And that shirt and laundry detergent got all on my skin, and the suds were coming out of my shirt. I didn\u2019t know what was happening, so I kept training \u2014 at first, I thought I was sweating out all of the milk that I drank because I drank a gallon of milk. Then it started getting bubbly and foamy, and I was like, \u2018Nah, bro, that\u2019s not milk, that\u2019s soap.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the time we figured out it was soap, my nipples were already on fire, and it literally burnt my nipples bad, man,\u201d Mitchell added. \u201cSo, you make sure what detergent you use because your nipples are sensitive to that type of stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
Thankfully, Mitchell\u2019s nipples are okay.<\/p>\n
Mitchell is coming off a unanimous decision win over Said Nurmagomedov and is competing at Bantamweight, his new weight class, for the second time. Before that, he spent the majority of his UFC career at Featherweight, where he built a reputation for his suffocating grappling, bizarre interviews and truly one-of-a-kind personality.<\/p>\n
Now, he\u2019ll look to pick up his second straight win at 135 pounds \u2014 hopefully with no more strange injuries before fight night.<\/p>\n
