"You're breaking my balls, Joe. You're breaking my balls." 

Normally, that sentence could be fun, a playful way of letting a friend or business partner know they're a little off base with their current demands. 

For UFC lightweight Devin Powell, however, the situation is much more severe: Joe Lauzon literally broke his balls. 

OK, so technically it was just one of his balls, but when ruptured testicles are on the line, it doesn't much matter if it's one or 31 — it's too many. 

Taking to Instagram, Powell described the scene with a surprisingly upbeat attitude. 

Powell then provided an update, letting the world know all was well and a full recovery will be made. 

For his part, Lauzon remained classy and honest as always throughout the process. 

Taking to Reddit MMA, Lauzon explained his side of the story. 

"I feel bad about this... and [it's] not even that cool of a story about how it happened," Lauzon wrote. "We were grappling yesterday and I was switching left and right trying to pass his half guard. He had my right leg trapped and I tried to back step but he caught my leg... so it went back to the middle and I crushed his balls. 

"I have the audio of when it happened because one of my other guys had someone filming their roll."

Yikes. 

But seriously, Joe, about that audio. We're gonna need that... for science.
