The 38-year-old actor cut his face while preparing for his role in "The Grackle," a new movie from his J.K. Livin Productions, his publicist, Alan Nierob, said Monday in an e-mail.


Nierob said McConaughey had been training Ultimate Fighting Championship-style. He did not know when and where the injury occurred.

Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou became a worldwide mixed martial arts sensation this year with spectacular knockout wins in Las Vegas and Japan.

But the 23-year old’s parents back home in Cameroon thought their son was studying computer science in San Diego.


“Yeah, my parents, they don’t know,” the man dubbed “The African Assassin” said. “They think I’m in college and maybe training in judo on the side, just for fun. My family places a high value on education. All of my brothers went to college. I’m going to get my degree, I’ve just had other things happen.”
