One day, he invited a barber to his home, and the latter told him he could help resolve Ruffy\u2019s wife\u2019s \u201cpregnancy problem\u201d. The barber also asked Ruffy what he was exceptionally good at (fighting) but had failed to turn into a successful career. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Brazilian also confessed that, early in his MMA career, he would often get injured after fights and had to go under the knife several times. He grew tired of dealing with the constant injuries and prayed to God to take his life. But after meeting the barber who claimed that \u2018God had sent him,\u2019 things began to turn around for Ruffy. He and his wife were eventually blessed with two children, and he also earned a UFC contract in the years to come. During a chat with Full Violence, Mauricio Ruffy said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy wife couldn\u2019t be a mother. I was living in a hotel. A guy came to my house. I hired a guy to cut my hair. The guy came to my house and said, \u2018Hey, where\u2019s your wife?\u2019 I said, \u2018What are you talking about?\u2019 He said God brought me here to heal her.\u2019 I said, \u2018What do you mean?\u2019 He said, \u2018She doesn\u2019t have a pregnancy problem?\u2019 I almost fell back. It was a very intimate thing. Just me and her knew about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThen he said, \u2018What about you? What are you so good at but you are not successful?\u2019 I was in bed for three years practically. Every time I would fight, I would break my knee. I would break my hand. Surgery after surgery. I would come to the gym and ask God to bring a car to run me over. I didn\u2019t have the courage to take my own life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI discovered something in the spiritual world\u2026 And then he left my house and said, \u2018God is going to send a child for you.\u2019 Ten days later, my wife was pregnant\u2026. In one year, God gave us two children.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Check out Mauricio Ruffy\u2019s comments below:<\/em><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Mauricio Ruffy has come along way since having personal struggles early on in his career:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery time I would fight, I would break my knee.
