Matthew McConaughey cut his face after training for his upcoming fighter movie. The actor was preparing for his role in The Grackle, a new mo-vie from his JK Livin Productions, his publicist, Alan Nierob, said in an e-mail. Nierob said McConaughey had been training Ultimate Fighting Cha-mpionship-style. He did not know when and where the injury occurred.
