Saul Jimenez Fortes has given the phrase "take the bull by the horns" a whole new meaning.

The bullfighter was gored in the neck for the second time in three months Sunday in Salamanca, Spain. It was his first time in the ring since May, when a bull's horn pierced his neck on one side and exited the other in Madrid.

Fortes has been gored eight times in two years. Better call it quits, Saul.
