Why does everyone think being a UFC fighter is awesome if they have vegetable ears?

by MasterBlaster on May 12, 2010

Its disgusting and you can’t even look at one without staring. I don’t think I could ever get laid again regardless of how I did in the ring if I had nasty shit on my ear like that.

Not everyone in the UFC has cauliflower ears, only the wrestlers and grapplers, standup fighters like Cheick Kongo, Anthony Johnson, and Brandon Vera dont have them, but because there are a lot of grapplers its a sign of experience to them. Its no different than losing teeth in hockey or having messed up fingers after a long wide receiving career in the NFL like Isaac Bruce has.

Its kinda like hockey players missing teeth. Its a sign of experience and toughness. And a women isnt thinking about a mans ear when shes with a fighter

It’s a badge of honor for people who fight/train. Cauliflower ear is very preventable but it’s a status symbol in their world. Think about all those tribes of people that cut themselves with razors thousands of times when they reach man hood, traditional tattoos and piercings, the people that stretch their necks. Self mutilation is nothing new and cauliflower ear is just another form of it in a new tribe of people. Trust me man those guys are getting laid.

I dont think its cool.

Well it dose show heart. You don’t get those by being technical. You get those by ripping your head out of bad positions with disregard for your self. So it is bad ***. I don’t really see it as awesome but it dose show determination

Just don’t get hit…plus I doubt they worry about their ears. Who is going to say something about Wanderlei or someone like that haha…

lol its considered a bage of honor.

LOL!!!!! Obviously you haven’t got a clue! I’m sure most UFC fighters don’t have any problems getting laid. Have you seen any of the male actors and, singers lately. Most of them probably would never get l;aid if they where average joes depending on their looks but, with their social status and, the money they make they obviously have no women problems.

You get cauliflower ear from grappling without headgear. Back then, wrestlers didn’t wear headgear because it impairs your hearing during a match. When you get slammed to the mat or pounded in a collar tie for over a decade, that fluid starts to build up in your ears.

So the MMA fighters with cauliflower ear didn’t get that way from fighting, they got it years before from not wearing headgear while wrestling. Today, headgear is required for all matches.

First of all, who is this ‘everyone’ you are talking about? Most casual UFC fans find the cauliflower ear rather repulsive. It’s something that people interested in taking up grappling or MMA are sometimes concerned about. Most experienced grapplers I know regard it a bit like a scar or a missing tooth, not something you go looking for but something that tells a story about how you’ve spent your life. But I don’t know why anyone would think that having cauli ear is commendable in itself. But then you are making up an ‘everyone’ who doesn’t exist so it’s not so important.

Incidentally, having some of the most hideous ears on the planet doesn’t seem to have done Randy Couture any harm in the getting laid department.

If you wrestle, grapple, or strike, you are taking the chance that you will get hit in the ear. When you get hit in the outer ear, it can make the skin of your ear tear from the cartilage underneath. Then, blood or water will fill up that pocket between your skin and cartilage – this is called a hematoma. If you get it treated properly and take time off to let it heal, it won’t give you permanent big fat Cauliflower ears. If you keep training despite the fact that you’ve got a hematoma, the fluid hardens and you get Cauliflower ear.
The more you train to fight, the more likely this has happened to you many times. So clearly, people who have been training for long times have very messed up ears as this may have happened to them a lot over the years.
Because of all that, Cauliflower ears are looked on by some as a badge of honor, as they reflect the amount of time people have put into their training.
