Andre Fili Gauged ears

[joey gerbils]

I just saw the weigh in photos from last night
I noticed Andre Fili has gauged ears, the holes are more than big enough to fit a thumb in, let alone any other finger.

1) Are there rules in MMA against attack an opponents ears? Anything stopping an opponent from putting a finger in there are pulling in a fishhook motion?

2) Would the ref/doctor stop the fight if his opponent threw a strike, and a finger accidentally penetrated the hole and tore it open? Or by accident when applying a thai plum, or how about while grappling on the ground?


Seems like a pretty big liability for a fighter. As far as I know, he is the only fighter with gauged ears.

I would look at it like small joint manipulation and it shouldn't be legal to fuck with those ears. As guy that had huge gauges its harder to slip a finger through there than you'd think in the heat of combat.

Such a dumb fucking fad.

Its certainly a 'dirty' move, but I think it could definitely happen by accident, especially in the dirty boxing and against the cage.

He does look like an androgynous weirdo
but one that can seriously kick your ass. Like the Navy Seal turned tranny.

Looks disgusting.

Tell me about it. 80% of my friends are getting it and getting their entire bodies tatted. It's gone to the point where I'm considered a weirdo because I look like an average man.

Kee-rist.
That outdorks Cody, even.

I refuse to support a fighter who looks like a complete douche.

I know a guy who's like 30 and had those gauges and stopped wearing them and the hole shrivels up and looks disgusting, never seals back up.
