Any fighter in the UFC who doesn't have cauliflower ear?

I remember Bisping using a syringe to try and drain his ear on the season of TUF he competed on.
 
I always thought cauliflower ear happened to wrestlers more from them rubbing their ears on the mat so much.

You're right, the guys who are giving you shit are wrong. I know kids from wrestling who did that, don't remember how well it worked, but it's definitely a thing to get it drained.
 
It happens most often with wrestlers because of all the head fighting you do/ grinding your forehead in the other guys temple/ear. Happens with jiu jitsu too, but not nearly as common.

Rubbing, abrasion, or from strikes. I train BJJ but the bit of cauliflower I got was when I accidentally got elbowed in the ear. It hurt like motherfucker and the next morning I had a nodule on my ear.
 
You drain it out when first irritated yes, but without pressure on the ear it will fill up again on its own even without rolling if it is bad enough. I was draining about 3 diabetes syringes from my ear a day while training, even when I took a day off I had to drain it at that stage.

The key is to get rare earth magnets, drain it and then stick the magnets on either side of the ear to keep it from swelling again. If you keep on training once the ears are getting fucked, they'll start to get hard. One day I went to drain it and it was some semi solid white stuff, not just blood and I knew draining was pointless.

Unfortunately it isn't as easy as just draining it and you're done, but sometimes if it's not particularly severe that can do the trick. I kept an earbud in my ear at all times to make sure it didn't completely close over.

It's amazing that people are willing to get disfigured so easily. I mean if you actually make it to the UFC I wouldn't mind but walking around with fucked up ears for the rest of your life because you used to do MMA and grappling without every achieving everything must suck

Chris Weidman
Anderson Silva
Fedor
Robbie Lawler
Tito Ortiz
Anthony Rumble
Miesha Tate

I have been meaning to make this thread myself for quite some time now.

Could be that those dudes are just not as vain as you or are tougher than you. Or that not everyone shares the same values in life...



absolutely. well said and I think it is a badge of honor




This...I know grapplers tend to wear it like a badge of honor.

It's also a sign to probably not fuck with someone on the street lol.

I think Cauliflower ear looks horrid, and I think all fighters should drain it, because it makes you more susceptible to this kind of thing.
