coliflower ear

[MMAFan]

This may seem sick, but I really wouldnt mind having cauliflower ear.

I wrestled all through High School, and while we wore head gear for meets, we never wore head gear in practice. So Im surprised I never got it.

I basically would look at my cauliflower ear as a battle scar, and wear them proudly. LOL.

I've been doing BJJ for about two years, and I train twice a week. I prefer working from guard so I'm on the bottom a lot, and my ears get pummeled. They always hurt a lot after a class, but they have never swelled. Guess I'm just one of those people who isn't as succeptible to cauliflower ear, but as others here have said, if you're only training a couple times a week, there is a very low chance of getting it. Everyone in my BJJ class trains twice a week as well, and we have a good variety of people training, and no one has ever had their ears swell, so if you're not training everyday, you should be fine.

Wear ear guards! Surgery is no fun believe me.
