Grapplers and MMA fighters often have cauliflower ears from grappling and fighting.

Is this the ultimate SMV boost (fighter halo effect) or does it just look weird?

It’s simple, for grapplers and fighters, cauliflower ears are like a ‘badge of honour’, a trophy that makes hem look tough. People give them respect just by looking at their ears. While in most cases, it’s harmless, in some severe cases, the structure of the ear can be damaged and can negatively affect hearing and balance.

Madness: Grapplers Giving Themselves Cauliflower Ears To Look Tougher
Cauliflower ear often seems like some mythical force when a white belt first falls in love with Jiu Jitsu. It’s a big problem, but it’s never really discussed in depth by professors and only really seems to be mentioned in strategy planning for competition. “If your takedowns aren’t so good and...
