Former UFC women’s strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk got her Cauliflower Ear drained.

Ever wondered why many UFC fighters have weird ears? Well, the answer is simple. These athletes suffer from perichondrial Hematoma. In other words, ‘Cauliflower Ear’. This condition occurs when blood collects in the outer ear after absorbing a significant amount of damage to the cartilage. Many fighters, including Tony Ferguson, Justin Gaethje, and Khabib Nurmagomedov suffer from it.

After all, we care about our physical and mental health as best we can. from muay Thai to MMA, I denied my arms and legs, afraid of serious injuries, leverage on the limbs, and cauliflowers on my ears.

Apparently, Smith didn’t have her ear drained. And when Eye connected on the ear, it exploded mid-fight. Referee Herb Dean had no option but to call off the match.

MMA fighters aren’t the only athletes who suffer from Cauliflower Ear. Boxers, wrestlers, and even rugby players experience this condition. Unsurprisingly, it is one of the most common forms of injury in combat sports. However, many sportsmen even consider it as a badge of honor.
