Do fighters get these cauliflower ears fixed or go with them for life ?

I don’t think it’s fixable.

No idea who this is but cop should’ve just shot him. Would’ve ended that real quick.

Bet if he showed up with a cockadoodle they would’ve shot the dog.

I would have pepper sprayed and tazed him at the same time.

I heard you can drain them, but it is only a temporary fix.

You can get plastic surgery to fix them and I wouldn’t keep them for life if they were as bad as his. You can’t wear earbuds, they hurt randomly, they’re uncomfortable to sleep on, etc.

You can drain them when it first puffs up. Once it hardens like his have, it’s not fixable

It's a wrestler thing. A badge of honor. So to speak.

It's a wrestler thing if you DON'T wear headgear in practice.

I wrestled for 13 years, won a State Championship, and wore my HG 99% of the time. I don't have cauliflower ears.

DC wrestled in college and the Olympics, 25+ yrs on the mat. He doesn't have CE.

Dogs are treated better than humans, especially in airports/planes.

You have to drain them before they get hard and keep pressure on them or they fill back up with fluid

I have it in both ears. Wearing AirPods sucks pretty bad

My left ear got real bad one evening when I first started training jits and my right ear about 6 months later. This was about 20 years ago. I drained both but the left one still kinda hardened up and once that happens it is permanent. I didn’t know it would later become a status symbol for having people avoid you like the plague in a street fight. I literally could have shaved off a ton of blood, money, sweat, and tears on the mat by just letting them get cauliflowered so I could be a pretend MMA guy.

Ok well that’s the difference then. I only get drained after getting hard.
