MMA Bout Declared TKO Because Cauliflower Ear Exploded

Mexican MMA fighter José Peñaloza entered his Ultimate Warrior Challenge 43 MMA featherweight fight with Dorian Ramos in Tijuana, Baja, Mexico with a huge cauliflower ear. The referee heavily examined his grotesquely swollen cauliflower right ear before allowing the fight to continue.

Cauliflower ears are considered as battle scars by many MMA and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu athletes… And most “wear” them with pride.

First off what is Cauliflower Ear and why is it such a big deal?

As taken from The Journal for Athletic Training, “Wrestler’s ear, an acute hematoma of the external ear, is commonly associated with wrestlers and other athletes who engage in contact sports. It may occur even when protective ear guards are being used. The syndrome is frequently difficult to treat adequately because of patient noncompliance. The necessary post aspiration compression dressing is time-consuming to apply, often impossible to replace accurately, and frequently is an embarrassment to the patient. Commonly, its use is discontinued early; therefore, recurrence of the hematoma results.”

Ramos grounded and pounded Peñaloza until the ear exploded and made the referee to stop the fight at 2:57 in Round 2 declaring a technical knockout victory.
