  • I used to be a fighter just like you, bet then i got cauliflower ears.

    - now my life is ruined.

    . dont do cauliflower ears its bad mkay?

  • I hate all these Jiu Jitsu and martial arts places that have opened up and use the LEGENDARY Gracie name that Royce and Hoyce turned into that of legend!

  • the idea of sterilizing/cleaning sth is keep f#ing dirt out of it,so wear some f#ing gloves and don't f#ing touch it after wiping it!!!Plus don't keep wiping around the ear/back of the ear,all you do is spread the dirt,hair is the worst...unbef#inglievable!!!

  • @kzam717 I've had my ears pierced, not that big of a deal.

  • ahhh groosss!

  • He looks like Jeff ross gay dad

  • That's not cauliflower ears.  That's a Fungal infection.

  • Why don't they wear ear guards in MMA?

  • lol brutish bastards

  • I where head gear while I train (don't care whether you think it's for pussies or not, Eddie Bravo wheres head gear as well, lets see you call him a pussy) and it helps to a certain degree. HOWEVER while it protects the shape of my ear pretty well it still causes cauliflower on the edges and on the back side of my ears from getting moved about during rolls. It's a solution but not 100%, I still stick my ears when i get a real bad polup

  • you can change the angle!

  • Oh my god, he's feeling the needle point with his other hand after he stuck the needle in.

    Imagine he makes the needle come out another part of the ear.

    Urghhhh

  • Anybody else notice how Kurt sounds like he has a Brazilian accent at certain times?

  • Nah. You need to do it cleanly...Doctor preferably. Then you needs strips and plaster paris to cast it. You vaseline under the cast and ice it for the next fe days. overwise you are not letting it reattach. I saw this done correctly in person by a doc.

  • You may want to wear gloves. The hands carry bacteria that can be very harmful, even after scrubbed. Second, the person hay be a carrier of Hepatitis C which can live outside of blood for more than a week. Lastly, with the outbreak of MRSA especially in athletic facilities you make it 1,000 times easier to pass it off to others.

  • This will not work. I have talked to a few ear nose and throat doctors it will come back this way there needs to be pressure on the ear for a few days they stich like a cotton roll to your ear for a week to keep the pressure then your good to go.

  • This seems really unsanitary.

  • wear head gear........... lol

  • LMAO!!!!!

  • woow a little too fuckin rough with that needle in the ear huh?

  • well if u dont want messed up ears u should try to get it done asap i guess iam starting to get it from wresoling but i havent dont anything with it . it only hurts is bend or bumped.

  • @hockeyboyroy  yea mine only hurt when they get rubbed, bumped, bent...mine went down a bit after a few days but its turning purple again when it gets hit alot

  • ok i just got my first case of cauliflower ear tonight...how long do i have to treat it with a needle? and should i put vaseline on it now? I cant drain it right now because its late, and ive never done it before...so should i get it drained first thing tomorrow morning? if anyone knows, please respond to this...

  • Get some Earsplintz!

    @TheNinjabassist

  • @TheNinjabassist

    -My wrestling coach told me to wait until the end of the season...

    -I got it drained and stitched 2 times last week...and 1 day of practice brought it back.....

    -NOw I'm waiting until the end of the season...

  • @codester2012 dude its there for life. Trust me.

  • @codester2012 yea i just didnt drain it and it went away a bit, but its getting purple again..im just goonna wait till end of season.

  • emm wat else is in teh ear than blood?

  • I wouldn't let that guy close to my ear.

  • @mrpopenfresh hahaha lmaol i was thinking the same thing. like hell no

  • @mrpopenfresh why not. imagine he've done that to his own ears once a week in his whole career and hes like 35 or somthing i could iamgine he've done that once a week for 10 years. thats many times man. more than 1000 so i think hes ok. or u could call the doctor and visit him once a week to get the fluid out but thats just wate of time when you could do it urself right

  • whats the point in cleaning it first if you contaminate it with your fingers later?

  • you guys forgot about bj penns ears...... man they are just as bad as hendo, couture and Minotauro

  • I've found that if you bend your ears and make them flexible this is less likely to happen but it's still gonna happen

  • Maybe you should let a doctor do that...

  • @stellybellyboo If doctors weren't generally such dicks about treating boxing and martial arts injuries then most would. But go to the doctors once for this and you wont be bothered again. Doctors teat you like "its all your own fault" like you should stop training and be a dorito eating couch potato.

  • in the weight room? You gotta be fucking kidding. Its the god damn cesspol for germs. It probably didn't phase him, at all, to proform a sterile procedure, probably from the lack of brains mushed from steroids and uncountable times he's been hit in the head. What a doofus.

  • lmao at thug lawyer... that's me!

  • from a medical perspective.....cleaning the ear before and even after is almost pointless if you don't wear gloves while putting your fingers all over the guy's ear. Not to mention you're messing with blood. Hepatitis/HIV anyone? Wear gloves.

  • @cassandralee61 you have no idea how Hep and HIV is transmitted do you? Granted you should probably feel where the pocket is before swabbing it but the most important thing is the needle. Re-using or using a dirty needle is the most common way you could transmit any form of disease in this video's steps. Hep and HIV aren't transmitted through skin contact...

  • @veriklyte Actually, as an infectious disease physician, I do. You’re right, Hep & HIV aren’t transmitted through skin contact, congrats. They ARE however, contracted via cuts, accidental needle sticks, aspiration of blood pockets and...ignorance. Wear gloves.

  • How do they prevent the ear from refilling up, I have cauliflower and want to know

  • I got about half my ear filled with Cauliflour.

    How long Does it take for this to complety be done growing?

  • @Goodenuf2byourdaddy it stops when you stop training or drain it. as long as you train it will always be a factor

  • wait so does your ear swell up right away after sparring?

  • @FootballFanatic141

    noo it takes time

    its not goona just get all fat one day

    but when u fell it getting a bit fat or see it drain tat shit asap

  • @FootballFanatic141 No, after multiple repeated irritation, like hard friction on a wrestling mat, or getting hit several times. Blood fills behind the cartilage and hardens damaging the tissue and leaving that nasty bumpy swelled look.

  • this works very well!!! I work at a university in the accounting department and I cant be having swollen ears. Im also a performing artist and on stage image is everything.

  • MInotauro Nogueira is The king of The Cauliflower ear

  • Dude use gloves and don't move the needle once it's in there...

  • @pomalley3306 You have to move it around, that is how you drain all the pockets. Didn't you see how much more fluid he drained by wiggling the needle a bit?

  • Have you ever seen Randy Couture's ear. Damn he is the king of Cauliflower Ears.

  • @100isthebest

    dan henderson?

  • Yeah i ahev seen, its pretty nasty.

  • his isn't that bad. this kid in my class keeps using rubber guard against me and keeps going for gogoplatas on my left side so my left ear is swelling in one spot to the size of a grape. damn flexible people. it's on incentive to learn how to counter that move.

  • fuuuck!! he's playing with the guy's ear!! i gotta go pee cuz i can't imagine that fucking neadle in my ear!! holy crap

    well.. i can't imagine that the guy is playing with a needle inside my ear

  • dude YOU sound like an operating pussyhole!

    Thats the dumbest fucking thing i have ever heard! The idea is to use a needle so the entry wound is TINY so prevent bacteria making it worse...not to bore a hole half an inch deep into your ear with a razor blade and squeeze & play with it...shit man....Your must have the most retarded ears in the planet if that what you do ! FUUUUUUCK !

  • Can't a lawyer afford a practicing doctor? Shouldn't he be wearing rubber gloves when doing this?

  • I've had cauliflower ears a couple times from training, I've drained em a couple times without gloves and haven't had them get infected or anything.

  • Interesting! I've been around the fight game all my life and I never knew of this to be done by a trainer! I guess you learn something every day.

  • No offence, but you clean it wrong before and after. I have a basic army medical training and my mother teaches nurses, so I have little info. So let me share it:

    When you clean a point what your going to penetrate with a needle, or you have penetrated. Dont use the same cloth/bandage/whatever over and over it again. Just one sweep per piece of cloth, then use another. Dont sweep the sking with it again, or you risk infection.

  • Smooth and mature.

  • So what, does it just stay that way after or will it refill with blood?

  • You have to add pressure bandage to it. It might otherwise refill.

  • it refills the more you wrestle, roll, box or whatever you do, you dont get it from "training" you can get it from talking on the phone, say you set the phone on your pillow and lay your head on your phone it will be pressing on your ear more, do that enough and you'll get it, anything that is physical on your ears for a period of time will do it

  • his ear is not even that bad, i knew a guy who wrestled and he had it so bad his ear completely shut

  • Headgear while training will also prevent cauliflower ears. This is a condition you want to avoid if you fight. If you take a hard hit and it pops during a fight, the ref or doctor may stop the fight... the same as if you had a deep cut in the eye area. If you're pro, those 4 or 8oz gloves will make a cauliflower ear sting like a mf'er. Cauliflower ears may be a badge of training hard but always remember the goal is to win fights and have no weak spots or targets to show your opponent.

  • It won't always prevent it. It helps, but any constant friction against the ear will separate the skin from the cartilage and the same condition will occur.

  • very true ive had like 3 cauliflowers now and i just drained my biggest one today and it is definitely a big distraction i mean it when it hurts you stray off form the fight and start worrying bout your ear getting even more damaged.

  • can you sleep kind of upright on the days after you train to at least keep the blood pressure reduced there, allowing for a more natural draining? maybe resting on a pillow just frustrates the capillaries.

  • i live in Aus , and the first time i got a cauli. i went to the doctors to get it drained and he's like wdf, what is that, and when i asked him to drain it for me his like nah you have to go to the hospital.

    that shows how uncommon cauliflower ears are in australia

  • @lwp3021 your doctor didnt know what a cauliflower ear was? mate u need a new doctor

  • Its because in aus its not as common as it is in the us

  • Probably the toughest lawer I ever saw. LOL.

  • your a moron. Cauliflower ear develops from wrestling/jiu jitsu, it is not self inflicted.... doctors drain swelling from many parts of the body with a similar method. this is just teaching people how to treat a problem without spending a ton of money.

  • nicely said

  • First of all you don't get your ears like this from boxing , you get it from on floor fighting sports. Second of all its damage to ones body but its what some people love like me.

  • boxers also get cauliflower ears from trama to the ear from strikes and from clinching

  • it's not about damaging one's body. before you judge why don't you either try it or do some reading. i suggest A Fighters Heart by Sam Sheridan

  • you're fucking stupid

  • That's just a temporary measure, the condition could probably come back pretty soon. Doctors however can permanently treat it *AND* restore it to the ear's ORIGINAL condition, permanently. I'd still recommend headgear.

  • Oh and ViciouslyEpic, doctors cant fix this permanently. Well only if you are retired. But the fact is that most of this people get back in the ring a week after their opperation and end up getting it back ASAP.

  • thats because they didnt bind it up

  • oh shit im startin too get that..

  • fixed gear bicycle outside the window

    dopeness

  • What gauge needle do you recommend using?

  • that' one's probably a 28 or 30 at most. most needles for insulin are 28.

  • what a thug lawyer.

  • haha thug lawyer!

  • i dont know if i have cauliflower because it hurts inside and it swollen but its not geting puffy

  • yeah me too

  • mine too

    i guess if it's not puffy, it's not permanent damage like cauliflower ear

  • just to ask the pros, how often do you do this treatment against califlower ears and how much does it really help? i wear my hair very short so i dont want them really to occur haha, thanks

  • basically it only helps temporarily itll more than likely come back with in a couple days of training again but it does slightly help ur ears look not as bad as they would if u didnt drain them

  • here is an idea........wear head gear when you train

  • @WilliamsBrianL Can't wear it in a real fight though...with the exception of some sports.

  • @WilliamsBrianL Even if you wear protective head gear you can still get cauliflower ear. It only lessens the chance of getting it. I know this because my brother used to wrestle in high school and he still managed to get it while wearing protective head gear.

  • @WilliamsBrianL

    they are to stupid for that

  • @WilliamsBrianL

    People who use headgear can get cauliflower ear too... look at some wrestlers or boxers

  • @alexHMT9000 very true... i got it and i wear headgear everytime i spar

  • @WilliamsBrianL are people really gonna wear head gear in mma?

  • Why the fuck wouldnt you if youre just training. There is no reason not to wear head gear unless you're some macho asshole who actually gives a shit what other people think.

  • @xilix it bugs me when i'm doing bjj and striking

  • @WilliamsBrianL yeah sure, just make sure that your tampons are in your purse first. Seriously, you don't wear a head guard when your sparring, cauliflower ear is just one of those things that you deal with.

  • @WilliamsBrianL -headgear is for pussies.

  • @InsanityPlea83 head gear is for pussies? its away of being safe! when training or sparring.

  • Thank you Thank you Thank you

  • I have a slight cauiflaur ear...but its from an ear piercing gone wrong...not wrestling ,im a pussy haha

  • why are they showing his cauli, thats fukin small

    you should see mine. i caint even listen to ear phones..

  • well I guess you look kinda sexy don't you.

  • welll, yes i do :)

  • i learned about cauliflower ear from csi >.>

    omg this freaked me out!! wouldn't that hurt?

  • zenvideo suck my big balls you high horse fuck! i would fuck you up in a fight and fuck you up at any activity you choose and to say only stupid people fight then you need to stop making fun of people and try it out and if your to weak to get good grades and fight then i guess you should just blow your brains out you little fag

  • What this video fails to mention is that the ear will refill again with the blood unless it is compressed. Some Dr's recommend stitching the ear so the gap cannot refill and others say bandage the ear.

  • I trust Kurt more than i do some "docters". That's the hallmark of a good sensei. Can break em down then build em up.

  • lol the end song is a version of nothing else matters.

  • thats gross what girl would like u with that yuck

  • Some girls aren't shallow.

  • Are you saying this because you're a little bitch?

  • i thought the same damn thing

  • Lol, funny.

  • Damn, that guy must be really stupid, especially since he's a lawyer. I'm pretty dumb myself, I fight, and I'm in med school. But you're right, only stupid people fight.

    Hopefully you're smart enough to understand sarcasm, bitch.

  • Like that scene in the Indiana Jones movie, the Arab with the fancy sword swirling and Indy gets out his gun and shots him....epic win.

  • Smart people fight to ya big queer, they do whatever makes em happy so who are you to judge , but your allowed your two cents so wahtever stupid opinion ya have i guess your entitled to

  • Lets see here. Martial Arts increases the well being of oneself. The Asian cultures are deeply rooted in martial arts, and they are also the most intelligent group of people in the world. They are also the healthiest and wealthiest and powerful.

    Science is mostly motivated by money and often increases the overall stupidity and corrupt human nature that martial arts tries to fight against. It also creates an unhealthy nation because they try and solve everything with unnatural chemicals.

  • Asians aren't the most wealthy, and only Japan and some rare places are healthiest. No Asian country is powerful.

  • China is no longer healthy because they are starting to eat like us. We are in super debt to China, aren't we?

    China is very powerful because of its grip it has on the balls of America, the center of world economy. Economy runs the world, therefore China is powerful.

    DEE DEE DEEEEE.

  • They weren't healthy as most regions are poor and have no healthcare. Hence why Chinese are so obsessed with whacky medicine ideas.

    We are not in debt to China, we are not all from USA. China doesn't have a grip on anyones balls, the world simply exploited Chinas cheap slave labour for many years not understanding that all those 99c stores opening up would someday make China very rich. Still, USA has twice the money yet the average person isn't that well off, China has has twice the people.

  • So you are saying we aren't in debt to china?

  • Comment removed

  • I'm not.

  • Then what the fuck are you saying with,

    "We are not in debt to China..."???

    WTF?!?!?!

    Did i miss something?

  • ....I'm saying my country is not in debt to China....

  • Well fuck, you speak riddles. How about:

    I don't live in America, I live in [Insert Country].

    And using ellipsis doesn't make you look smarter or whatever you are trying to portray.

  • Well how about the fact that I made it clear in the start that I'm not American. My name doesn't imply it and neither does my channel page.

    I don't know what sad individual uses ellipsis to make you smarter, but to anyone who knows how ellipsis work I portray the tone of my comment perfectly.

  • An ellipsis is used to omit words before a text to use only the important portion of the text. They don't portray a tone. There are no "tones" on the Internet.

    Example:

    "...the greatest movie of the year." - Time Magazine

    This is an example of how they use it to use only the important part of the text in a quote from a magazine article about a movie. People that use ellipses (please use the plural form of words where they are needed), don't use them to portray a tone. Unless you're 12.

  • Look, if you're too much of an idiot to understand what I was portraying don't waste my time. Go ask your mommy to explain my sentence to you and then try to prove a point.

  • That was the most butch little 4th grade bully response I have ever seen. Grow up, use correct grammar while debating, and learn to admit your mistakes. The difference between an argument and a debate is a debate uses maturity and grammar.

    I understood what you were trying to explain, I just don't understand how you could write something like that without feeling like a fucking retard.

    China and Japan are the bases of technology. All great ideas have come from them.

  • LOL you're the genius claiming that asians are the healthiest and wealthiest people on Earth then you claimed we are all in debt. And NOW you're claiming the base of technology comes from China/Japan!?!?!

    "In writing the speech of a character in fiction or nonfiction, the ellipsis is sometimes used to represent an intentional silence of a character, usually invoked to emphasize a character's irritation, appall, shock or disgust."

    I guess you missed that one in your little dictionary.

  • "In writing the speech of a character..."

    You are not a character, this isn't a book. You are a real person that is trying to show emotion online which is incredibly redundant. Even if you were trying to show irritation, appall, shock, or disgust, you don't use an ellipsis at the beginning of your sentence.

    I'm claiming that China's and Japan's WERE the healthiest with there unmatched knowledge of nutrition and herbology. They also had very active lifestyles. The USA corrupted them.

  • "You are not a character, this isn't a book" Jesus...how fucking stupid can a person get? I am talking to you as a person to person, I AM the character in this case.

    USA didn't corrupt anyone, China was a communist country for many years and today runs their country in a way USA wouldn't condone. They do whatever they want. I already explained, poverty and no access to healthcare is why they're unhealthy. Japanese are healthy, as I have said they are the main exception.

  • The way you used the ellipses was extrememly redundant.

    "....I'm saying my country is not in debt to China...."

    The ellipsis is 3 dots "...". The ellipsis doesn't come before the sentence. If you knew what you were doing, your sentence would have read.

    "I'm saying my country is not in debt to China..."

    And this would only be in a case where you would need to show emotion. In a logical debate, you don't use emotion.

  • Redundant means overused, any literate person would agree I used the ellipses to express what I want properly. To say you show no emotion in an argument is incorrect, there is no debate when you couldn't pick up on the fact that I'm not from USA. Hence the expression of frustration. I could explain even more thoroughly how my use of the ellipsis is correct but not when it's irrelevant, if you don't get it, you don't get it.

  • You used 4 dots and at the beginning and the end of your sentence. That is redundant.

    Redundant also means used stupidly or used where it isn't needed. You didn't need to use your form ellipsis (that was wrong) to express what you were trying to say. If you were trying to be a fucking jerk, then maybe.

    Arguments are different than debates. You have arguments in real life, not on YouTube. You can debate online, but emotions in debates are redundant.

  • Yes I was trying to be a "fucking jerk" by using ellipsis, in my case using them as a way of portraying frustrated silence.

  • The difference between an argument and a debate is a debate uses maturity and grammar. I have already said this.

    You said, "We are not all in debt to China." That could have also been "We are not at all in debt to China". This theory of what you meant was also shown by when you said, "We are not in debt to China."

    If you were clear, you would have said something like, "My country is not in debt to China." That would have worked perfectly.

    So please stop claiming my illiterateness.

  • No, a debate is discussing an issue with different point of views. In this case I'm right and you're wrong which is causing an argument.

    There, wrong again. You said we were all in debt in China, to which my reply was "no, we are not all in debt to China". To construe that as "we are not at all in debt to China" is inncorect. Just admit you had a lapse of judgment instead of justifying your ignorance, swallow your pride.

  • Wow man.

    I was saying that you could have left out one word in your sentence on accident. "We are not all in debt to China." could have meant, "We are not at all in debt to China." if you had accidently left out the word 'at'. Then you said, "We are not in debt to China." which would have gaven more proof to the theory that you meant, "We are not at all in debt to China". You never once gave a clean and clear mention to you not living in the US before saying that did say it.

  • If I had made an accident, would I have spent the last 5 comments explaining what I meant? think about it.

  • How was I supposed to know if you accidentally left out a word?

    Also, I never once said "We are all in debt to China." while referring to the entire world. I was referring to America being in debt to China.

  • So you're just gona go on in life not understanding something someone has said because you think they might have accidentally left a word out?

    I KNOW what you were referring to, which is why I said "We are not all in debt to China". I could have just as easily said I'm not from USA but I thought you were intelligent enough to get that on your own...guess I was wrong.

  • You said that you were clear in stating that you were not from US. That is not at all a clear form of stating this. I'm sorry that I am not reading your mind somehow and examining the meanings of your every word in order find the secret meanings of them. Claiming my un-intelligence is very immature by the way. Another incorrect use of the ellipsis, who should be doubting who's intelligence.

  • You don't have to read my mind, you simply need to understand that you made a generalisation. I didn't disagree that you were in debt I said "we are not ALL in debt". Simple.

    Anoter incorrect use? *sigh*, ok genius, explain what was so incorrect about it.

  • I think you can tell what was wrong about it on your own.

    Again, I never said "The whole world is in debt to China." I said that "America is in debt to China."

  • There is nothing wrong with it, unless you want to imply that I wrote it incorrectly, then I'm open to suggestions. If you want to say I used it in the wrong context, then you're the one who is wrong.

    And no, you initially made no distinction in what group of people you were talking about.

  • I'm sorry, I never really have talked to anybody other than people from the US on youtube before, so I just assumed.

  • Just say you did it for the lulz.

  • Not in the end, but at the begging I did kinda.

    I sense and /b/tard is present.

  • Rules 1 & 2 lol

  • I KNEW IT!

    Rules 1 & 2 are for real life and raids newfag!

  • Lol no need to start another debate

  • Its da truth.

    I swear it.

  • I personally believe rules 1 & 2 should apply to all facets of life, in order to keep the cancer at bay. But in the end I know this to be futile.

    Anyways, I'm gona go lurk for sum moar boxxy vids =)

  • OMG!

    Did you check my boxxy video?

    I'm in love with that girl.

  • Lol dude she's like the perfect girl. I've been in love since I saw her video even before it got on /b/

  • Omg I know.

    So gorgeus. I just want to snuggle her, while really stoned! xDD

  • Lol imagine her stoned, even when normal she sounds trippier than a pair of untied shoelaces :/

  • I would probably fall into a deep, unfathomable state of love that hasn't been experienced by any other human in the world.

    God damn I love her.

  • Lol this guy sent me all the information about her they found on 4chan. Did you see her old youtube page where there's her fence jumping video and one of her playing with her friend?

  • Yeah I saw that, but she looks younger or something, if its even her.

    Playing with her friend? Haven't seen that one.

  • It's probably her, the guy who posted the video got it from her old youtube account, and apparently they traced that one to get her info or something. I think it's sad that she could get stalkers onto her cause of a video she posted tho.
