and in Korea (I dunno about other Asian Nations), Beef is VERY expensive...it's not like in the US where you can go to safeway/Ralphs and just pick tri tip beef loins for only 4 or 5 bucks. That same package would cost 30 bucks in Korea (30000 Won).

Why are Asians in Asia weaker? They grow up eating a shit ton of SOY products! This halts their testosterone production. When I was in Korea, it was surprising that people are kept in the dark about soy products and live in denial, and nearly EVERYTHING there is made of soy because it's cheap source of protein to produce.

It's from both, you can get ears like that because what happens is REALLY gross. When you have too much rubbing damage your ears get all gross and puss filled. If someone were to then like you said,punch you in the ear after the cauliflower ear is formed it will explode. But you can get ears like that from grappling and getting cauliflower, healing then get it again over and over.I'm not arguing with you, I'm telling you xD I KNOW 150% that we are right.BOTH of us are right.You get it from both

@sensfan10000 But u cant tell me the fighter above didnt get those ears strictly from jiu jitsu..he got punched in the ears

[sensfan10000]

@ChamorruWarrior o shit no i was responding to the other guy partially...he wasnt implying that it was from getting hit in the ear...and that it was from dirt or something

[ChamorruWarrior]

Well you can disagree all you want, but you still can get cauliflower ear from too much rubbing damage to your ears via grappling... lol

[sensfan10000]

@ChamorruWarrior K first of all ive never seen some1 in jiu jitsu wear headgear..EVER in the 50 or so classes ive been in, but thats not my forte so dont quote me. I have, however seen a wrestler smash his ear off an opponents leg and get cauliflower ear instantly. I have seen Kimbo Slice smash and cauliflower James Thompsons ear on contact. Im no expert, but because, i dont want to roll around on the ground or put dirt in my ear, i will politely agree to disagree.

@DangerasTM He can be the first full south korean champ one day if he goes to a top striking coach/gym and continues to improve his cardio, imo

[ChamorruWarrior]

Actually you do get cauliflower ear from rolling around on the ground. That's why wrestlers and Jujitsu people wear headgears that cover only their ears. In Jujitsu my friend got it, then we all bought head gears haha It's from constant squishing and rubbing of your ear. But you probably can get it from being punched too.
