Heres my 2 cents. I think its great that you are motivated at this point about becoming an mma fighter. It is a great sport and will push you to your limits mentally much before it does physically. The hardest part for me was the beginning, because in the beginning you learn how you respond to being punched, elbowed, and kicked in the face, and to be real with you some of the tuoghest bastards in the world ball up like biatch when caught on the chin one good time, everyones different. A good school is very important, and you need to realize when you join a new team you going to be tapped a million times before you tap someone and that is fine. the veterans and your coach will be looking for how you respond to being tapped, we get guys at our gym that show up ready to fight and never return after one night or circuits, sparring, and grappling because there feelings were hurt due to tapping all night. I am 215 pounds and I have no problems telling you that my first night off bjj back in the day I was submitted by guys weighing under 150 pounds, its just part of it. Take the journey slow, learn from the veterans, ufc guys are cool and have alot of insight to share but the amatuer warriors that have 60 - 100 fights under there belts are invaluable and picking their brain is a must. Most teams atleast where I train, wont back you to fight until your teacher thinks your ready, especially if yor teacher is the cornerman for your fights, which is usually the case. Everyone in this game is skilled in there own way, thus you will be too with time and alot of effort. And then you too may sport the cauliflower ear proudly......good luck bro.

so is it hella painful afterward? also how long does it take coliflour ear to go away?
Well it's uncomfortable - I wouldn't call it extremely painful, but definitely not an enjoyable feeling.
The problem is that it doesn't go away. The swelling will go down some but in the end your left with essentially scar tissue in your ear that is there for good. Over time, the more it happens, your ear can get pretty damn ugly looknig.
I had my ear drained 2 weeks ago, and it was a hell of alot better after that than beforehand, but was by no means back to normal. Then I turned around and messed up the same ear, same spot, last night. I guess it's time for some earguards.

Most great fighters have cauliflower... if you're concerned about your looks, then don't be a fighter. It doesn't matter though, because famous people ALWAYS get the ladies

Your not going to get it fixed once its Cauli, unless you know a damn good plastic surgeon. The only time you have to get it fixed is right after the hematoma starts. At this point you can get it drained but once it heals on its own its straight scar tissue. Cauli doesnt happen to everyone there are guys that fight/wrestle/grapple their whole lives and there ears are never sore, then there are guys like me whose ears starting hurting after my first dose of bjj. check out matt hughes and randy cotoure two warriors and their cauli doesnt bother them. Regardless of what they say bro chicks dig the cauli, and those who only dream to live in our world dream of cauli. loltempest2003 said:
