Mike Tyson, eat your heart out.

If you thought what the boxing legend did to Evander Holyfield when he bit a chunk out of his ear off during a fight was bad, wait until you see what UFC star Jon Jones got up to recently.

Stephen Glover, more commonly known as Steve-O in the entertainment business, of Jackass fame, is apparently on a mission to get a cauliflower ear so enlisted Jones’ help.

You know when you see big, burly rugby props whose ears are so disfigured from years of sticking their heads in places where most people wouldn’t dare venture? Well, that’s the look Steve-O was after.

Jones shared a video clip on his Twitter account showing him with a hammer in his hand while Steve-O lay down with his ear in the firing line, resting on a piece of gym equipment.

“I’m getting ready to hurt Steve-O,” Jones says.

The next thing we see is the aftermath of that cruel experiment, and Steve-O’s ear is a bloody, deformed mess, while his white shirt is also covered in claret.

“Well, Steve-O came to town, started talking s***,” Jones jokes. “And you see how that turned out for him. I ripped half his ear off.

“You think Mike Tyson did something to Holyfield? Mike Tyson had nothing.”

Steve-O and the Jackass crew rose to fame by performing outrageous, incredibly painful stunts but this was gruesome even by their standards.

At 46, the coach of UFC star Conor McGregor, John Kavanagh, thinks Steve-O should probably ease off.

“Is he not almost 50 now?” Kavanagh tweeted. “Time to grow up and leave that s*** behind.”
