IT takes a special kind of person to climb into an octagon with the knowledge that the fighter opposite intends to batter you senseless. Very special.

IT takes a special kind of person to climb into an octagon with the knowledge that the fighter opposite intends to batter you senseless.

How special? Well if the footage above is to be believed it, requires the kind of person that embraces having their head pummelled to the point ones ears become ugly, puffy, lumps of flesh.

Sure cauliflower ears look tough, but isn’t it easier to walk around in a TapouT T-shirt cracking your knuckles?
