In fact, Khabib has an injury common among wrestlers and boxers – this phenomenon is called “Cauliflower”… The fact is that in most of the wrestlers, due to sharp grips and blows on the carpet, the ear cartilages are often injured and broken. And if you do not pay attention to the injury in time, it can lead to the disastrous result that we see in the pictures.
Usually, an injury is received during a grip, when a fighter, trying to pull his head out of the opponent’s tenacious grip, jerks sharply. Pressure and a sharp lunge provokes injury, the cartilage cracks, and fluid begins to flow out of the crack, which then deforms the tissues of the auricle.
As Khabib admitted, he broke his ear for the first time at the age of 15-16, and now it gives him some discomfort. So, for example, he may wake up due to a sharp pain, and all due to the fact that he lay down unsuccessfully on a deformed ear.
By the way, many sports doctors urge not to ignore such injuries. After all, the injured cartilage begins to die off, the tissues dry out and the ear takes on an ugly shape. But it’s not just the aesthetic side.
Ear injuries can lead to the following unpleasant consequences:
hearing loss;
noises in the head;
persistent migraines;
deterioration of vision;
poor blood circulation;
infectious diseases.
Therefore, doctors recommend pumping fluid out in a medical setting and treating damaged tissue. Plus, doctors are seriously saying that the cauliflower ear can explode during combat!
