MMA Fighter Has Ear Torn Off in Ring

It’s not nearly as bad as having a bull’s horn gore you through your chin and out your mouth, but what happened to MMA fighter Shigeyuki Uchiyama in Japan on Friday was still pretty gnarly. Uchiyama was fighting Masaya Takita when he went for a takedown and the two went through the ropes. Somehow Uchiyama wound up having part of his cauliflower ear torn off and here are the pictures courtesy of Daniel Herbertson of Fanhouse:
