You ever watch national geographic with the African tribal people who put plates in their ears or stretch their neck and lips? That is what Thompson's ear reminded me of. An English tribal golfer. Stupid ear full of nastiness. He should have taken a handful of that blood and whatever else came out and shoved it in the refs mouth.

I'm operating under the assumption that's possible and he just opted not to have it done. According to Nick Lembo from the New Jersey athletic commission the blood from his ear didn't lead to the stoppage, the strikes did but it's very weird that he doesn't seem to have made any attempt to get rid of it or, at the very least, make it much less severe/ Ed, that was the first thing my girlfriend noticed about Thompson but perhaps he prefers to let it run its natural course (aka “popping”) as opposed to having it drained.

I am pretty hard to gross out but I couldn't even look at his ear,even bofore the fight started! My wife and I debated whether it was full of puss, blood or solid. LOL.

I love the site and the group of regulars I get to chat up MMA with. In the future we should set up a MMAFRENZY group meeting at a Vegas event or somewhere.....just throwin it out there. Could be weird but probably more fun than anything. There is a lot of hard core fans here who know their MMA unlike most people I know, the morons on the radio and ESPN. Good job Kris and Eric.

At the very least it could pop during the fight (as it did) and initiate a bias decision or an early stoppage. Kimbo has been exposed for what he is; a highly capable street brawler with next to no ground game. I don't understand why guys in this MMA era still feel they can match up against these high level artist (Thompson not part of this group). Kimbo will be fighting Butterbean within the next 2 years.
