Video: Pop goes the cauliflower ear! Things get bloody disgusting after fighter absorbs elbow
Things got all sorts of nasty during an ACA welterweight grand prix bout Friday in St. Petersberg, Russia.
A hard elbow from Edil Esengulov (24-5-1) against Vinicius Cruz (12-6-1) on the ground in Round 4 kicked off the gory scene at ACA 166. Upon impact, Cruz’s ear partially disassociated from his head. As the ear flopped over, blood shot across the canvas and poured all over Cruz.
The referee immediately called timeout at the site of the injury. Upon a quick examination, the cageside doctor called the bout off, much to the frustration of Cruz.
Check out video of the madness below, once again courtesy of the great Caposa.
