Quick question for you guys

I'm into the UFC and sure some or most of you guys do some sort of mixed martial arts training in your spare time. Ive been training jiu jitsu since February, I train usually 3-4 times a week and have had one competition in my first 6 weeks of training.

My ears have started to swell abit and feel a bit sore. Was wondering what you guys do to treat it as im sure some of you have encountered it. Do you ice it? Some people drain them?

Any suggestions would be great or advice

Ice them and try wrapping a bandage around your head at night and wear a skull cap.......So you're in the UFC huh?

Honestly, I'm not doubting your in the UFC. But if you are, surely there are alot more qualfifed people you can talk to. Are you with a training camp? What about other fighters? Did none of them train wrestling at school and college? If so how did they deal with it? Coaches? Trainers? Medics? Other fighters? Cut guys?

Sorry, no offence, I'm a peaceful person. :)

Is it possible he meant "into" as in liked it? I just don't think someone training BJJ for this short amount of time hasn't experienced coliflower could be in the UFC. Just sayin.

Anyhow. Don't drain it. It's the mark of a fighter.

If you do drain it go to a Dr. They put a needle in your ear and suck the fluid out. Takes about 30 seconds if they know what their doing.

Like others have said, wear some head gear or wrap it in practice. I've had my ear drained when wrestling in HS/College, it hurts like hell after prolonged aggravation. Let a medical physician do it and tend to it immediately. Once left for too long, the liquid in the ear will harden :thumbsdown:

Thanks for the replies


I am most definitely not in the ufc! i doubt im on the ufc's radar, unless they are interested in people with a 1-2 jiu jitsu competition record.

Sorry about that.
