10 Little Known Facts About Ronda Rousey

7. Cauliflower Ear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZqpQpmmDsE Not many people realize this but Ronda Rousey has an atypical feature on her left ear. It's also not that visible considering that Rousey has taken to covering said ear with her long blonde hair. In fact it is only in certain situations that she will actually reveal the ear like in the UFC Primetime series she was in. It actually isn't an uncommon feature among those in combat sports and wrestling in particular. The feature in question is what is known as cauliflower ear. Cauliflower ear is what happens in combat sports when a person's ear is hit really hard. As a result the ear swells up with fluid and has to be drained or else it'll remain puffed up until surgery is done. From the look of Rousey's ear she probably got it drained and she's said on record that it is a result of her judo days. As state above one usually can't see it unless they are looking for it due to Rousey's long hair. However, if one were to ask her about it she will probably show it off proudly.
