About MMA James Thomson?

Question

I am sure James Thomsons ear is big cause of a past fight. Why can't that bubble be deflated ?

Answer 1

how did james thompson's ear get like that anyway?

Answer 2

It was by Kimbo Slice!

305 Baby!!!!!!

Answer 3

Well...Kimbo took it upon himself to deflate it. So it's good now.

Answer 4

Shows at least he finally did some kind of ground work.  I don't think I've EVER seen him try and take anyone down and he did it fairly easy at times against Kimbo.  Maybe they will put Kimbo against Buentello now finally since he has been asking for him for a long time.

Answer 5

It probably either just happened or he neglected to treat it and the cartilage hardened. Once it's hardened it can be fixed but would be easier to re injure. So he most likely either, didn't have the money, or thought the fight took precedence.

Edit: It got like that the same way it was cut open. Either by being struck or abrasively rubbed. If you want to learn more google perichondrial hematoma

Answer 6

Kimbo popped the bubble for him.

Answer 7

It appears that he has perichondral hematoma in that ear. More commonly called Cauliflower Ear.

I missed the start of the fight, so I am assuming he started the fight like that.  I imagine he was putting off treatment so that he could continue to fight, because it would require some downtime for him to heal afterward.  He will probably get it treated now that the fight is over.

Answer 8

Thompson did not look in good shape at all tonight. And that ear? EWWWWWW.... To his credit, he did expose Kimbo's inexperience..
