What the hell did the whitemare do to Sakurabas' ear yo!!

I still havent got to see anything from these fights cause I had to shut off my directTV so I could afford more x-mas for my kids. I've seen the results but of course I can't wait to see a replay sometime, anyway I just saw this pic of Sakuraba's ear WTF happened? Did the whitemare go Tyson on his ass?

basically nothing of consequence.

the ref had a Dr. look at it b4 it came off. but let it continue.

I think whatever took it off was blocked if I remember right. It was early in the fight too.

totally anticlimatic.

it was a freakish accident, gotta watch the vid... all fights are on youtube i believe

That just looks like some painful shit, damn Sakuraba is a way past his prime warrior

Every youtube video I found said HDnet made them take them down, happened quick too.

dont we say this after every Saku fight lately though

I tried to watch the fight off tivo again but there were no good camera angles. That picture is the best I've seen. It was some quick grapple or defense or something that tore it out if I remember.

i think he was trying to break from a clinch when it happened

Zaromskis landed a punch that popped his cauliflower ear. They looked at it and continued the fight and another shot tore the ear away from his head so they stopped the fight.

Yeah but we still haven't an injury like that on Sakuraba recently, his ear is barely there! The guy has some serious pain tolerance.

Oh and Saku quickly put his hand to his ear and motioned for the Dr.

OK I was waiting for someone to say something like this to confirm Sakuraba can infact feel pain lol

Ha, he didn't seem to be in much pain though, I think he merely felt it hanging.

HE was cringing as much as would be expected when the docs came and started wrapping it. It didn't feel good.

I remember when he broke his collarbone against Wandy I think, he didn't even look like it hurt him untill after they called the fight and Wandy patted him on his hurt shoulder

And my favorite:

I watched the fight, the damn ear finally popped, ref was dumb let it keep going, then it really got fucked up and they stopped the fight
