ESPN, April 9, 2024
“I'm aware it doesn't look good, and I would get it treated if I got it," UTMB’s Dr. Harold Pine says. "But if I got a little bit of cauliflower ear, I absolutely would wear it as a badge of honor." Pine and Dr. Nicholas Rossi, a resident at UTMB, spoke to ESPN about cauliflower ear – a deformity of the ear that usually comes with wrestling, boxing and other martial arts.
