Anyone got a Sakuraba ear update?

Can they just stitch that sucker straight back on with no problems?

Still love the fact he apologised after the fight for his ear falling off hehe. LEGEND!

LEGEND indeed! I'm also interested in how it's gone for him.

1 of 2 ways:

1. He gets it reattached and is forced to retire due to the huge target on that ear, plus the chances it could happen even easier now that it's weakened.

2. He tells them to just cut it off and is back in the ring by February. SAKU!!!!!

He has often stated that he wants to "die in the ring."

 From Ariel Helwani's twitter a few days ago



"FEG says Sakuraba's ear will be saved + reattached to his head. He had to go to the hospital immediately. Somewhere Mick Foley is proud."

My God Sakuraba please retire--it would be impossible to add to your legendary status. Phone Post

Wrong... fighting Overeem with only one ear would only further it.

what - He had surgery done to install a Teflon/ titanium snap on replacement <img src="/images/phone/post_tag.png" alt="Phone Post" border="0" style="vertical-align:middle;"/>


This is true. I saw the prosthetic ear and I asked him "what kind is it?". He had difficulty hearing me so I repeated "What Kind Is It?" and he responded back "2:30pm"

 Pics?

Interesting. Haven't watched the fight yet. Why did it "fall off". Did his cauiflower make it worse? Phone Post

He got punched on it once and it exploded, the side of his head was bloody. The docs checked it and let it continue.

They resume fighting, Sak finally shoots a single, opp defends, Sak covers his hear and runs to the corner, fight stopped.

It wasn't completely off. It was a bloody gory mess though.

Yeah when he got up from the shot you saw his ear flap right down so he grabbed it. Looked about half ripped off

I was watching it in full, glorious HD. I'm really glad that they didn't show a replay.

 

 

 

 holy shit !

Genious - I haven't heard anything

-Saku


I lol'd

Yet another reason to get your ears drained after cauli. If he would of done that years ago I don't know if that would of been half as bad Phone Post

there's actually surgeries to have a fake ear made from rib cartilidge. If I were him I'd have that done upon his retirement.

It didn't actually completely separate from his head, but it was reattached after 4 hours of surgery.
