Leslie Smith demonstrated the dangers of fighting when suffering from cauliflower ear during her loss to Jessica Eye at UFC 180 on Saturday night.
Eye caught Smith with a right hand that caused Smith's left ear to quite literally explode. Fight photographer Ed Mulholland snapped a photo at the moment of impact. (WARNING: Photo is very graphic in nature.):
