“Blood just splatters under this belt”- Steve-O recalls the gruesome incident where Jon Jones almost chopped his ear off
Steve-O's ear
Hollywood personality Steve-O is good friends with former UFC light heavyweight champion, Jon Jones. After Jones relinquished his title after beating Dominick Reyes at UFC 247, he sat down with Steve-O to discuss his future.
Jones is a true legend of the sport, and he believed he deserved a huge amount of money for making a move into the heavyweight division. UFC president, Dana White wanted to talk to Jones about this, but a series of unfortunate events made them get into an argument, and Jones’ heavyweight debut was delayed.
He saw the silver lining in that and used that extra time to properly prepare for his big move. Now the UFC and Jones have come to an agreement, and he is expected to face former heavyweight champion, Stipe Miocic. Jones is currently training, and he’s enjoying his time out of the octagon.

“I don’t have to deal with actually having cauliflower ear”- Steve-O is glad about the way things turned out with Jon Jones
Steve-O was recently featured in another installment of Jackass, and he went to Jon in hopes of getting a cauliflower ear. Pretty simple request right! Anyways, things took a gruesome turn, and Steve-O described the entire event on the podcast, Multifaceted, he said, “So we’re at Jon Jones’ house and he’s got these barbells with the weights. We put my ear in between the weights, the big round ones on the thing and he’s elbowing them and my ear comes out of there and he says ‘that’s it, you’ve got it, that’s cauliflower ear’, and then a few days later, nothing happened.”
He added, “So the last thing we did, on one of his workout machines I put my ear on the metal base bar. He puts his light heavyweight championship belt and he puts in on my ear on this metal thing and he’s hitting it with a hammer. A full blown, Home Depot hammer and it seems like everything’s cool and in this footage the hammer hits it and all of a sudden, one hit, blood just splatters from underneath this belt. We all freaked out.”
“We look and sure enough my ear is blasted to where a whole piece of my ear is just hanging down. Thank god I got that footage with Jon Jones because, dude, it’s epic. The blood splatters everywhere, he cuts the piece off my ear and it’s the best of both worlds because the footage is insane because I don’t have to deal with actually having cauliflower ear,” Steve concluded.
