Two warnings on today's Gavel Chat ... The first is that this post has nothing to do with collectibles or auctions. The second warning is if you have a weak stomach, you may want to go surf eBay or something instead of reading your favorite blog.

I had to tap into the wonderful world of the Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and the event that took place on Saturday, featuring former street fighter Kimbo Slice. I was watching Kimbo on Youtube for nearly two years now and never thought I'd see the day when this freak would be taking in six figures on National television.

The fight was pretty much what I expected, and was actually pretty entertaining, until I saw one of the worst, most disgusting things ever. Kimbo hit his opponent's cauliflower ear like a Piñata. After I saw his opponent come out of the locker room, the first thing that I saw was his horrible looking, throbbing ear and yes, Kimbo nailed that thing and popped it like a grape.

Aughhhh!!!

I will say, however, that other than Mike Tyson, I have never seen a guy with such a freak show-type of excitement as Kimbo.

Which card company will be the first to put Kimbo in one of its products and what innovative seller will be selling that poor guys ear on eBay... Gosh, I hope not.
