‘Jackass’ star Steve-O has made a career out of tormenting his body in innovative ways for the entertainment of fans, as well as for his own personal thrills. Therefore it comes as no surprise Steve-O let Jon Jones smash his ear with a hammer and UFC belt in what is definitely a gruesome display.
According to a video shared by TMZ, this ridiculous stunt took place where Steve-O and Jon Jones hatched the plan to subject the ‘Jackass’ star to the dreaded ‘cauliflower ear.’ For those who don’t know, the term is associated with wrestlers and combat fighters and it is essentially an ear deformation.
Steve-O opted for an unconventional approach, positioning his right ear beneath Jon’s championship belt and allowing the fighter to literally hammer away at it. The gruesome video shows Jon Jones delivering blows to Steve-O’s ear with the belt, as things got bloody very quickly.
This bizarre stunt isn’t a one-off, as it is a featured segment in Steve-O’s “Bucket List” multimedia comedy special, unveiled to the public on Tuesday. The special includes many eye-popping stunts such as this and more.
Steve-O reveals that he dedicated five years to making this unique project a reality, enlisting comedian Bill Burr for the opening sequence and sparing no expense with a production cost exceeding $150,000 for just 90 seconds of footage. Regardless, Steve-O’s stunts got the job done and that is all that matters to him.
