because they've wrestled for more than a decade and rarely wear them
Most don't wear them in practice. Almost nobody wears them for freestyle (I think it's technically against the rules for Free). For some, they ponly wear them for high school and NCAA competition...which is probably about 2% of thier wrestling.

Most of the cauliflower ears that you see are from freestyle

It used to be a badge of honor to have cauliflower ears.
