Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zapp Brannigan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Flipper Gill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brannigan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jackyl -- The Lumberjack. Zapp Brannigan is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
