Tweaking his own nipples that is.

Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Brady Jean Baptiste (ranked 712 p4p, 1270 weight class) and Carlos Villarreal (ranked 86 p4p, 141 weight class). Villarreal has chosen Tupac- I’m a Soldier as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?

In favor of your winner, by unanimous decision... Red Crow!
A very excited looking Red Crow made sure he remembered to thank all the fans both in the arena and on the internet. He said all the coolest people spend all day on MMA websites, which got a big reaction.
Ispa Perkele was interviewed post fight and said 'Back to the gym I guess.'.
