Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mauricio Nunes (ranked 1935 p4p, 2048 weight class) and Mr Torso (ranked 254 p4p, 264 weight class). Torso has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Mauricio Nunes is staring across the cage at his opponent, tweaking his nipples... Tweaking his own nipples that is.
