Some gay folk are thirsting over a face-off that took place last week between two, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighters in France.
French Morrocan fighter Salahdine Parnasse, 27 (right above), competed against Cape Verde-born Wilson Varela, 29 (on the left). Their bout was last Friday evening at the KSW 101 event in París La Défense Arena in Nanterre.
The day before, the men faced off duriing a pre-fight press event. Usually at such face-offs, the competitors glare coldly at one another or even exchange shoves and barbs. On this occasion Parnasse simply grinned at Varela. The two men lean toward each other until their noses and foreheads are touching.
The Biggest Fight In France!
