So like the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) mixed martial arts fights?
I'll be Brian "The Ice Man" Dennis and you can be Scott "The Undertaker"
Morris. Brian McGahan can be Brian "The Other Brian" McGahan ;-) Bruce
Caslow could be Bruce "Please Leave Me Out of This" Caslow. But what would
be a good name for Brad Ellis?
