Why Isn't There Tickling in MMA? An Investigation
About this episode
Socrates called it a sensation of both pleasure and pain. But the tickle is the one legal move that the UFC won't talk about — especially after the tickle went viral. Correspondent David Fleming giggles his way from a rat-titilating neuroscientist in Germany to a cage-side gaggle at a wedding ballroom in Rochester, exploring the science of laughter, the art of war and a truly genius alternative to the purple nurple.
