“Vengeful” Victor Lane vs. Leo “The Tickle Tortoise” Maddox A rematch three years in the making after Lane’s controversial buzzer-beater tap in TT9. This time, Lane came in wearing a weighted vest (legal? barely) to restrict his own squirming. Maddox, known for his slow-burn approach, spent the first 90 seconds doing nothing but staring. Then he struck — underarms, then ribs, then a surprise hip pinch. Lane held out for 5:47, but eventually tapped. Maddox dedicated the win to “everyone who said tickling isn’t a real sport.” tickle tapout 11
