THE ONE WHERE After appearing to have beaten up the robot-wrestling champion in a cinema, Bender becomes a robot wrestler and, trained by Leela, is an instant success. But when he abandons her and things turn sour, Bender has to change his in-ring image and become the laughing-stock of robot fighting.

DEFINITE CUTS
---------------------------
Bender makes the mistake of enraging robot fighting champion The Masked Unit:
THE MASKED UNIT    I’m gonna open a pile of whoop-ass on you!
---------------------------
Later, when Bender is in the fighting league, he visits the owner and top fighters:
BENDER     Howdy chief. For my next bout, what do you say I fight these two bimbos in some mud?
OWNER      Actually, we’ve decided to go in a different direction.
BENDER     What if I told you we wouldn’t be fighting in the traditional sense?

OWNER       Bender, your popularity is slipping…
--------------------------
MILLIONAIREBOT    [As the Gender Bender,] You’ll be the most unpopular robot fighter since
Sergeant Faeces-Processor! (laughs)
BENDER                  Oh yeah?
-------------------------
Robot Fighting League TV advert:
NARRATOR             You loved him as Bender the Offender. Now prepare to hate him as he threatens
your sexuality in his new persona, the Gender Bender!
---------------------------
During Bender’s championship bout, Leela and Fnogg (her sexist former teacher) are also fighting under the ring:
FNOGG                   You were an excellent student – too bad I was a lousy teacher!
(fights back – most of the punches and kicks by Fnogg are shown,
but the last couple of punches, and Leela falling backwards, were cut out by C4) – because they don’t want to show violence by men towards women. That’s all very well, but why did they show the start of the fighting?)
