If Anthony Hopkins had lost a kidney as a youth, I think he would’ve ended up looking (and talking) like CBS late night talkshow host Craig Ferguson. Ferguson is a (sometimes) mildly amusing Scot who seems to get something extra out of his guests at times - mainly because of his penchant for going into ass-kiss mode the moment they hit his Pottery Barned-out Late Late Show set.

Last night MMA hottie Gina Carano appeared on Ferguson’s show, and gave us all something to make love to ourselves to think about before her eventual, obligatory appearance in Playboy (I’ll wager 2010, immediately following a visit to Bruce Jenner’s personal botoxologist. (video after the jump)

During the interview, found out by MDS at AOL FANHOUSE, Carano described a “rear-naked choke” hold, and was also sure to point out to Ferguson that everything she does during a match is designed to, “everything I do hurts the other person. If I kick you it’s going to hurt. If I elbow you, it’s going to hurt (laughs).”

Ferguson replied, “I don’t know why, I think that’s kind of sexy.”

I’d love to agree with Ms. Carano, but last I checked, Karma Sutra doesn’t (usually) give you cauliflower ear.

Of course, that probably wouldn’t prevent most of us from trying it with Gina or Kyra:
