rubber match 

The tie-breaking game between two baseball teams in a series. They call it a rubber match because the winning pitcher receives a tote bag full of condoms. All rubber matches are sponsored by Trojan. The policy was implemented in 1957 when pitcher Guy Hugesac died of "explosive syphilis" while pitching game 7 of the World Series.

Josh Beckett won the rubber match today! Thank God he won't be dying of explosive syphilis any time soon.

Rubbermatch 

Most commonly used in boxing and MMA (mixed martial-arts), a rubbermatch is the third (and tie-breaking) match between two teams or individuals who have previously beaten each other once.

After the outcomes of Couture vs Liddell 1 & 2, a rubbermatch was inevitable to decide the superior fighter.
