Another challenge has been presented. 

For the second year in a row, Outlander's Sam Heughan has been named E! Online's Alpha Male Madness champion, and he sure is excited about it, based on his acceptance speech above. 

"Thank you to all the fans who voted for myself," he says. "I'm going to take this in honor of Outlander and everyone that works on the show, but that's absolutely awesome." 

However, what he seems equally excited about is that he once again bested last year's runner up, Colin O'Donoghue of Once Upon a Time

O'Donoghue was eliminated in the final four in favor of a final showdown between Heughan and Arrow's Stephen Amell, but Heughan doesn't care one bit. 

"I mean, Colin O'Donoghue...who is that guy?!" he wonders. "The final's the final. It's all about beating Colin."

Last year, the guys got into some sort of bet that involved them dressing up in each other's costumes, and they both eventually fulfilled their end of the bet. Heughan got all pirated up at Comic-Con last summer, and O'Donoghue later donned a kilt on his own time:

Now, Heughan's issuing a new challenge, and we'll just have to wait to see if O'Donoghue accepts the call of the banana suit. 

Either way, this is the greatest fight of handsomeness we've ever witnessed and we hope it never ends. 

Outlander premieres Saturday, April 9 at 9 p.m. on Starz, and Once Upon a Time airs Sundays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
