Dwarf African Frog behavior

I have tried to find some reference to this activity with no luck. Don't know whether this is 2 males fighting over territory/a female, 2 females fighting, or an inexperienced pair trying to make.

What do you think?

Well, The Angry Hopper is winning but Fried Flies can make a comeback in this WWE match.

I've not had ADFs myself, but found this:
African dwarf frogs are quite hard to sex unless you have a few to compare. Females are usually bigger than males and have a pointier tail. Males are slightly darker and skinnier and their skin looks more bumpy. Adult males have two white bumps one behind either foreleg on their side. There are reports of African dwarf frogs breeding but it is said the tadpoles are hard to raise. Mine spawned twice when their tank was near the window and they received natural daylight, both times they ate the eggs. The male clasps the female for quite some time and she will swim around with him holding on.

When mating, the male grabs the female from behind around the waist (not the neck) to stimulate the release of the eggs. In that one pic, the male is the one with the white patch behind his armpit. At any rate, the male is the slender of the two. Looks like he's got the wrong end.
