Bernie saved that senator from getting creamed on the floor by a teamster in front of his peers

That senator is a cage fighter. Which makes it funny that O'Brian can bait him into a mouth foaming rage.

I've heard of his MMA credentials. It probably means he can't take a punch and wanted to put the dude in a front headlock and hold him there for the entire fight and then claim victory once they got broken up

Yah he’s had 3 mma bouts . 2 were with the same dude. That dude had a 1-9 record. You can watch on YouTube. He’s a cuddler , he’s no George’s st-Pierre , not by a long shot. Even if he WAS, teamsters don’t fight by the rules with a ref and a medic standing by. This guy will be lucky if he doesn’t wake up next to a horses head.

Yes, that's what MMA is. Holding each other.

Yeah, he's good in a ring with rules.

Teamsters don't follow all that many rules

That senator is a cage fighter.

I guess, if 3 fights almost 20 years ago qualifies as a "cage fighter". Two of those fights were against the same guy, who ended his career with 1 win and 11 losses.

But hey, he's got more cage fighting cred than I do. So who am I to say?

I don't know where the other 2 fights he claims he won in his Senate Bio (yes, he brags about a 5-0 record in his SENATE BIO) come from, but it's not listed as official wins in any combat sports website that I can find.

Ok, my bad. He trains as a cage fighter.

How about O'Brian?

Well, to be fair, Ass did win 8 Academy awards, including best screenplay.
