Stormy Daniels’ former attorney Michael Avenatti has challenged Donald Trump Jr to an MMA fight — for charity.

NBC News’ Dylan Byers tweeted that while having lunch with Avenatti, the lawyer proposed “a three-round mixed-martial arts fight with Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr for charity.”

“No joke,” Byers added.

Avenatti retweeted the post, adding that the fight “would be for two great causes.”

“I’m in,” he said.

I’m having lunch with Michael Avenatti @MichaelAvenatti at the Vanity Fair Summit and he’s proposing a three-round mixed-martial arts fight with Donald Trump Jr. @DonaldJTrumpJr for charity. No joke.

Let's see the tough guy make excuses now.

1. Two great causes; the charity and the satisfaction of kicking trump's ass

I'll donate $100

2. Freak show.

Welcome to politics in 2018.

3. Please proceed Mr Avenatti

Humiliate Bif in front of the entire world, and let his daddy make up some excuse. "My boy's shoelaces were untied. Avenatti took advantage of that. Very unfair!"

10. Of course this event could never happen - the Secret Service wouldn't allow it.

And that's a good thing. Politics shouldn't be treated like a game show; it's a serious business. It's bad enough that Trump does, but we don't need to debase our politics any further with stupid suggestions like this.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Of course he's doing this as a joke, maybe hoping to get Trump to tweet something stupid,

but it's farcical and embarrassing that our politics has descended to this level at all.

Maybe we can get Avenatti & The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) vs Trump Jr & Kane (Glenn Jacobs), in a Hell In A Cell match.

7. I keep visualizing the antics in the British Parliament

where they really go at it...it is amusing sometimes but I personally don't find it very dignified for politics to be like a reality TV show (even if a reality star is the pseudo president) or a sporting event.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. I think any notions of dignity are long gone.

And Avenatti isn't helping. Trump has been treating his presidency as a reality TV show because that's all he knows, but Avenatti ought to know better instead of doubling down on Trump's debasing of our politics.

12. I'm with you on this...

and I'm pretty fucking tolerant of a lot of stuff. But ultimately, this shit is just depressing.

[OnDoutside]

8. Oh dear.

[smirkymonkey]

13. I think he's just baiting him. He knows that Jr. is too much of a coward to ever

take him up on the offer.

14. According to John Oliver on Last Week tonight

it's Hannity that is all bragging about his mixed martial arts "skills" (I would not have known this if they had not posted a clip about how often he brags about it on tv). Avenatti should challenge Hannity!
