Biggest mixed martial arts fighting federation that exists.

He's a knuckle head. He isn't a political guy. Probably got paid to appear.

Thank you. I was so confused!

Senator Scott, Nicky Halley, Governor Martinez, (any Jewish former elected official).

Also, and more surprising, no Sarah Palin, no Scott Brown.
