Jon Ossoff

Let's just put it that way.

Okay.

I mean, he was fighting make a wish kids and shit like that.

And, you know, just like absolutely like, I don't know if there was odds on his fights, but if there were, you know, they were heavily favored in his regard.

Nevertheless, he trained, he fought.

There's something to be said for that.

But the point I'm trying to make is,

In 2017, as a congressman, Mark Wayne Mullen tried to take the existing law that I'm referencing on the books.

It's called the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act.

It is a piece of labor protection for boxers that was put in place by John McCain in 2000.

OK, he tried to get that.

It's helping them from them getting from screwed over by the promoters and stuff.

Basically, I mean, there's more to it than that, but that's a basic way to understand it.

He tried to put legislation forward that would have extended it to MMA because it doesn't apply to MMA.

It only applies to boxing.

And in fact, had UFC executives on the Hill in hearings, like cross-examining them, like getting testy with them.

And then when the Trump UFC alliance became into focus and he became a senator, all the fighters who were initially part of that effort to get it extended, they called up Mark Wayne Mullen and said, hey, let's get this going.

He had no interest in it whatsoever.

The point I'm trying to make is, of course, this transactionalism reveals that it's only about the top one percent or the approved parties.

But I'm just also trying to underscore it.
