Mullin's failed Afghanistan mission the latest episode in cage-fighting congressman's colorful history
Fox News
Rep. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., tried to rescue Americans stuck in Afghanistan — his mission was unsuccessful, but he said the efforts will continue. Mullin, quite literally, has always been a fighter.
According to Sherdog.com, Mullin's career included three fights with the Xtreme Fighting League over 2006 and 2007. He won two via submission and one via technical knockout. The training and experience Mullin went through was then channeled in his congressional career when he and Rep. Don Payne Jr., D-N.J., started the bipartisan Congressional Men's Health Caucus. He also formed a training group for members of both parties to wake up early and engage in rigorous exercise programs.More Related News
