Pro Fighter Puts Avenatti in a Guillotine For Challenging Don Jr. to MMA Fight: ‘Posturing Bullsh*t’

A professional combat sports fighter put a verbal guillotine choke hold on Michael Avenatti after he challenged Donald Trump Jr. to a mixed martial arts fight — telling the liberal lawyer to keep his “bullshit” out of MMA

“Yo @MichaelAvenatti. Don’t bring your bitch ass posturing bullshit around MMA,” conservative fighter Tara LaRose tweeted. “Go back to the underworld ya f’n scrub.”

LaRosa, who is a supporter of President Donald Trump and includes a #MAGA hashtag in her Twitter bio, is a noted professional fighter who holds a 22-5 MMA record.

Avenatti first pitched the idea of fighting Don Jr. in an MMA bout — the proceeds of which would go to charity — to NBC media reporter Dylan Byers while at the Vanity Fair Summit this week. After Byers tweeted about the idea, Avenatti doubled down and announced: “I’m in.”

This would be for two great causes. I’m in. https://t.co/zo46yhsXCi

“My portion of the proceeds from the fight will be split 50% to rebuilding Puerto Rico and 50% to @RAINN,” he added. “Just waiting on Bif to confirm. #Basta”

Avenatti is known for making dramatic or ridiculous statements and pulling elaborate stunts like this, which ultimately results in his name staying in the news cycle and ensures his constant appearances on cable news will continue.
