Mullin is no stranger to fights, it’s just that he tends to be the one calling the shots. He made headlines in 2023 when he challenged International Teamsters president Sean O’Brien. A fight on the floor of Congress over some critical tweets O’Brien made about him. The whole thing turned into a screaming match with a lot of posturing and no actual punches, which seems to be the speed at which Mullin is most comfortable working these days.

Mullin has some fights in his past – he’s a 3-0 record In three matches in the Xtreme Fighting League, the local fighting circuit in Oklahoma. However, he has not been in the octagon in an official match since 2007.
