State Senators fighting

By Joe Fernandez

I don't know who saw this, but Thursday an Alabama state senator punched another senator in the head. It's only natural that we here at Fightin' Words provide you with the fight recap -- MMA style.

Now as you can see Sen. Charles Bishop (R) throws a strong right and moves in for the ground and pound on Sen. Lowell Barren (D). As Barren is moving away, he lets go what appears to be a slap with his left hand.

But here's where the fight could've went Barren's way:

As Barren is falling back against the desk, Bishop extends his left arm against Barren, practically giving him the armbar. If Barren switched his hips in time, he would've earned the submission victory at 0:07 of the first round. Instead, Bishop earned the 10-9 round, the unanimous decision win and advances to the senate quarterfinals.

If this were the IFL, would the Dems beat the Reps?
