In case you missed it, Politicon is a "nonpartisan, unconventional convention" or something according to their website.

Seriously, if you thought the last round of Jon Jones vs Daniel Cormier was a beat down, feast your eyes on the ownage below. Shapiro completely murderizes Cenk.

But credit where due. It's worth pointing out Cenk at least showed up to the debate. You know, rather than pulling a Berkeley and burning the place down instead. See SCARED MUCH? UC Berkeley Says it Can't Host Ben Shapiro Due to 'Lack of Space'

But really, how satisfying is it to see Cenk desperately fail at holding his own against Ben? Almost as satisfying as this:
