It all started when Ashley Feinberg of Deadspin sarcastically asked for proof that Ted Cruz played basketball. He responded immediately:

That started the row. Tim Marchman, the editor of Deadspin decided to come to her rescue. Oh….big mistake.

Amazing that low-testosterone Ted Cruz enthusiasts are comfortable haranguing @ashleyfeinberg but not me, Deadspin's actual editor!

Ted Cruz is a pathetic asshole, his social media intern's joke was basic, and complaints should go to marchman at deadspin dot com.

Unsurprising that not one Ted Cruz-supporting cuck/Twitter user is willing to face me in the UFC octagon.

Hundreds of dudes who can't do a pushup are tweeting at me but literally not even one has had the brass to send me an email.

Marchman’s obnoxious tweets were met with a tweet from Tim Kennedy, MMA fighter, Army Ranger Veteran, UFC fighter, Green Beret sniper…in accordance with the above excerpt from “Tombstone.” Even though Tim retired recently, he came out of retirement to challenge Mr. “Pathetic Cyber Bully” to a fight.
It will be interesting to see what happens now. I'm betting Marchman will go silent.
