I'm more shocked Meryl Streep knew MMA by name than anything. Someone else wrote that for her. Possibly @CoachEdmund

Cage fighting may be mindless violence. But it's done the world less harm than Meryl Streep's MammaMia

#MMA is actually not just one, but many arts. Plenty of people would prefer it over your acting. #GoldenGlobes #MerylStreep
