Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Thursday, Sept. 18, 2025.
Jon Jones has already admitted to taking Alexander Gustafsson lightly and partying too hard ahead of their ultra competitive first fight, so this story tracks. It’s truly mind-blowing to think about just how much talent resides within “Bones,” particularly back in 2010-2014 or so.
Fighters have more experience than most navigating the heinous trenches of the American healthcare system. I’m pretty sure Florida still wants some money from me that the event insurance was supposed to cover…
Statistics are funny, because there’s genuinely less than 10 people in human history who could possibly be favored over Daniel Cormier in a street fight …
Managers scamming their clients, a story (sadly) as old as time across various athletics and arts.
I like both Diego Lopes and Jean Silva, but it was really cool to see Lopes have his huge moment as a considerable underdog. He’s legit!
Slips, rips, and KO clips
An incredible historic boxing match, one most of us haven’t seen previously.
Aggressive punches, an athletic double, nasty knee, and the submission finish — this is quality mixing of the arts!
Melvin Manhoef was the definition of a kill-or-be-killed fighter.
I recently removed three manzanita stumps from my backyard with a small hatchet and garden shovel, so I have an extra bit of appreciation for this video.
