Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, Dec. 8, 2025.

We now have a targeted date and location for Mike Tyson vs. Floyd Mayweather, the silliest fight that I strongly hope does not happen.

I like this fight much better than the original plan of sacrificing Beneil Dariush two months after he was brutally stopped.

Everybody knows that hiding a high kick behind a same side kick is a great trick, but this is an equally effective setup. 1-2-3 left body kick was always a favorite combo of mine!

Is Jiri Prochazka the most wholesome hooligan-turned-champion of all time?

Bogdan Guskov may not have earned the nod over Jan Blachowicz, but at least he always has hip hop as a fallback option.

I would not have guessed that Terence Crawford was the most Googled athlete of 2025.

Mike Davis is a very talented fighter, definitely an under-the-radar Lightweight standout.

Slips, rips, and KO clips

Shades of Dustin Hazelett in this super slick armbar!

Another incredible armbar for good measure! It takes real guts to go for a jumping submission in MMA.

A whole lot of weirdness vs. one missile of a right hand.

This is basically how Henry Cejudo went out at UFC 323.
