Welcome to Midnight Mania!<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2025.<\/p>\n
Jean-Paul Lebosnoyani (8-2) scored an awesome knockout tonight on Contenders Series with this slick lead leg high kick KO, earning a contract and blowing Dana White\u2019s mind!<\/p>\n
Quite possibly my favorite unranked Bantamweight match up in recent memory.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a goofy throwback pic ahead of UFC Paris:<\/p>\n
Professional predictions of Canelo vs. Crawford \u2014 who ya\u2019 got?<\/p>\n
Anecdote of the week: my would-be opponent for my third professional fight pulled out about 10 days removed from the fight. I was down to about 135 pounds heading into fight week but immediately binged on cereal, milkshakes, and sadness. A few days later, I accepted a bout on the promotion\u2019s next card scheduled for eight weeks later, stepped on the scale, and was shocked to find I weighed 154 pounds \u2014 about nine heavier than I\u2019d ever been previously. The magic of salt and water retention!<\/p>\n
Of all the fighters \u2026 why let Sergei Pavlovich punch you?!?<\/p>\n
I enjoy the uniqueness of the strangely rectangular Dirty Boxing belt. Good for \u201cBigi Boy!\u201d<\/p>\n
Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/p>\n
Ran into the left hand (but a beautiful cross check at the start of the clip!):<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a real shame Alex Caceres left the UFC after failing to get fights booked consistently. Everybody likes \u201cBruce Leeroy!\u201d<\/p>\n
Firing as you bounce off the ropes is risky, but it can pay off \u2026<\/p>\n
Hardcore home renovations.<\/p>\n
