Welcome to Midnight Mania!<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, Sept. 8, 2025.<\/p>\n
Brian Ortega confirms that he was unconscious for 30 minutes as a result of his weight cut! He spent eight hours of cutting weight and was only 1.7 pounds away from the 146-pound limit when disaster struck. There\u2019s no way \u201cT-City\u201d would\u2019ve been allowed to fight anywhere with an actual commission \u2026<\/p>\n
If being nice to Tommy Fury is a prerequisite for fighting him, I do believe Darren Till has disqualified himself from the runnings.<\/p>\n
Terrence Crawford getting ready for those infamous Canelo body shots \u2026<\/p>\n
The greatest dream of every UFC fighter is to cross into the boxing ring and make way more money. It\u2019s a little sad, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
A lot of people don\u2019t realize that Mason Jones has an extensive Judo background despite his preference for throwing hands.<\/p>\n
This would be a great Islam Makhachev roast were it not for the fact that it\u2019s surely his manager tweeting this crap.<\/p>\n
Tim Elliott strangling Kai Asakura with a broken leg is a baller move. But also, if you needed confirmation that Asakura hits hard, here it is!<\/p>\n
Get Patricio Pitbull on the UFC Rio card after his Paris misadventure!<\/p>\n
Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/p>\n
Great angle on the opening hook and then a nasty follow up!<\/p>\n
Americana from bottom position is very difficult to hit, let alone produce a break. Not a clip for the squeamish \u2026<\/p>\n
A massive difference in speed and power:<\/p>\n
Now more than ever, this Vonnegut passage feels prescient.<\/p>\n
