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. 29, 2025.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think Magomed Ankalaev\u2019s coach is wrong to say Alex Pereira\u2019s striking can be fundamental\/limited, but to say he can\u2019t really knock you out? I have to assume there\u2019s a translation error. That would be a silly take!<\/p>\n
Ahead of a big weekend for the Bantamweight division, former kingpin TJ Dillashaw gives his thoughts on the division.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the UFC is saving its best for Paramount and early 2026? That\u2019s the most optimistic take I can manage.<\/p>\n
It sure looks like Yaroslav Amosov has been signed. His presence will only make the UFC Welterweight division more exciting!<\/p>\n
Shakur Stevenson and Gervona Davis have been beefing online for how long without any serious discussions of booking a fight?<\/p>\n
An extended look at The Smashing Machine, which goes into theaters this Friday.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard not to favor Simon due to his youth, but this is an awesome scrap of very skilled Bantamweights.<\/p>\n
Paulo Costa, expert poker player!<\/p>\n
Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/p>\n
Breaking the clinch with heavy uppercuts:<\/p>\n
Tornado kicks are one of the coolest strikes in MMA, and Azhuev has serious fluidity with his here.<\/p>\n
This is an outrageous KO and everything, but Bobo Sacko is an all-time great fighter name.<\/p>\n
Momentum is everything in fighting \u2026 and in giant swings.<\/p>\n
