Welcome to Midnight Mania!<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2025.<\/p>\n
Given Sean Strickland\u2019s general love of carrying guns into the gym, Khamzat\u2019s beef with Strickland might actually be a bit of a misunderstanding!<\/p>\n
Derek Brunson isn\u2019t impressed by Kevin Holland\u2019s declaration that he \u201csucks ass.\u201d Talking trash on two men who decisively beat you is an interesting strategy.<\/p>\n
An intriguing grappler vs. striker match up at 145 pounds.<\/p>\n
Khabib is obviously a star in America, but I think it\u2019s hard for us here to fathom just how big \u201cThe Eagle\u201d is in his home country.<\/p>\n
I actually remember when this fight happened. Nick Klein was a well-regarded Lightweight prospect, whereas Drew Dober was barely UFC calibre. Times have changed, but this story remains a classic!<\/p>\n
There is only one Jiri Prochazka, example #10,000,000:<\/p>\n
A friendly bit of sparring between two Brazilian UFC fighters (and a 40 pound weight differential):<\/p>\n
Tim Elliott has an outrageous chin.<\/p>\n
Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/p>\n
The rise of the spinning elbow is maybe the best part of MMA in 2025.<\/p>\n
The throw-by to jumping back take was so smooth!<\/p>\n
The shove into the ropes, mix of speed and power, hitting to the body \u2014 beautiful stuff!<\/p>\n
Debate! I\u2019m going NYC personally.<\/p>\n
