Welcome to Midnight Mania!<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2025.<\/p>\n
In an Instagram comment, Arnold Allen wrote that he\u2019s moving up to Lightweight after gaining muscle while rehabbing his shoulder injury. Hopefully, the move will help him stay healthy and active, but who should he face in his 155-pound return?<\/p>\n
I always appreciate when an elite fighter actually sticks to their retirement. Joanna Jedrzejczyk proved herself as an all-time great Strawweight; there\u2019s no need for a comeback \u2026<\/p>\n
Ian Garry\u2019s victory over Carlos Prates is aging like fine wine, he really took the Brazilian apart standing for a lot of that fight.<\/p>\n
Why I don\u2019t want to see Ilia Topuria fighting at Welterweight in a picture:<\/p>\n
Congratulations to Dylan Budka for getting sober and getting in serious shape after his UFC release. He\u2019s 2-o since then, so perhaps \u201cThe Mindless Hulk\u201d will eventually make his way back to the Octagon. He\u2019s only 25!<\/p>\n
Steve Garcia barely took a punch from David Onama but still walked away from his recent main event win with an injury.<\/p>\n
Wrestling fatigue after a long time away from the mats hits different.<\/p>\n
Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/p>\n
If Dan Hooker can get his front kicks going versus Arman Tsarukyan, we\u2019re in for a very interesting main event.<\/p>\n
Power kick into the open side, works every time.<\/p>\n
Same concept, another example.<\/p>\n
