Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2025.
Gigantic Heavyweight or not, trading punches with Alex Pereira with your hands by your hips is a bold move. Robelis Despaigne has slick timing though, and he’s widely favored to take out Sam Alvey at Karate Combat this Friday.
It’s really starting to feel like the best base for MMA is a wealthy benefactor. Relying on parents and girlfriends for support ain’t enough anymore!
A well-timed knee to the body doesn’t have to be thrown with much force to be felt.
Win or lose, Edgar Chairez can be counted upon to bring the action.
Want an in-depth look at some strategies that could work against the great Merab Dvalishvili? Click through for the full game plan.
Mateusz Gamrot would absolutely test Sean Brady’s 155-pound conditioning, and the potential for incredible scrambles is off the charts.
Mauricio Ruffy will only improve working with a technical master like Volkanovski.
