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. 1, 2025.<\/p>\n
Kimbo Slice Jr aka \u201cBaby Slice\u201d holds a 3-3 (1) record in professional MMA. This will be his first bare knuckle boxing match, and it feels appropriate for the son of a backyard fighting legend.<\/p>\n
Holly Holm stepping up to wrestle at 43 years of age and putting on a great account of herself is awesome. It\u2019s hard to deny her as one of the greatest female combat sports athletes ever!<\/p>\n
Sam Alvey and Karate Combat doesn\u2019t just deserve to be on this list, it should be the main feature!<\/p>\n
Combat sports are a rough gig and will leave you with some physical oddities.<\/p>\n
I love the respect, but it\u2019s more than time for Luke Rockhold to retire from anything that involves punches. Go grapple!<\/p>\n
\u201cYour mom is in Bellator\u201d feels like the conclusion to \u201cYo Momma\u201d jokes. How can it be topped? Absurd.<\/p>\n
The glory days of the Strikeforce Lightweight division were a tremendous time to be a fight fan.<\/p>\n
Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/p>\n
Running along the side of the fence then suddenly stopping with a spin \u2014 textbook Emmanuel Newton!<\/p>\n
Overhand inside the left hook, a tale as old as time.<\/p>\n
Composed but unrelenting offense from de Vries, who really tied together his kicks and punches in interesting ways here.<\/p>\n
