Welcome to Midnight Mania!<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, Dec. 22, 2o25.<\/p>\n
Melquizael Costa weighed in at 145 pounds ten days ago for UFC Vegas 112. Less than two weeks later, the rising Featherweight contender is up to about 193 pounds!<\/p>\n
The logical conclusion of Manel Kape\u2019s own trash talk choices.<\/p>\n
Waldo Cortes-Acosta emptying the gas tank on mitt work:<\/p>\n
Carlos Prates visited Jiri Prochazka in the Czech Republic, and the two knockout artists traded some knowledge.<\/p>\n
In fights or in sparring, Ilia Topuria\u2019s boxing is so smooth.<\/p>\n
Daniel Cormier might throw his back out sneezing, but based on his recent training footage in Thailand, he could still be a Top 10 Heavyweight in 2026 if he so chooses.<\/p>\n
Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/p>\n
The video angle hides a lot of the question mark, but a great high kick KO all the same.<\/p>\n
Looks like a big gap in size and strength.<\/p>\n
Yamauchi has been fighting tough opponents for a long time, but he\u2019s only 32 years old!<\/p>\n
Anybody else struck by the symbolism here? Two rats, a surplus of food, struggling rather than cooperating, the train only minutes (seconds?) away from destroying them \u2026<\/p>\n
