Welcome! This right here is Midnight Mania. Tonight, we have Olympian medalist boxer Mick Conlan getting his second pro win, Ben Askren tooling up some dude in Asia, Angela Lee getting another win, CM Punk getting punked, and much more.
Irish Boxing
Michael Conlan is much more than Conor McGregor’s friend. He’s a 2012 Olympic bronze medalist and 2015 World Amateur Championships gold medalist, and he’s now 2-0 in professional boxing. This fight was little more than a way to rack up a number in his win column, as your promising boxers do. Still, watch him style on Alfredo Chanez.

Maybe this is why Joanna isn’t a household name like McGregor or Rousey... maybe that’s why she’s undefeated also.

Now we get into the weird and insanely built part of MMA. These two guys look like they wear 5% shirts with no sleeves at the gym.

Ben Askren had a good time in his fight. Did you know One Fighting Championship did away with weight cutting?
