Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Yoel Romero may be a quasi-cheater and, alongside Justine Kish, guilty of pooping inside the Octagon, but he’s also one of the most terrifyingly athletic men in the Octagon, and three nights away from potentially winning UFC gold (though Robert “Bobby Knuckles” Whittaker may have something to say about that)
Unreal. Yoel Romero is not human. pic.twitter.com/c2ZHw7oEuJ

The suspicion surrounding Romero, especially after his six-month ban from what he successfully claimed was a tainted supplement, continue to swirl. However, he has been tested 22 times by USADA.
Romero is on three PEDs. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

I’ll admit, I do find Yoel Romero reactions pretty hilarious.

Yoel Romero is literally immortal and he's called the Soldier of God because he was there at the beginning casting Lucifer out of heaven https://t.co/wUH56mHOWO

Michael Bisping interviewing Robert Whittaker is kind of awkward already, but Bisping, because he is Bisping, doesn’t exactly help things.
Justin Gaethje’s story told in an exceptionally well-done video. He says the brand he is building is violence.
I thought Dana White said the date conflict with Ice Cube and Mayweather-McGregor was fixed, or just about fixed- but not yet, it would seem.

Cris Cyborg won’t lay off Megan Anderson, and says she is even more confident now that she has seen Anderson’s sparring footage.
I think you'd better not go that way, Whoever ran the fight was you! If you can not legalize in the USA then I can come to you in Australia. pic.twitter.com/CV00Nri9zP

- Burglars stole Ronda Rousey’s guns and Olympic rings and slept in her bed. Apparently, though, Travis Browne took care of business.
