Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Jon Jones says Gustafsson messed up by referencing Sweden in this clip because Jones reps ‘MERICA.

Swedish takeover? Get that shit out of here. I’m a proud American Champion and will keep my belt on this soil. #Facts #UFC232 You just messed up homeboy

Nothing to see here, just Carlos Condit firing off a flamethrower while people casually hit pads in the background

McGregor’s striking coach Owen Roddy- who has probably at least as much to do with his MMA success as head coach John Kavanagh- has moved on to his own gym under the SBG banner.

Paul Daley and Michael Page are finally going to fight

Breaking: Per sources, the long awaited Bellator grudge match between Paul Daley and Michael ‘Venom’ Page will take place Feb. 16 at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. pic.twitter.com/XKGS7IcE50

This was surprising and does seem a like a bit of an own goal on Bellator’s part.

I know many are surprised Daley/MVP not taking place in England. It was definitely discussed from what I've heard, and multiple parties wanted it there. Bellator has various partners who have a say in these decisions though. The fight will air live in the UK.

Gaston Bolanos is one of my favorite young fighters to watch- best spinning elbows in MMA.

Khabib Nurmagomedov says Leonardio DiCaprio knows more about MMA than he does. It’s good to see Leo finally make peace with the bear that mauled him.

Looking up that Rhino revolver led me down a rabbit hole of increasingly obscure firearms, and now I want the Mateba 6 Unica someday. Do any of you have a favorite weird or obscure weapon?
