Welcome to Midnight Mania!
The Internet spent much of today making fun of the new UFC belt design.
The Thanos comparisons came early
Max Holloway wanted rings
The red stones is cool but what about Rings https://t.co/DRRkhAIMjf

I think the new belt looks fine, but these were still funny
It was endless
Even Conor McGregor couldn’t make the new belt design seem cool
Ok I’m back. https://t.co/ogw6m4ZeGE

Al Iaquinta roasted him too

The UFC did have one response to a critical fan that was so good, he just conceded defeat and deleted his tweet.
Literally, you'll never have to worry about wearing it.

Forrest Griffin says that when you are as ugly as he is, it can’t get worse, it just stays the same.
There only one bottom and when your there it’s easy to maintain https://t.co/8E0zcOWPfd

Slips, Rips, and Retainer KO Clips
Finish by broken retainer
Strange ending at LFA. Pauline "Pita" Macias (now 2-0) stops Madaline Meacham via some kind of mouth injury. Possible broken jaw? No timeouts in MMA. #LFA57 pic.twitter.com/9VkntwvLRR

“Jonny Tsunami” is a quality MMA nickname
Jonathan "Jonny Tsunami" Wyderko (4-1) hurts Matt Johnson with a series of knees to the body, then ends it with one to the face. First round TKO. #LFA57 pic.twitter.com/Z5GRvz5aMQ
— caposa (@Grabaka_Hitman) January 19, 2019
Tombstone is also a great nickname
Damn. Taylor "Tombstone" Johnson TKO's Aaron Chambers in R1. Improves his pro record to 5-0. One-way traffic. #LFA57 pic.twitter.com/a8MSbxW61D

This was an insane fight- will Gregor Gillespie vs. another giant in Yancy Medeiros be as wild?

Last-round comeback
Unbelievable! Rivas looked like a plodder most of the night, Jennings was breezing to victory until Rivas brought some fire in the last round for the stoppage! pic.twitter.com/FBfT5yIc0r
