Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2025.
Would you watch a Darren Till vs. Yoel Romero boxing match in the year of 2026? Make it bare knuckle and I’d be more intrigued. That said, it’s a little rich for Till to act like Romero is beneath him when he’s angling to fight f—king Andrew Tate, who falls more in the realm of influencer than boxer.
It would’ve been cool to see UFC move to Netflix, but if the details of the Paramount deal/general affordability remains true, then I’m more than satisfied with the alternative.
Capoeira has the most swag of any martial art.
Muhammad Mokaev is booked for his third fight of 2025, and it’s a five-round title fight. Think he earns the UFC callback any time soon?
I miss when the Internet was filled with nothing but absurdity like below rather than the cesspool of negativity it so often can be in this modern era.
Merab Dvalishvili with an entirely appropriate reaction to Kelvin Gastelum’s lack of professionalism:
An excellent Lightweight booking that flew under the radar recently:
Slips, rips, and KO clips
This is not a graceful way to catch a loss.
One hard low kick will convince a majority of the population that they don’t actually want to fight.
McKee ate two seemingly hard counter left hooks right on the button and didn’t even blink.

Sleep well Maniacs! More martial arts madness is always on the way.
