Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Friday, Nov. 21, 2025.
- Former UFC fighter Darren Stewart ‘struggling to walk’, needs financial help: If you have the means, considering helping out “The Dentist,” an all-action fighter who came to scrap every time inside the Octagon.
- Jon Jones admits to turning down $30 million Tom Aspinall offer: ‘My goals are different’: Jones’ position here is indefensible and I’m surprised he admits it publicly.
- UFC Qatar early weigh ins results | Arman vs. Hooker: Was there a parlay available on Jack Hermansson AND Arman Tsarukyan making weight? Nice work gentlemen.
Insomnia
The amount of money in the streaming industry is insane and has wildly
blown up since 2020 AND Quinton Jackson was underpaid for his considerable star power while competing in MMA … but this is still hard to comprehend.
On one hand, I respect the hustle. On the other, this feels like the action of a man who read one too many self-help books.
If you didn’t get enough extra curricular fighting at UFC 322, there may be some scuffles at UFC 322 given all the names in attendance. We should fly out Nate Diaz and really spice it up!
New cursed fight just dropped.
Mat returns with some amplitude are a funny thing. Judges and fans love them, but they don’t always offer much positional gain at the expense of serious energy … but also sometimes they break the bottom guy mentally. Fun to watch!
A nice show of respect between UFC Qatar combatants (who aren’t fighting each other).
Rico Verhoeven is walking away from GLORY Heavyweight gold. Ngannou boxing match next?!?
Slips, rips, and KO clips
One feint is more than enough setup when the kick is thrown with such beautiful speed and form.
Another incredible spin, this time with the added walkoff style points.
Mike Perry might be able to make something out of Dirty Boxing, it’s fun to watch without being as absurd as bare knuckle.
Random Land
Downhill scares me.
