Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2025.
- Tom Aspinall in a ‘foul mood’ over how past three years in UFC has played out: Aspinall’s mood seems justified given how little support he’s received from fans in the last week and the promotion over the last few years.
- Paddy Pimblett doesn’t deserve the next UFC title shot because ‘everybody beats Chandler’: Islam Makhachev is funnier than he gets credit for.
- Pic: UFC 321 ‘Monster’ who made submission history did it with a broken leg: It’s kind of amazing how easily calf kicks can break bones at Heavyweight, yet almost no big men kick in any meaningful way.
Insomnia
I can’t imagine the interest level of serious boxing fans being that
high in a Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao rematch at this stage of the game, but on Netflix … people would tune in!
I’ve enjoyed these quick insights into Justin Gaethje’s MMA career.
A random Georges St. Pierre sighting at the World Series!
This quote would go a lot harder if it came from a fighter who actually knocks out their opponents, but Thembo Gorimbo is best known for holding people down.
A tricky feinted level change into double left hand from Steve Garcia — this weekend’s main event should actually be a great fight.
Alex Pereira has come a long way with his clinch wrestling. It wasn’t that long ago he basically took himself down in the first Israel Adesanya fight!
More clips of “Lokdog” throwing down!
Slips, rips, and KO clips
An absolute scrap in the ring!
The slow-mo on this elbow is absolutely brutal.
Hauser caught his opponent turning into the left hook.
Random Land
An exceptional big cat.
