Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, Oct. 21, 2025.
- Max Holloway will never compete in bare knuckle boxing: ‘Stupidest thing in the world’: Holloway gets paid too well to bother getting cut up for relative pennies in “retirement.”
- Humbled Bo Nickal doesn’t mind fighting on the prelims anymore – ‘I was arrogant’ | UFC 322: Do we think Bo Nickal gets back on track next month? Rodolfo Vieira isn’t the easiest opponent.
- Programming alert: UFC 321 special start time will have some fight fans setting an alarm: I really like an afternoon card, and the timing makes particularly good sense on Halloween weekend.
Insomnia
I’ve always enjoyed Arnold Allen’s sense of humor and hope he’s
someday able to fight more often. “Almighty” is really damn good!
I hope “Lokdog” gets a big fight next, he’s one of the biggest and best athletes at Bantamweight.
Jason Herzog caught slipping!
Not once in his entire UFC career has Nicholas Dalby taken an easy fight. Respect!
Terence Crawford embraces his bushido spirit.
Eddie Hall vs. Dillon Danis is just bizarre and goofy enough to be must-watch MMA. PRIDE never die?
This is a very MMA style of brotherly love.
When I was actively training for professional fights, I’d sleep an average of 10-11 hours each day. Sleep (and naps) along with nutrition are the most effective means of recovery for athletes.
Slips, rips, and KO clips
A reactive double leg in Sumo? Awesome.
I cannot watch these clips without thinking about the Never Back Down.
This is the only real finish loss on Tom Aspinall’s record, and Ciryl Gane loves going for bad footlocks.
Random Land
A developing story to keep an eye on.
Midnight Music: Country, 1982
Sleep well Maniacs! More martial arts madness is always on the way.
