Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, Oct. 27, 2025.
- UFC 321 results: Biggest winners, loser from ‘Aspinall vs. Gane’ in Abu Dhabi: Were there any big winners at UFC 321 besides Murzakanov and Salkilld? Everyone else was at least a little mid.
- Dirty fighters, not gloves: 43-fight Octagon veteran solved UFC’s costly eye-poke epidemic months ago, but Dana White & Co. just don’t listen | Video: In my experience sparring, accidental low blows are common but eye pokes are rare. For that reason, I think the latter should be punished more harshly and more immediately.
- Michael Chandler returns, faces UFC vet Chad Mendes on Nov. 29 in Chicago: Chandler vs. Mendes in a battle of blast doubles! This actually sounds fun.
Insomnia
Bo Nickal reacts to his new spot on the UFC 322 main card. Does his bump
from the “Prelims” hurt or help your odds of purchasing?
Getting a PFL tattoo is absolutely INSANE! Let alone including Donn Davis. I sincerely hope this person is related to Alfie Davis …
Some of y’all forget that James Vick was pretty darn good before getting deleted by Justin Gaethje.
Dudes being weird in WMMA athletes’ comments, example one million.
Alexander Volkov with top-tier takedown defense would be too powerful, the MMA Gods would never allow it.
The Strawweight title fight at UFC 321 only served to make me miss the days of Joanna Jedrzejczyk. I think she might be my favorite female fighter ever?
Quillan Salkilld’s head kick was so powerful he put himself in a boot.
Slips, rips, and KO clips
Neigo doubled up on same-side punches multiple times here to good effect!
Left hook snapped the chin across:
Latescu closed the distance suddenly with his right hand, playing off the threat of his lead leg step.
Random Land
A fascinating fish.
