Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2025.
- ‘Happy’ Paul Craig retired from UFC because he didn’t want to end up like Tony Ferguson – ‘That’s why I wanted to leave’: I don’t know why Craig feels the need to talk smack on a highly-regarded blue chip boxing prospect.
- Sorry, Qatar fans! Shara ‘Bullet’ Magomedov not fighting Paulo Costa in Doha: It would’ve been fun, but this match up didn’t make that much sense to me anyway.
- Diego Lopes declines takedown bet for Noche UFC 3, insists ‘jealous’ Jean Silva will ‘need the money’ after losing: Giving up takedowns as the superior grappler would be a very silly move. Is Lopes a live dog here?
Insomnia
Sean Strickland, likely a future political commentator, offers his thoughts on the death of Charlie Kirk. Please keep it civil in comment section …
Do my eyes deceive me or is Jiri Prochazka keeping his non-punching arm pretty high?
Dominick Cruz still being salty
about the Cejudo KO after all these years is pretty incredible.
This is a good match up if Maycee Barber is able to make it to the cage.
Mason Jones and Adin Ross are officially cool after Ross’ viral video, which remains one of the worst clips I’ve ever seen.
Who made this incredible Nate Diaz edit?!? One does have to wonder how close Tony Ferguson was to a low kick TKO before it all went wrong for “El Cucuy.”
Paulo Costa reacts to Jean Silva’s weird comments:
Only non-depressing BJ Penn comment in recent history:
Slips, rips, and KO clips
Roberto Soldic just seems to hit outrageously hard.
Here it is: the worst spinning backfist of all time.
Slumped against the fence by a big 3-2:
Random Land
A hungry snail.
