Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight!

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Day by day, we are inching closer to the return of Conor McGregor against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246 this Saturday (Jan. 18, 2020) from Las Vegas, Nevada. Luckily, few are better at helping pass that time with funny quips and great quotes than the Irishman — his gift of gab is unmatched and a huge part of the reason why he’s become such a star.

On the whole, McGregor was relatively tame. “Mystic Mac” claimed he could “read Donald like a children’s book,” an insult not even Cerrone could do more than chuckle at. Beyond that occasional barb, the two showed plenty of respect while acknowledging that it would be a very violent night of combat.

Otherwise, McGregor also dropped his thoughts on the BMF title and Welterweight strap, while Cerrone spoke more on his life as a fighter. For anyone who would like to watch the entire press conference, click HERE!

Insomnia

McGregor still has his sights set on “The Eagle,” and it sounds like the rematch nearly happened.

Jack Hermansson isn’t fighting Darren Till next, so he has a new target as well.

It’s great to see Matt Hughes recovering well.

Weili Zhang is so damn fast, her athleticism is ridiculous.

I’ve never smoked, but personally I find most anti-smoking advertisement to be obnoxious and annoying … not this one!

Here’s hoping Donald Cerrone reconsiders …

Here’s a fun way to inform y’all that UFC signed Jiri Prochazka.

Good guys don’t always win, and glove-touching is for the birds.

All that said, trying to start super fast doesn’t always work out.

Simple, but funny.
