Midnight Mania! Evans-Smith Accused Of Stealing Medical Supplies

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

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

This is an ugly one. UFC Flyweight Ashlee Evans-Smith is accused of stealing medical supplies that were intended to be donated to local nurses and hospitals to help with the COVID-19 pandemic. Per the Facebook post below, Evans-Smith and her boyfriend, Mike Wilson Jr., went to pick up a dresser (unrelated to the medical supplies) but instead took the opportunity to snag the masks and gloves as well.

If you can’t read the Facebook post, here’s the relevant quote: “Ashlee and her bf showed up and loaded the dresser into her car. After the dresser was loaded, Ashlees BF was seen walking back to my front door, and taking the basket of medical supplies back to the car with him while Ashlee watches and waits. Then they drive off. I’m thinking this must be a mistake, who takes a basket full medical items that everyone know are in short supply right now, from someone else’s home? I tried messaging her immediately telling her these are donations and no response.”

Initially, there appeared potential for the whole thing to be some type of misunderstanding. However, that appears less likely now after police intervention. When a sheriff returned the box of supplies, the original owner, Selina Cohen, realized that half of the original quantity was missing.

In addition, Cohen was kind enough to provide us with some since-deleted Instagram stories from Evans-Smith’s account. In the video below, Evans-Smith denies the whole thing as a misunderstanding.

She also shared screenshot of her boyfriend’s text messages, who insults Cohen several times before also labeling the incident a “misunderstanding.”

Aside from these deleted posts, Evans-Smith has yet to make an official response. Stay tuned for any further updates.

Once again, Jordan Burroughs is the f*cking coolest.

A cool moment most of us missed from an insane fight:

The friendship between Israel Adesanya and Darren Till is, quite frankly, adorable.

Fun fact: former WBC interim Heavyweight champ Dillian Whyte had an MMA fight way back in 2008.

As someone who definitely struggles with kick placement, allow me to promise you this is both important and impressive!

The support of a committed significant other is always hugely important to an athlete’s success, but wives around the world are taking a more active role in their husband’s training!

An unexpectedly dope combination for Heavyweight MMA:

Caught at the very end of the kick!

A big swarm of punches creates a pretty stellar faceplant finish!
