Midnight Mania! SteveWillDoIt Gifts Dana $300k Maybach Van
Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight!
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Social media star SteveWillDoIt has given UFC President Dana White one hell of a gift: a Maybach van painted with the Howler Head Whiskey logo all over it, worth about $300k per the man himself Deleonardis first posted about the gift about a week ago on his Instagram, but he uploaded a full YouTube video on the exchange on Thursday.
“Are you out of your f—king mind?” White incredulously asks in response.
SteveWillDoIt, real name Stephen Deleonardis, is a YouTube star and social media influencer. A co-founder of the NELK boys crew, Deleonardis is popular for his challenge videos and pranks. More to the point, Deleonardis and his crew are commonly hanging around UFC events backstage — he was the man who provided Tai Tuivasa with a shoe for his victory drink at UFC 269!
Now for some investigating: White just posted a selfie of himself getting pulled over. Is there even the slightest chance his traffic incident came from inside the Howler Head van?

Some Derrick Lewis highlights, of the non-face punching variety:
Controversial opinion: boxing and weight lifting are too good for the Olympics anyway. The IOC is inept and corrupt to a level that even a Las Vegas MMA judge cannot match.
Regional MMA got a bit wild tonight.

Body shots on the ground are underutilized! Also, we now know what Diego Brandao has been up to.

This is a real sneaky (and clearly, effective) position to land ground knees from.
Holy crap, this dude legitimately got Masvidal’d in a street fight. That’s not good!

Midnight Music: New York hip-hop trio Flatbush Zombies have been releasing tracks with Wu-Tang legend RZA. I like both halves of this collab, so here’s the latest!
