Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight!
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, Dec. 29, 2025.
- Daniel Cormier open to facing Jon Jones one last time — but not at UFC White House: Cormier wrestling Jones at this stage of his life feels like a great way to throw out his back. Obviously I would watch it with rapt attention.
- Michael ‘Venom’ Page still getting welterweight runaround by UFC: ‘Something’s going on’: Michael Page could genuinely be in the title mix at 170-pounds if they booked him more often. How about Carlos Prates?
- Video: Anthony Joshua involved in major car accident in Nigeria, two dead: My condolences to all involved.
Insomnia
Arman Tsarukyan isn’t afraid to throw his money around. Also, Shara Magomedov must have a wealthy benefactor or two if he’s buying rolexes as a 5-1 UFC fighter.
Deiveson Figueiredo is looking in much better shape than he did ahead of UFC Des Moines earlier this year.
Rizin is killing the poster game, per usual. Will you be tuning in on New Year’s Eve?
Karate Combat may be circling the drain, but allegedly this is still happening …
Marcus McGhee won’t stop shredding for anyone.
Each morning, Tsarukyan wakes up and asks himself, “How can I go viral today?”

Slips, rips, and KO clips
The last time I heard numbers like this, it was Shavkat Rakhmonov.
The women who most consistently secure knockouts in WMMA are those throwing elbows and knees from close quarters.
Petraskiem was in good position to defend this armbar but failed to maintain top pressure and/or connect his hands.
