Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Friday, Oct. 3, 2025.
Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev are not accustomed to seeing their teammates lose often.
Every clip I’ve seen of Ryan Bader in The Smashing Machine still just looks like Ryan Bader to me. Likely, that’s a consequence of watching his season of TUF a bunch of times when I was 14. I had the dvd!
For Josh Emmett, the hay is certainly in the barn.
I think we should pit more BKFC fighters opposite brain teasers and riddles.
Slips, rips, and KO clips
The heel to the liver connection is a miserable experience.
The moments immediately after a failed takedown or clinch are one of the best times to punch.
Hide any young children and shield your eyes from the raw brutality of this KO clip.
This is not the first bike trick in this column’s history, but it’s my favorite.
Midnight Music: Punk, 1988
