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.

Midnight Music: Punk, 1988
Sleep well Maniacs! More martial arts madness is always on the way.
