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

Welcome to Midnight Mania! It’s the weekend once again, so we have a double knockdown and Samoan drop at Legacy Fighting Alliance 10, a street fight involving a girl in a wheelchair, Amir Khan blasting Artem Lobov, Urijah Faber going off on TJ Dillashaw, and much, much more

This sequence is incredible. First, they knock each other down. Then, somehow, the fighter in the black and red shorts manages to pick the other fighter up in a fireman’s carry, slams him backwards, and still ends up in a crucifix (which was what blue shorts was going for the whole time)

UFC heavyweight Derrick Lewis posted this on his Instagram account. I don’t say this often, but what is wrong with people? How do you sit there and let this happen? An able-bodied girl slapping another girl in a wheelchair repeatedly? Not cool.

Wtf

Don’t remind us of broken dreams, Tommy Toehold. We are due this rematch. We deserve it.

Somehow I missed Amir Khan putting Artem Lobov in his place for saying the most ridiculous stuff possible.

Who does this fool @RusHammerMMA think he is, better shut your mouth up before I spark you out, https://t.co/tQt8LdJNGT.

Urijah Faber had a lot to say about what he feels are conflicting reports from TJ Dillashaw on how he left Team Alpha Male. In Dillashaw’s defense, the way Faber set up Team Alpha Male, he makes money on most of the fighters that train there, so he has a vested interest in “loyalty”. There is no denying that things got ugly quickly with the messy split, and are still ugly, with Garbrandt calling Dillashaw a bitch after Dillashaw posted that violence is not the answer. Faber tells his side here:

Sad to see my former friend @tjdillashaw lie about me on national television to save his reputation. He knows there was no ultimatum, he got lured by money And @ludwigmartialarts your welcome for employing you (when u were broke, down & out) for 1 year and 3 months – of the 14 yr existence of @teamalphamalemma, a team built with some of my closest friends, with blood, sweat, and tears. And thanks Duane for trying to warn me about TJ being sold off, once he won the belt (see the text on 3rd slide). Thank u @thenotoriousmma for seeing the future Thank u @cody_nolove for being a real champion inside and outside of the octagon Thank u to @studshowradio for the best podcast ever (kinda ) My coaching staff that is the best in the world @justinbuchholz_ @holdsworthmma @lastcall155 @dustinakbari @fabiopradobjj @masterthong916 @joey_rodriguez916 And for the word LOYALTY which is hard to find.

I just read Miguel Torres’ retirement post, and it’s moving. Torres was an early bantamweight great, the best at 135 lbs. before Dominick Cruz. I once saw him compete in kickboxing, long after his UFC career. I didn’t think, watching him then, what athletes give of themselves in this sport.
