Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
This video seemed so familiar to me, so fitting, that I had to search the internet and make sure it wasn’t something that had happened long ago. But no, evidently Mike Perry getting run down by a German Shepherd dog is a new occurrence. Part of me is still convinced it has happened before, and it will happen again, because time is a flat circle, and in all versions of reality, Mike Perry finds himself getting chased by German Shepherd dogs.
Add this to the list of Mike Perry shenanigans that seem to never end.
Speaking of “Platinum”, Donald Cerrone sparring with Mike Perry must have been fun to watch.

Angela Hill’s reply to this tweet about Mackenzie Dern was straight up social media murder.

That’s pretty funny- the only thing missing in Donald Glover’s music video “This is America” full of background chaos was Jon Jones driving a car

Georges St. Pierre’s happy innocent “I just happened to bump into this museum exhibit” photos are unintentionally funny at times.

Great addition to the Calgary card this summer. Shout-out to the Canadian gangster, Olivier Aubin-Mercier.

A reminder what an insane thing professional fighters routinely do: this is just a bog-standard picture of a bout where blood is spattering the sky.
UFC prospect Cory Sandhagen hitting pads is a joy to watch
Everyone knows that one guy who thinks the kung fu death touch, or Dim Mak, is real.

I agree- that’s the logical next step for Garry Tonon. Match him up with Shinya Aoki.
This guy is always doing weird random stuff training in his backyard, and I find swinging a 40-lb. hammer into a tire over and over again extremely impressive. You can find a sledgehammer and tire in every MMA gym ever, but not one that weighs 40 pounds.

I’m not sure why this guy is doing this,or how real it is, but it’s definitely some suitable Derrick Lewis content.

I’m always a little surprised body knees don’t put more people down. They hurt.

My notes on these stories: Andrea Lee is Texas strong, I grappled with her once; let me know when Mayweather actually starts training and isn’t perpetually planning on starting next week; and a great featherweight matchup between Dennis Bermudez and Rick Glenn.
