Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Conor McGregor is gearing up for his MMA return, and it seems he is not pulling punches in the gym. I mean that literally, as he is shown dropping training partner(s) in this heavily edited and condensed training montage.

He is seen throwing an elaborate spinning roundhouse kick, practicing his bodyshots, pairing his kicks with his punches, throwing jumping switchkicks like the version of McGregor that fought Max Holloway, sticking his training partners with side-kicks to the gut, and doing a LOT of wrestling. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu ace Dillon Danis can be seen prominently attempting to take him down, among others, and McGregor appears to drop one training partner with a shot to the head and seems to buckle another with a body blow.
Are Khabib fans worried, or confident?

These people are insanely talented and incredibly skilled
Khabib still doesn’t like rap concerts. Russia can be a reactionary place, and Khabib’s views seem especially reactionary.
I don’t know how staged this is, but the choke slam was hilarious.

What a battle
Day3 Yok Kisenosato (L) vs Yutakayama. Who’da thunk the musubinoichiban (last bout) on day 3 would give us the best action of the day?! It helps that K is hobbled but still fighting tooth and nail for his sumo life. pic.twitter.com/7vyJYp09sN

Fun fact: Ever wondered why it’s called The Iliad? Because Ilium was another name for Troy, and the -ad suffix was used to mean “The Story of.” This means that, if you translated the title, The Iliad should actually
be called
Troy Story.
