Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Derrick Lewis famously told Joe Rogan after his last-minute comeback knockout at UFC 229 that the reason he had taken his shorts off was because “my balls was hot.” To which Rogan, naturally, replied, “I understand.” The interview went viral, netting Lewis millions of new Instagram followers, a title shot, and a T-shirt line.
Well, it turns out, Lewis’ balls weren’t really that hot. However, if you are feeling disillusioned, don’t worry: his explanation of why balls can’t ever really get that hot is probably just as good as his Rogan interview:
I took my shorts off to throw into the crowd. [Joe Rogan] asked me that, and I didn’t know what to say.
[To reporter] I know you play with your balls sometimes, and you know that one feeling between your butthole and your balls that’s always cold? So your balls never that hot.
He said he doesn’t know where his shorts are, because he always throws his shorts and gloves into the crowd because he doesn’t care about that stuff. He said he would throw his belt into the crowd too if he wins it, but his coach wouldn’t like that. The entire interview is well worth watching; Lewis also says Cormier is scared to fight Jon Jones, and gives the (real) secret to a successful marriage. He also said his UFC 230 main event fight with Daniel Cormier will be an especially good one because his purse is guaranteed: he will go hunting for an early knockout because he’s getting the same paycheck win or lose.
Insomnia
This is 22 minutes from where I live, but if Lewis does knock DC out there is no way that two-hour window is enough time to get free chicken on Sunday. The lines will be out the door.
Still, what a perfect, well-deserved sponsorship for the Black Beast.
Maybe Cormier can get a Carl’s Jr. sponsorship instead.
Well why wouldn’t that make him content https://t.co/nfal2gxEGS

This was hilarious. Israel Adesanya always swipes right!
The parodies were swift to come and it ain’t right…
Cub Swanson and Kenda Perez are cosplaying as characters from Bob’s Burgers, but it’s a little weird that Kenda is supposed to be Louise, Bob’s daughter in the show.
This isn’t even an MMA page… stay in your lane, mainstream meme accounts.
How did Jon Jones compliment this man, roast him, and roast himself all at the same time??
How good a sponsor can GAT supplements be if they couldn’t find a tainted sample to get Jon Jones off for his second offense?
Anthony Pettis avoided taking an additional round of brain-rattling punishment from Tony Ferguson, flew off to a tropical beach and is enjoying life to the fullest. That’s a success story!
I didn’t recall Chris Weidman’s beard game being this strong

So true…
Apologies to anyone with moral objections to hunting, but congratulations to Chad Mendes on the buck and the meat for the winter!
