Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Okay, I can’t say for sure whether Weidman’s enthusiastic holiday greeting is for Anderson specifically, or whether he, in his effusive show of love, meant it for all.
Okkkkk… Been tagged in this picture enough today and it’s time I just post it myself. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!
In less romantic news, Weidman has lately been criticizing Israel Adesanya’s win over Anderson, claiming Israel is ‘just a tad bit overrated’, then doubling down and claiming there is no way Adesanya beats him.
He wouldn’t have much of a chance against me. Has he fought a top 5 guy yet ? A jitsu guy or top wrestler?

Weidman is 1-4 in his last five, coming off a KO loss to “Jacare” Souza. His most recent win came against Kelvin Gastelum. Adesanya is undefeated, having won his first five bouts in the UFC in a year’s time, and says he is willing to wait for his title shot after beating Anderson Silva in a Mortal Kombat-esque affair.

Dominick Cruz will apparently teach you his weird-ass footwork for money
Robert Whittaker calling Kelvin Gastelum ‘adorable’ is a great quote from the champion
Bellator is doing the superfight thing too, with Michael Chandler vs. Bellator featherweight champion Patricio Pitbull. That should be a good one, as Patricio has his brother to avenge.
At least my brother is not a quitter and doesn’t come up with excuses to not avenge his losses @MikeChandlerMMA. When he lost he did as a warrior not as a coward. pic.twitter.com/LIkHGbAhKu

Conor McGregor wishes a happy Valentines day to his ride-or-die, Dee Devlin.
Kamaru Usman really did this to Demian Maia.
Me: “What would you like for Valentine’s Day?”
Wife: “A foot massage would be nice.”
