Lerone Murphy kept his undefeated record in tact earlier today (Sat., Oct. 30, 2021) at UFC 267 live on ESPN+ from inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, as “Miracle” put an end to featherweight veteran Makwan Amirkhani via second-round knockout (knee and punches).
It was all Amirkhani in the early going as the grappler was able to take Murphy down and score some valuable top time. Murphy told his corner after the first round that he was just getting started and boy did he change things up in the second. The moment Amirkhani shot in for another takedown Murphy connected with a beautiful knee. Amirkhani toppled to the canvas and Murphy landed a few insurance shots before the referee stepped in.

Middleweight prospect Andre Petroski captured his second-straight Octagon finish earlier today (Sat., Oct. 30, 2021) at UFC 267 live on ESPN+ from inside Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, when the former Ultimate Fighter standout finished Hu Yaozong via third-round submission (arm-triangle choke).
While Petroski was in full control from the opening bell Hu defended multiple submission attempts and started to tire Petroski. Hu even landed some solid strikes and body kicks on the feet to keep Petroski honest. However, Petroski’s grappling and wrestling were too much down the stretch and it eventually allowed him to secure the finish with seconds left in the third round.

Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight!
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones has a major issue with the current UFC ranking system and he’s not shy to let us know.
Jones, who is currently sitting on the sidelines plotting his heavyweight debut and overall change in life after his recent arrest, took to social media Friday to voice his disgust with the most recent rankings. The former UFC champion is widely regarded as one of the best fighters of all time and has never really lost inside of the cage. Jones is usually No. 1 on the pound-for-pound list but he has fallen all the way to No. 4 due to inactivity.
Ahead of Jones on the current P4P list is welterweight champion Kamaru Usman, featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski, and middleweight titleholder Israel Adesanya, who is not one of Jones’ favorites. Jones not only took an immediate shot at “Last Stylebender” for being ranked higher when he “can’t defend a takedown” but he also turned his attention on almost everyone else.
When your ranked over Jon Jones on a pound for pound list but know you can’t defend a take down ???
“It’s funny seeing people have the satisfaction of being ranked over me when I’m not even competing. Just take me off that silly list.”
Lol I guess so, I guess you can have 1/3 of an MMA game and be considered the real deal these days. This is some new shit right here. https://t.co/eq0SkJGCkH
“Lol I guess so, I guess you can have 1/3 of an MMA game and be considered the real deal these days. This is some new shit right here.”
I find it rather interesting that I’m not seeing any of these heavyweights talking shit. No comments on my troubles. It’s the fellows who either wouldn’t fight me or who’s ass I’ve already kicked who seem to be the loudest. Funny how that works

Insomnia
While we’re on the topic of Jon Jones check out the former champion’s head movement in the below clip:
Hasbulla just arrived and he’s already landing a two-piece and soda on “Minotauro” Nogueira. That tickle at the end by “Big Nog” is borderline inappropriate.
Jan Blachowicz caught up with Glover Teixeira before their title fight at UFC 267 to give him a Polish beer for his birthday. Pretty cool stuff from the champ.
Not sure if this is old or new, but it’s incredible. The beating itself is on another level, but what about this guy’s chin? He caught a 30 piece and still kept swinging.
Ritu Phogat got blasted with an illegal upkick at ONE Championship: NextGen only to return fire later in the fight with what looks to be an illegal headbutt.
It’s Halloween weekend and that means we’re about to witness the start of a legendary set of UFC pay-per-views. It starts Saturday night with UFC 267 in Abu Dhabi and then ends with UFC 268 next weekend in New York City. Both cards are incredibly stacked and full of exciting title fight.
Oh yeah, Halloween is also good for candy and awesome stuff like this:

Khamzat Chimaev is looking to bury the hatchet with UFC middleweight contender Darren Till in hopes of helping “Gorilla” touch up his wrestling.
While Chimaev has taken on all comers since his UFC arrival in 2020 the undefeated sensation seems to enjoy mixing it up with Till the most. Of course, “Borz” and Till ended up talking about a hypothetically matchup after dishing out some trash talk, but a fight never materialized.
“Say it to me where you want, I will fight brother. We’ll fight. Bullsh*t guys talk too much but we’ll have to show real fight, brother” Chimaev told Till during an Instagram exchange earlier this year.
“Oh yeah, I’ll fight you. Of course, you know I will. But you know I beat you right? You know I beat you easy. You know this. You know this,” Till said.
Now Chimaev is ready to bury the hatchet and help Till fix his ongoing Octagon woes. After seeing Till get beat up and choked out by Derek Brunson in his last UFC outing Chimaev is hoping that Till will travel to Sweden for some wrestling lessons.
“No, I like this guy, actually,” Chimaev recently told BT Sport. “He’s funny. A funny guy. And I feel sorry for him about last fight, he lose. He lose many fights last time. I think he’s good, but has to train harder…
“No, but if he wants to come to Stockholm, he’s welcome,” Chimaev added. “I told him, I can help you with your wrestling or something. And we can spar, we can train.”
A Chimaev-Till sparring session would be fun to watch, but “Borz” will first have to deal with Li Jingliang in his return to the cage this weekend at UFC 267. Remember, Chimaev has not competed since Sept. 2020 after battling a nasty case of COVID-19 for the past year. He will have to prove himself again this weekend in Abu Dhabi with the whole MMA world watching, including Till.
