Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight …
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Kids are dicks sometimes. In particular, this kid, who punched his dad’s opponent, Willie Monroe Jr., in the dick at weigh ins. Stevie Saunders is apparently seven years old.
His dad, Billy Joe Saunders, had an excuse for his child’s “self defense.”
My sons been taught when A stranger puts their hands on them they don’t know punch and run away self defence @boxnationtv @frankwarren_tv

That’s … not a great excuse. He patted him on the head. Not a reason for a dick punch. At least the dads are going to fight tomorrow night. Saunders, the kid’s dad, is defending his WBO middleweight championship for the second time.
Insomnia
It is exhausting having to be a salesman all the time, which may explain why Dana White, whose job as a promoter is to sell fights around the year, got real honest for this ticket sale announcement.

Conor McGregor likes the blacklights as well as the limelight.
Gotta admit, I chuckled on the inside.

Body knees don’t cause as many KOs as they should, given how painful they can be.
well placed knee and it’s over

What a duck-under …
Speaking of Masuto-ou, saw a highlight from Day4 with a move made on him by a rikishi many think has potential. Rare indeed. #Sumo pic.twitter.com/HvUUkUor0Q
