Midnight Mania! KO Loss Might Force Strickland To ‘Live Under A F—king Bridge’

Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight!

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Sean Strickland has always been a loose cannon outside of the cage, but the middleweight contender is scaring some fight fans with the way he’s handling his recent knockout loss to Alex Pereira at UFC 276 earlier this month.

Strickland was riding a five-fight win streak in the middleweight division before biting the bullet and accepting a fight with Pereira. While Strickland is a solid striking in his own right Pereira is a former two-division GLORY kickboxing champion who is famous for being the only fighter to ever knockout UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya. As expected, Strickland stood and exchanged with Pereira at UFC 276, which allowed “Poatan” to score a devastating first-round knockout finish and line himself up for a title fight with Adesanya.

We are now a few weeks removed from the fight and Strickland can’t seem to get a hold of himself. During a recent interview with The Schmo, Strickland revealed that his recent knockout loss could turn him to drugs and a life on the streets.

“You know Schmo, I’m going through some hard f—king times, man,” he said. “You see the beard, the hair, you know? I might start doing drugs, I might start drinking a little bit — live under a f—king bridge. That’s kinda how I feel right now.”

Hopefully Strickland is just talking for shock value like he sometimes does because he’s too talented to throw away a life of professional fighting.

I believe this is an old clip but worth a share.

This is genius.

Should we believe that Alexander Gustafsson is really back?

Lorenz Larkin fired his shot!

Still scary despite being six months out from a return.

Loving the Prison Break callout.

This video is tremendous.

Love seeing this type of stuff. MMA comes full circle quite a bit.

Michael Chandler will stop at nothing to get his chance at Conor McGregor. This is about the 15th callout in the past two years. Have to respect the persistence.

Vitor Belfort’s son, Davi, has reclassified for the class of 2024. The high school football standout had already received interest from Alabama and other prestigious NCAA landing spots. Full story HERE.

“The ’24 class is the one I’m supposed to be in so I’m excited to compete with the other guys in my class,” Belfort told 247Sports. “It’s going to speed up the recruiting process for me but I’ve already had some really good talks with a lot of the college coaches recruiting me and they’re excited about the move for me as well.”

BANGER ALERT!

This entire toilet is immediately getting tossed.

They should lock the toilet snake up in this 1840’s Italian safe.

Why are bears still included in circus acts?

Sleep well Maniacs! More martial arts madness and random chaos is always on the way.
