Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
It is a truism at this point that Floyd Mayweather has “trouble” dealing with southpaws. This is usually brought up in conjunction with Conor McGregor’s chances against him. This fight is big enough that everyone has an opinion, ranging from reasonable to bad or just flat-out biased. Floyd, after all, has managed to remain undefeated against every southpaw he has faced, so how bad can his troubles be?
The following two videos take a deep dive into the issue and bring us clarity:

I’m so happy Lawler-Cerrone has been rebooked for UFC 214. Lawler was the most entertaining welterweight champion of all time.
