Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
After nearly four years of his fans shouting ‘13 seconds’ at every available opportunity, Conor McGregor has reviewed the tape and decided that his knockout of Jose Aldo took place 12 seconds in, not 13. He offers video proof!
It was 12!
Look at this gif closely everyone and watch the clock.
Referee Big John steps in at 4.48 seconds of the very first round.
That’s 12 seconds!
I demand it corrected before anymore talks commence.
And yes that’s right,
I smoked that boy in a gif.
Now pass me my whiskey. https://t.co/AlK5t91gJJ— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) March 30, 2019
McGregor was having fun with words today. Is he saying he will be back to the sport he just claimed to retire from day before yesterday? Or does he mean a return to boxing? Or does he just mean selling more whiskey?
A Proper Twelve second demolition job.
The numbers don’t lie.
Have that changed, I be back in a giffy.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) March 30, 2019
McGregor’s insistence on rebranding his greatest knockout got some deserved backlash from the internet.
Insomnia

He tried to kick this guy’s ass and instantly regretted it. That’s some Chuck Norris joke level MMA.
brilliant finish – the toe to the the iron ass

Vitor Belfort is presumably back on the good stuff in ONE.
It cannot be overstated how stoked I am for Justin Gaethje vs. Edson Barboza.
Moraes on Moraes violence!
I’m not entirely convinced that Sheymon Moraes isn’t just Cody Garbrandt’s Brazilian stunt double. #UFConESPN2 pic.twitter.com/FU4Ao25Jq9

The chokes and big throws are great, but these little details are cool too.
A real thing Kevin Holland did in a fight because he just doesn’t care.

Ah, that famous style of knockout where one skirts both the 12-6 elbow rule and the back-of-the-head rule.

Imagine getting rocked, thinking you got the takedown and coming to, only to find yourself on top of the ref. Rude awakening.
