Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Donny Aaron, wanted on domestic battery and false imprisonment charges, is still at large. Police have reached out to local MMA gyms after receiving multiple tips, and warn that anyone harboring him could also be charged.
Via MMAJunkie.com:
After receiving multiple tips from the public, investigators have reached out to several gyms “associated with MMA community” and warned that anyone harboring the fugitive MMA coach can be charged with a crime, Shreveport (La.) police spokesperson Angie Willhite told MMAjunkie.
“I don’t know if people understand there are consequences to that,” Willhite said. “If they’re intentionally harboring this man, that’s against the law. You can’t do that, and I would certainly hope that wouldn’t be the case.”
Aaron, a former police officer himself, has done time for shooting and killing an unarmed black man outside his home, and also has a previous domestic abuse charge on his record. He first garnered controversy for displaying a number of Nazi tattoos, declining to have them covered or removed after public backlash.
“You can’t run from this forever,” Willhite said. “We’re going to find him eventually.”
Andrea Lee has declined to comment on the incident, requesting privacy and saying that her career will move forward unaffected. She has been booked to face fellow action fighter Jessica Rose-Clark, herself a survivor of domestic abuse, in a flyweight bout on UFC on Fox 31 in December.

And while I’m on Sengoku 11, Niko Price has a very Dave Herman like vibe to him. Always willing to try out weird but surprisingly effective shit. pic.twitter.com/WpxTf95CoP

Insomnia
Jon Jones came after Daniel Cormier today on social media.
I set you up with several attacks to your body, you begin to protect your belly so I kicked you in your head. but you’re right somehow a steroid metabolite right before the fight made me smarter. You’re the champ champ, I’ll stop dreaming now

Does my big goal somehow offend you? Why the need for name calling

Jon Jones doesn’t like being considered a cheat.
Cormier’s comeback was both dismissive and genuine. He is convinced Jones was indeed on steroids during their two fights.
Ok, that’s actually a good one with yo bitch ass! But you actually were on steroids the little white chick might not be , but you were n***a lmao https://t.co/aYdmcpf28o

Jon Jones has been tested only once this year, but he says he’s still in the program.

Whenever I see the padholder doing more work than the guy hitting…
This new meme has been going around ever since someone changed Cardi B’s “full name” to “Cardigan Backyardigan” so here are some grappling versions.
This woman couldn’t self-defend her way clear of a paper bag
Kaepernik didn’t sacrifice the troops for this, meme guy.
This is a good fight. Bobby Green and Drakkar Klose have both found a lot of success as the unmovable guy.
Slips, Rips, KO Clips
Knockouts from the bottom are wild, and Niko Price’s is right up there among the most shocking.

This one is downright unbelievable. I always make fun of action movies that show something like this happening.

That’s an impressive streak
Germany’s Jonas Billstein (20-5-1) is your new Cage Warriors Middleweight Champion, submitting late replacement Mick Stanton with a first-round RNC. The Bellator and ACB vet rides a six-fight unbeaten streak and has finished 15 of 20 victories, 10 in the first round. #CW96 pic.twitter.com/YK3ylqRkKj

This kind of stuff makes me angry
After a sustained beating at the hands/knees/elbows of Khurshed Kakhorov, this seemed like a good place to stop it. But nah, ref wanted more. pic.twitter.com/2avhJ2gSCh
