Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Joe Rogan consistently finds the best content on the internet. What could be crazier than Russian team MMA?
Russian Team MMA Parkour! Watch these guys double-leg each other clean off five-foot platforms! (which, technically, is against the rules)
The point system is interesting; it’s three 2-minute rounds, with no submissions allowed until the third round. Points are tallied for strikes, takedowns, knockdowns, or eliminations. Guarding certain territories for ten seconds can gain points as well. If a fighter is eliminated, the fight goes to one-minute sudden death, and if the lone fighter can survive the double team for a minute, it goes back to one-one-one MMA.
If you want a longer view, here’s a whole episode. It’s brothers vs. cousins, because of course it is.
Insomnia
In terms of content, Derrick Lewis rivals Rogan for the crazy videos he finds. How is this kid defying physics?
Dustin Poirier’s got his eye on the prize but his feet on the ground.

PFL is going to ESPN, which is going to be interesting having another MMA promotion on cable TV.

I have no idea how the UFC are going to handle Tony Ferguson if he’s not fighting for the interim belt.

This accountant is calling out UFC middleweight Eryk Anders, which seems like an amazing idea with no downside.
To the deranged UFC fighter @erykanders, you have until March 1st to compete these steps. Failure to comply will result in me coming to your gym and challenging you to a sparring match in front of all your peers. Make the right choice pic.twitter.com/gfeuLVPZ8Q

It sounds like Gennady Golovkin is getting equity in DAZN, which is incredible, if true.
If true he got the deal McGregor wanted (equity) https://t.co/J7HCRShKJK
