Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Sometimes, things just don’t come out right, and that’s okay. Artist Adam Nelson decided to have some fun with this poster he made, but ultimately wasn’t happy with.

He decided to draw the UFC champions and contenders… with mullets.

I’ll be honest… Henry Cejudo looks amazing. The former Olympian should think about adopting this mustache and hair for his permanent look.

Demetrious Johnson just looks strange with a mullet. He’s such a clean-cut, professional fighter, both in his near-flawless technique and in his interviews, that a mullet just seems out of place on him.

I can see the TJ Dillshaw mullet… but why does the KO’ed version of Cody Garbrandt wear these sunglasses??
— adam nelson (@GorillaTheBear) August 2, 2018
Cody Garbrandt, who actually takes meticulous care of his hair and beard at all times, looks the most true to life of any of these fighters, which is frightening. Maybe it’s the Ohio roots- if it’s anything like rural Pennsylvania or western New York or where I grew up, there are surely more than a few Ohio natives who still rock a mullet.

Sometimes mistakes can be a good thing in the end. Cody Garbrandt and Henry Cejudo both attempt to make their own lemonade out of lemons in their rematches this weekend, each fighter professing to have learned from their mistakes against Dillashaw and Johnson, respectively. Their tasks, presumably, won’t be as easy as painting mullets on canvas. They must paint violence in the Octagon better than their opponents, or wind up in no man’s land in their divisions.
Insomnia
Belal Muhammad says that fighters lie about their weight cuts… could that be worrying for Henry Cejudo?
When a fighter says how much weight they have left to cut always add 5-7 more pounds https://t.co/0ObQd0pyIv

Colby Covington Goes to the White House
The memes were happening
“Great champion. Most people don’t realize wrestling is allowed in UFC fighting. Cody’s win over Ralph was a tremendous victory, maybe the biggest since my electoral landslide over Hillary. 306 to 232. Can you believe it, folks? And nobody gave me a chance. All the polls said–” pic.twitter.com/Hy21T2ICFF

It’s great that Colby got to use his belt that Dana is planning on stripping soon.
Trump supporter Ben Askren was confused
I thought Colby got stripped of this belt and Till got the shot. https://t.co/3Vku59JlCr

The memes went on and on

Remember when Demetrious Johnson effortlessly destroyed Henry Cejudo?

Old, but remarkable KO by Ricardo Ramos over Justin Rader. He knocks Rader down moving backwards on one foot.

Choke
Maxim Grishin (28-7) taps Rakim Cleveland with a stuffy RNC, securing a high seed in the LHW playoffs. The Akhmat champ is 16-1 in his last 17; he has finished 20 of his career victories. #PFL5 pic.twitter.com/S6KqKzEqQu
