Welcome to Midnight Mania!

The UFC is looking to book Valentina Shevchenko versus Jessica Eye for the flyweight championship this June at UFC 238, according to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto. UFC 238 is slated for June 8 in Chicago’s United Center.

Shevchenko won the flyweight title in a showdown with former strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk, after the UFC stripped Nicco Montano when Montano ended up in the hospital after a bad weight cut. Shevchenko’s only losses in the UFC are two close decisions to bantamweight and featherweight champion Amanda Nunes.

Jessica Eye is also a bantamweight transplant, and has won three straight since dropping to 125, though two of those wins are by split decision. In a young, still-growing division, Eye has earned a title shot as much as anyone. Originally training out of the same gym as Stipe Miocic in Ohio, Eye recently relocated to Las Vegas.

Shevchenko looks prepared already.

This is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen in a mixed martial arts fight

He was suspended for this awesome throw, and rightly so. Violence has no place in hockey.

Over the top

Apparently this finish was allowed to stand

Ouch

Some nice knees today

This never gets old. Eddie Abasolo landed a wicked spinning elbow

This Presidency is wild in ways totally unconnected with where on the political spectrum you fall. This is definitely not Melania! Some of the best replies to this tweet include “Happy Interchangeable Women’s Day” and “The fact that they’re holding hands was the giveaway.”
