Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight!

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Colby Covington is taking his heel status to new heights. When he won his interim title last year, he donned his best “Make America Great Again” hat and brought the title to the white house for some face time with President Donald Trump.

Per “Chaos,” his continued support — and dare I say friendship? — with the Trump family will continue on Saturday, as the two eldest sons of the president, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, will supposedly be in attendance to watch Covington compete.

The entire short interview is a truly awkward and uncomfortable art piece. Covington goes on the discuss what President Trump’s martial arts strengths might be — boxing, apparently — and also says he “might have to speak at his RNC (Republican National Convention) next year.”

I’ll set the line at 10-1 that this is all nonsense. Any takers?

Brian Ortega with a nasty low kick is an exciting concept.

Deiveson Figueiredo vs. Alexandre Pantoja proved to be an amazing fight, but there really weren’t any big names on the UFC 240 prelims.

Demetrious Johnson walks us through his latest submission win.

This quote from “Wonderboy” made me laugh.

Johnny Walker responds to Corey Anderson’s callout:

A 16-year-old just made upwards of $3,000,000 for winning a Fortnite tournament, but Mike Perry is here to keep things in perspective.

This is going to be a scrap, but I thought Winn was heading to 170 lbs.?

Shaq next to anyone is hilarious.

Good scrambling is as much a mentality as it is technique!

Midnight Music: Angel Olsen is a very talented songwriter with a special and unique voice. Her 2016 LP My Woman was among the best of the year, but she announced a new album for the fall and released a new, fairly experimental first single today! Below is the catchiest cut from My Woman.

Sleep well Maniacs! There’s always more martial arts madness on the way.
