Midnight Mania! UFC Sends Media To A Sex Hotline!

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

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

The higher ups of the UFC have never exactly loved many of the media members, but this is a new low! When a few members of the media attempted to call in to the UFC 242 media conference call for a chat with interim Lightweight kingpin Dustin Poirier, they were instead directed to a sex line.

Somehow, I have a feeling that the phone number dialed was not quite as “toll free” as advertised.

As it turns out, two of the numbers were simply swapped, resulting in the unintentional gaffe. Ultimately, it’s a fairly harmless mistake that gave me a very easy “weird and wild” headline, so I can only hope the next UFC mix up is even more indecent and entertaining.

Insomnia

Tony Ferguson is getting antsy.

Speaking of stir crazy, let’s get Sean O’Malley off the ostarine and in the Octagon.

“Wonderboy” continues his offensive on the nation’s youth:

Were you aware that Vasiliy Lomachenko has some skills? Now you are!

This is a great drill and explanation of it from an expert Muay Thai coach for those dedicated enough to give it a go.

Will these clips ever stop being funny? Doesn’t seem likely.

Getting mat returned into a pile of sand by Gregor Gillespie sounds less than ideal.

Slips, rips, and KO clips

A pretty perfect right hand KO:

Lockard waited way too long to address the threat of the arm triangle — once it’s in, it’s over.

Dustin Akbari pulled off some wild submissions at the ADCC trials.

Random Land

Good to see Dennis Rodman staying sober.

I don’t know that I understand the point of this structure, but it’s interesting to look at if nothing else!

Midnight Music: You don’t need me to tell you this is a great song/album — it’s understood by all.

Sleep well Maniacs! More martial arts madness is always on the way.
