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

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Steve-O may be retired from his “Jackass” days, but the entertainer remains a glutton for punishment. He’s also a huge mixed martial arts (MMA) fan — Steve-O broke the news of “Shogun” vs. Nogueira 3! — and once again, his love of suffering and MMA fandom have crossed paths.

Steve-O visited the famed Jackson-Winkeljohn Academy in Albuquerque, New Mexico to challenge some of its premier athletes. First up, Jon Jones can consider this his first victory since his abrupt retirement.

Naturally, Steve-O giggles through the manhandling.

Steve-O took on another former champion in Holly Holm. Did he perform any better against a much smaller foe? Well, he at least managed to attempt a brief takedown … that immediately saw him reversed and put into a terrible position.

That’s title shot worthy grappling from “The Preacher’s Daughter!”

Is there a more unintentionally hilarious person than Tito Ortiz?

Justin Gaethje does not like Dan Hooker’s chances opposite Dustin Poirier in their June 27 main event.

The future of RIZIN does not look bright, which is a pretty bad sign for Japanese MMA as a whole.

Ever wonder how certain fighters look so quick on pads and then fight like they’re moving underwater? Much of the time, their coaches are meeting them at least halfway with the mitt.

Muay Thai legend John Wayne Parr goes 2-0 against Internet dorks, who seem to think they have great insight for the multiple-time champion.

There is literally zero chance that Shane Burgos vs. Josh Emmett is not a ridiculously good fight.

A Jorge Masvidal throwback to his Kimbo Slice street fight days! The idea that “Gamebred” doesn’t want to fight is goofy.

Liam McNeill demonstrates one way to let an opponent provide a majority of the force:

A brutal bare knuckle exchange in the pocket ends with a big left hook.
