Midnight Mania! Watch kid sneak backstage at McGregor-Mayweather press conference in London

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

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Have you seen the kid who sneaked backstage at the McGregor-Mayweather press conference with fake credentials, and got within inches of Conor McGregor? His name is Zac Alsop, and he wanted to ask a very important question: Would Conor rather fight twenty duck-sized Mayweather or one Mayweather-sized duck? Find out the vital answer by watching the video above, and get a backstage look at the insanity that was the McGregor-Mayweather press tour.

Watch the top five moments while you are at it.

Insomnia

Cormier and Jones have been particularly heated lately. Jones’ trolling has ramped up to eleven, and Cormier seems less and less bothered by it.

O you comment creeping now. Reading em, you are real deep on my page. Wow I’m amazed! And you say ur in my head? Smh pic.twitter.com/uKma5CHpSv

Cormier had gone after Jones (who has been looking particularly jacked of late) in a Facebook post, and Jones came back with a tweetstorm.

So I have a limp dick? When’s the last time you spoke with the Mrs. what grown man comments on another man’s dick anyways

I have zero respect for you bitch you’re going to really hate me by the time I’m done with you

See his fucked up hairline? Dude couldn’t get a sixpack if his life depended on it. Definitely don’t mention genetics pussy

— Jon Bones Jones (@JonnyBones) July 18, 2017

And this asshole has the nerve to comment on my “leg genetics” has he looked in the mirror?

Forget McGregor vs. Mayweather. UFC 214 is the fight card MMA fans should be amped for.

If you have HBO, be sure to watch the special on Ramzan Kadryov, featuring the work of MMA journalist Karim Zidan. MMA fighters such as Fabricio Werdum, Chris Weidman, and Frank Mir have taken money from the brutal dictator. Here’s the chilling trailer, in which Kadyrov denies having any gays in Chechnya, and tells the interviewer that Canada can take them, if they exist, to purify the blood:

Here’s the guy who produced the report:

I spoke to David Scott ahead of his @RealSportsHBO report on Ramzan Kadyrov. Was he afraid for his safety? LISTEN: https://t.co/ezr4yJm32l

Khabib Nurmagomedov punching a fan in the gut. He didn’t pull it either. That was a solid punch.

This is pretty inspiring to me (because I also have basically no money)

65 Days ago, I had $115 in my bank account and walked into Dallas fighting for my career. Don’t ever quit.
