Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Whatever your criticisms of the UFC president, you have to hand it to him: Dana White is a master of hypocrisy whenever there is money involved. In the case of Conor McGregor, where hundreds of millions are potentially at stake, White is truly generous when it comes to letting bygones be bygones. (He has to keep paying for those million-dollar birthday parties, after all) The same man who banned Jason High for life for shoving a referee has decided Conor McGregor — who chucked a dolly at a bus in Brooklyn, injuring two fighters and causing three fight cancellations in an act White called “the most disgusting thing that has every happened in the history of the company” — has paid his dues.

Via MMAJunkie.com:

“Conor has faced a lot of repercussions,” White said after UFC on FOX 30 weigh-ins. “Conor has lost a lot of money and a lot of time. Conor and I are good. We’re good.”

McGregor’s plea deal avoided a felony charge, and instead called for anger management classes and five days of community service. White is now targeting a fight between McGregor and undefeated current lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov for UFC 229 on October 6.

He also gave a nod to the forgotten man at lightweight, former interim champion Tony Ferguson.

“I would love to put (Ferguson) on the same card as Khabib and Conor,” White said.

Jon Jones is just now every single dude on Facebook who posts a shirtless selfie with a semi-spiritual caption he thinks is deep, and also, he assumes, will inspire thirst for him among women.

I was not aware Eddie Alvarez had a Japanese nickname- ‘American Knuckle Star’, which I now prefer over ‘Underground King’.

Cub Swanson staring at Jose Aldo from behind is indeed hilarious
