Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Friday, June 20, 2025.
PFL 6 results, World Tournament 2025 live streaming highlights | Rabadanov vs. Lee: I regret to inform you that, once again, Kevin Lee has been smashed inside a round.
Video: Joey Diaz was tripping balls in UFC 316 viral meme, not creeping on Kayla Harrison – ‘I’m going to jail!’: Joey Diaz should always be assumed to be stoned in some capacity.
‘Menace’ Conor McGregor shares photos from violent Ibiza holiday: Conor McGregor’s relationship to Ibiza is becoming like Jon Jones’ Las Vegas situation.
Insomnia
First the taser, now bribing team mates? Dricus Du Plessis’ coach is an innovative man. If “DDP” means 10,000 South African Rand, that’s about $600, which is still amusing and solid money in Cape Town.
Adrian Peterson getting into a fistfight over a poker game feels extremely on brand for the former Minnesota Viking.
Chatri Sityodtong is the cockiest man who is constantly losing money that I’ve ever seen.
There’s more than meets the eye to Myktybek Orolbai!
“Yes, I have this a law degree. I’m a lawyer. I already finished university, but I haven’t worked yet. I have a goal right now and that is to get a UFC title. Once I get my UFC title then I’m going to pursue my career as a lawyer.”

Example number one million: MMA is the world’s most roundabout path to becoming a firefighter, cop, or real estate agent.
Islam Makhachev is masterful with the short d’arce, I’m curious if many other fighters will be able to implement it.
I enjoyed Dominick Cruz’s poetic thoughts on weight cutting here. There is a perverse joy to knowing it’s entirely up to you and your tolerance for suffering!
Slips, rips, and KO clips
I have a hard time believing this will ever be more than a sideshow, but it’s entertaining.
Most people don’t know what it’s like to be hit in the nose, let alone have their knees wobble.
I’ve seen happen so many times in street fights where a guy just quits after getting hit one good time. 90% of people just want to hit you. They don’t really want to fight. I would suggest knowing you have a little dog in you before you pick a street fight.#fights #MMATwitter pic.twitter.com/KNWcZOP0o0
