Riyadh paint job poisons multiple UFC Saudi Arabia fighters – ‘Felt like I was breathing through a tube’

UFC Vegas 107: Newcomer saves lightweight bout on Blanchfield vs. Barber fight card

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Some of the UFC fighters were facing more than their opponents at UFC Saudi Arabia over the weekend (Sat., Feb. 1, 2025) from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Since the event concluded, there have been rumors that one locker room worth of athletes were dealt a negative hand before the card even started. The room had recently been repainted in preparation for the event, and this caused several fighters to have difficulty breathing during warmups and even in the fight.

“I felt it a little bit,” Terrance McKinney explained to Ariel Helwani when asked about nausea and breathing issues from the paint. “This is probably the best cardio I’ve ever had, running five miles every other day, and I felt it from the paint. They tried to help us by taking some of the ceiling off, but like I said, it affected [Lucas Alexander’s] breathing. He had to go to the hospital two times, and Mike Davis was feeling it too. A lot of fighters were feeling it.”

McKinney, who won his bout in just a couple minutes, isn’t alone in feeling the effects.

“I’m telling you,” UFC Lightweight Mike Davis added. “I was not myself out there. I was out of breathe shadow boxing for the camera. Felt like I was breathing through a tube the whole fight.”

Davis, unfortunately, lost his own match up versus Fares Ziam, snapping a four-fight win streak. Indeed, “Beast Boy” looked off on fight night, pulling guard and looking fatigued in the opening minutes of the contest. He already revealed pre-fight injuries as one factor, but it doesn’t sound like bogus fumes helped his cause.

Insomnia

Dricus Du Plessis championship mentality!

This is a much more respectable game than Power Slap … but I still don’t want to play.

A slick mount escape from one of the best grappler’s alive.

I have a lot of respect for Michael Page’s candor and self-awareness, because Alex Pereira is accurately the worst possible striker match up for him in the entire UFC. The power difference + size difference + invisible calf kicks …

Working the heavy bag is an essential way to keep punches snappy in exhausting fights.

A great Middleweight booking provided it ends by the eight minute mark.

Michael Bisping vs. Georges St. Pierre 2!

BJ Penn conspiracy theory posting used to be fun, now it’s utterly depressing even as someone who actively cheered against the Hawaiian legend back in the day.

Slips, rips, and KO clips

Stepped in deep with the back leg on the initial 1-2 for a massive payoff.

Raise the guard, hit the body.

Parker Porter, absolute legend.

Random Land

Bug warfare.

Midnight Music: The Beatles won a grammy for a (sort of) new song in the year of 2025, absolutely wild.

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