Welcome to Midnight Mania!
One of many larger — and positively extra shocking — narratives of the UFC 303 struggle week has been black magic.
For the second time, “Czech Samurai” Jiri Prochazka will go to battle with Alex Pereira, the power-punching kickboxer turned UFC double champ. “Poatan” received their first match final 12 months by way of second-round knockout in mildly controversial trend, however actually, no person wants a lot promoting on the concept of a rematch. It’s practically assured to be a terrific struggle, brutal stoppage, or each.
Prochazka, nevertheless, has a novel cause to be unhappy with the primary bout. In keeping with a weird rant from “BJP,” Pereira is utilizing Shaman magic to assist him win fights, which is unhealthy kind. Prochazka requested that Pereira cease doing so and struggle him on extra trustworthy phrases, however the champion denied his request.
What does UFC CEO Dana White take into consideration all this black magic, shaman, and witchcraft speak? Surprisingly, he loves it! White believes this sudden flip within the dialogue serves as a terrific demonstration of authenticity from Prochazka and Pereira.
It’s not some foolish WWE plotline.
“I really like that s—t although. When Jiri came upon in regards to the struggle, apparently he goes right into a shed for 3 days. No water, no meals, no nothing,” White defined (by way of Curtis Calhoun). “Prays, meditates, no matter he does. His coach went and banged on the door, instructed him this struggle was out there, and he mentioned one thing to the impact of ‘If that is what the universe needs’. So he’s that dude!
“So he sees him doing the Shaman stuff … witchcraft, black magic, it’s simply one more reason that this struggle is so f—king superior. That is actual, this isn’t fabricated bulls—t when somebody needs to return out with a gimmicky wrestling-type factor. That is who these two guys actually f—king are, man, that is what makes folks actually love [the UFC]. You already know when somebody is genuine, versus some bulls—t f—king wrestling s—t.”

Payton Talbott affords his opponent some fairly particular recommendation.
It’s not the most secure profession path, however Jessica Andrade deserves severe respect for routinely leaping as much as 125 lbs. and difficult the division’s hottest up-and-comers.
The closely rumored match up between Kevin Holland and Jared Cannonier doesn’t sound prefer it’s taking place.
