Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Sean Strickland is sort of precisely 24 hours away from his UFC 302 co-main occasion slot versus Paulo Costa, a highly-anticipated Middleweight match up that might earn the victor a title shot. It’s a vastly essential combat for Strickland, one that might set him up for large rematches towards Dricus Du Plessis or Israel Adesanya.
Regardless of the important upcoming match up, Strickland has time for varied beefs this week. He’s already taken UFC to job for crappy paychecks and a botched glove revamp, in addition to verbally attacked a robotic for complimenting Conor McGregor’s attractiveness. When comic Jon-Bernard Kairouz introduced up Belal Muhammad — who’s been actively trashing Strickland in current weeks — the previous Middleweight champion didn’t maintain again.
“Such a f—king little bitch bro,” Strickland stated of Muhammad. “Each time I see this motherf—ker in individual, I’m at all times like ‘Hey, Belal Muhammad, you f—king Miaman, wherever the f—okay you’re from, let’s deal with this s—t!’ He places his head down and goes away, and little f—king twiddle thumbs will get on the twiddler and begins speaking shit.
“Pay attention dude: go to f—king Palestine. Go f—king combat to your f—king nation. Get the f—okay out of right here, you f—king can.”
As for the way Muhammad fares in his upcoming title bout versus Leon Edwards? “I feel Leon goes to f—king starch him!”
This feud has been occurring for years now, and sadly, there’s no reconciliation or combat reserving in sight. Each males are proper within the title mixture of their potential divisions, however till Muhammad jumps to 185-pounds or Strickland cuts again all the way down to Welterweight, it looks like to stay a social media scrap.
… Or possibly they collide on the UFC PI?
Insomnia
Ponzinibbio vs. Salikhov is such good matchmaking. Veteran Welterweight strikers collide!
Jiri Prochazka frolicked coaching with Shaolin monks! The previous Mild Heavyweight king has been on loads of attention-grabbing facet quests recently.
That is fairly a random mixture of UFC stars taking up the bumper automobile monitor.

So, uhh, UFC’s newest sponsor feels like a bunch of nonsense.
A compilation of Dustin Poirier’s makes an attempt on the guillotine! It actually solely goes flawed when he jumps guard.
A lightweight spar between Middleweight champions:
The WWE and UFC synergy factor is basically occurring.
Slips, rips, and KO clips
Angled the knee proper underneath the armpit and hit the chin completely.
This excessive kick was thrown on the good peak, simply over the shoulder and on the high of the top.
This ringside footage of a brutal clinch assault is downright gnarly.
Random Land
A flowery peacock.
