Welcome to Midnight Mania! The idea for the billionairevs. billionaire brawl between Tesla’s Elon Musk and Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg has only been circulating since the end of June, but the hype built quickly.

What a massive effort for the New Yorker just a few days ahead of his teammate and training partner Aljamain Sterling stepping into the Octagon. He’s now won four straight since his loss to UFC prospect and DWCS alum Christian Rodriguez, and probably punched his ticket to the UFC with this performance.
‘The Last Emperor’ famously retired from the sport of MMA earlier this year after his rematch with Ryan Bader. Four years after suffering a first-round stoppage loss to ‘Darth’, the rematch went the same way. In the main event of Bellator 290, Fedor Emelianenko suffered a first-round knockout loss. Following the defeat, the Russian legend

Eddie Hearn didn’t think much of the Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz fight. Earlier this month, Paul and Diaz finally faced off in a highly anticipated boxing match, with Paul winning a unanimous decision after 10 rounds of spirited action.

Adesanya warns du Plessis “Definitely, (Chimaev could pass Du Plessis). But again, I do wanna fight Dricus,” Adesanya said. “But he has to know, he’s not calling the shots here.

Amanda Lemos will challenge Zhang Weili for the UFC strawweight championship on Saturday in the co-main event of UFC 292 in Boston, and the last woman to beat her predicts an upset at the TD Garden.
