Welcome to Midnight Mania!
How’s everyone liking the new look here at MMAmania.com? How about The Feed? I’m optimistic that it’ll be a cool place to hang out!
Anyway, let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2025.
Michael Bisping MIGHT have squared off with a hammer-wielding serial killer arsonist.
I’ll confess that I didn’t know knockdowns were even possible in pillow fighting. Judging by this clip, it appears the only two attacks are overhand and spin move, but maybe I just have a lot left to learn?
Rinya Nakamura is an icon! Just from my personal experience: every Japanese MMA fighter I’ve trained with parties quite hard after winning a fight, seems like part of the culture!
It’s nice to see the beef fully squashed between Israel Adesanya and Dricus Du Plessis.
Per the OP, this is a clip of Lucas Sorin, a Sanda Fighter from Brazil. Rad!
Light Heavyweight is an incredible division. There is no floor to how badly you can perform and still receive another opportunity!
Slips, rips, and KO clips
The Ruotolo brothers are so fun to watch, inspiring front chokes.
Watching your opponent visibly fold from a body shot is a great feeling.
This didn’t look anything like an armbar until the tap, impressive recovery of the elbow joint that seemed on its way out.
Cats don’t have fall damage.
Midnight Music: I really enjoyed this demo of a track I already knew well.
Sleep well Maniacs! More martial arts madness is always on the way.
