Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Khabib Nurmagomedov was able to dominate at UFC 254 (HIGHLIGHTS!) And overpowered Justin Gaethje in the second round to get him to sleep with a triangular thrush before immediately retiring. To make the situation even more impressive, Nurmagomedov announced that he had endured a camp from hell. He also came with receipts and took x-rays of his broken toes and feet.
If for any reason you doubt “The Eagle”, the fans of the fight have proven themselves very attentive, noticing a split second in which Khabib’s already injured toe / foot caught the cage. YouTube channel That’s Pretty Neat isolated the moment Nurmagomedov tried to sit on his back with the triangular thrush. When his toe is on the fence, Nurmagomedov’s face is painful.
While his injury hampered the fight for a moment, Nurmagomedov kept his influence to a minimum by ending the choke just moments later. Still … that’s pretty neat!

Is this the coolest use of a win bonus in UFC history?
Who will win the vacant lightweight belt?
Kevin Lee hasn’t released a follow-up yet, but his head tattoo is going wild.
If the dehydrated and hungry athlete seems the more sensible person in an argument, the other is likely to be wrong.
When you’re ready to trade an injury or two for a world title – and most fighters do the former without the latter! – AKA is the place.
The debate between Khabib and Jon Jones has produced some solid memes.

Based on the clip, Zholdoshbekov really fought his way back on sand before landing a very smooth guillotine with a high elbow.
… while Bekbolat abused his enemy with a more straightforward soil abuse.
When the two competed against each other in the final, Zholdoshbekov was awarded the decisive victory. Caposa didn’t post any highlights for this fight, but the entire event can be viewed HERE!
Flashback to Anderson Silva who scored one of the coolest knockouts ever (which as far as I know hasn’t really been repeated!):

A voting goat:
Midnight Music: Industrial hip-hop band Clipping made an entire horror film on their latest release Visions of bodies being burned – The title pays homage to the legendary Geto Boys song “Mind Playing Tricks On Me”. It’s probably not an album I’ll come back to often, but few groups can match its intensity.
Sleep well maniacs! More martial arts madness is always on the way.
