Midnight Mania: Is Nickal Vs. Colby On?!? ‘See You Soon’
· Yahoo Sports
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of
Visit asg-reflektory.pl for more information.
- Highlights! Gable Steveson shakes off wild wheel kick, remains undefeated with another quick KO: I thought Steveson looked pretty raw in his third pro fight. Heavyweight is so weak it probably doesn’t matter much outside the rankings, but he’ll need time before he contends.
- Fighter admits to tripping on LSD during UFC fight in Canada: I know fighters who micro dose on mushrooms before training, but this is a different level.
- Jake Paul hospitalized, forced into second surgery (Pic): I can only assume Paul yapped so much that the screws in his jaw came free.
Insomnia
It sounds like Bo Nickal vs. Colby Covington might actually happen at the White House? I’ll be shocked if this is true.
I have a lot of respect for Colby Covington as a competitor and someone who never backs down from a challenge. The Real American way. See you soon @ColbyCovMMA@ufc@danawhite@realDonaldTrump@paramountplus

Interesting stats regarding Anthony Hernandez’s takedown percentages and overall style. “Fluffy” may be a bit of a slow starter but also pushes one hell of a pace!
If Fluffy is failing takedowns early, don't panic too hard .. he only has a 48% takedown accuracy overall .. but in the first round of his last 6 fights it's an ever worse 25% accuracy (10 of 42 Takedowns Landed)

Touching the lead leg and jumping into a knee is a simple idea, but it’s difficult to do fluidly.

Shifting stances before the spin is an unusual setup you don’t see too often.

50 full seconds of swanging-and-banging is quite a long trade.
