Welcome to Midnight Mania!<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start the night off by taking look back over the three biggest stories of Thursday, April 24, 2025.<\/p>\n
Insomnia<\/strong><\/p>\n I have a strong suspicion that Eddie Hearn announcing Gervonta Davis vs. Jake Paul is more of a troll than a leak.<\/p>\n Mike Perry sparring footage is a pillar of this column.<\/p>\n Yoel Romero reflects on his bout versus Tim Kennedy, perhaps the most controversial moment of his career.<\/p>\n Carlos Prates has become a fan favorite fighter in a very short time. Knocking people out easily and ripping cigs would appear to be a winning combo!<\/p>\n Conor McGregor still has his weight transfer mechanics.<\/p>\n This is payback to every coach that\u2019s ever yelled about keeping shadowboxing realistic.<\/p>\n New fighter nickname just dropped.<\/p>\n Movsar Evloev\u2019s grip strength is clearly no joke, an underrated asset in MMA.<\/p>\n Ludovit Klein called for this match up on social media and actually got it! I doubt UFC matchmakers were too upset about sending Mateusz Gamrot on a side quest down the rankings.<\/p>\n Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/strong><\/p>\n Manny Gamburyan feels like a forgotten fighter. He was handling Nate Diaz back in the day before his shoulder dislocated!<\/p>\n Prates\u2019 highlight reel is outstanding.<\/p>\n Carlos Prates has an incredible highlight reel Will he be able to add Ian Garry to the reel, or will the Irishman halt the Fighting Nerds’ momentum? pic.twitter.com\/R9FUpXXk38<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Liam Picks Fights (@LiamPicksFights) April 17, 2025<\/a>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n A good display of using kicks to push an opponent towards the feint, then threatening kicks to set up punches.<\/p>\n Random Land<\/strong><\/p>\n Fight back against the robots. Resist.<\/p>\n Midnight Music: Experimental, 2015<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Sleep well Maniacs! More martial arts madness is always on the way.<\/p>\n\n
