Welcome to Midnight Mania!
UFC Austin was a star-making evening for Adrian Yanez. The Bantamweight prospect picked up his fifth straight win contained in the Octagon, smacking round Tony Kelley for a first-round knockout win (watch highlights). As massive a win because it was for Yanez, it was an equally dangerous loss for Kelley, who missed weight and talked a bunch of trash previous to the smackdown.
Regardless of the clear-cut defeat, Kelley is holding agency on his place. I don’t know exactly what that place is aside from unlikable, however Kelley is now additionally publicly calling for a rematch with Yanez … regardless of being put to sleep inside a spherical only a couple nights in the past!

Yanez cashed a $50,000 bonus check for stopping Kelley, and for that motive, he’s all the way down to do it once more.
That remark sparked a debate between the 2 on their Instagram tales. Kelley responded to the above publish, “Wager he gained’t, he’ll be left with a photograph of me dropping my balls on that chin this time round.”
“You recognize what’s humorous,” Yanez responded. “He tried speaking s—t throughout the battle, acquired punched within the face and shut the f—okay up actual fast.”
Kelley apparently has but to study a lesson from UFC Austin, answering again, “I’m nonetheless speaking for a motive dwelling boy …”
Yanez responded, “Trigger I took your cash, KO’d you, and now you’re a meme.”
After this change, the justifications started. Kelley blames the loss on his weight cut, explaining, “That weight reduce f—ked me up actually and your [sic] skated away with a freebie. You need to be counting your blessings. We each know what you felt whenever you was backpedaling.”
Within the last publish of this saga, Yanez summed all of it up. “You’re nonetheless delusional from these pictures,” Yanez wrote. “I forgive you.”
