Midnight Mania! UFC 302’s Sean Strickland unloads on keyboard warrior, Belal ‘Twiddle Thumbs’ Muhammad

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Sean Strickland is sort of precisely 24 hours away from his UFC 302 co-main occasion slot versus Paulo Costa, a highly-anticipated Middleweight match up that would earn the victor a title shot. It’s a vastly necessary combat for Strickland, one that would set him up for massive rematches towards Dricus Du Plessis or Israel Adesanya.

Regardless of the very important upcoming match up, Strickland has time for varied beefs this week. He’s already taken UFC to task for crappy paychecks and a botched glove revamp, in addition to verbally attacked a robot for complimenting Conor McGregor’s attractiveness. When comic Jon-Bernard Kairouz introduced up Belal Muhammad — who’s been actively trashing Strickland in current weeks — the previous Middleweight champion didn’t maintain again.

“Such a f—king little bitch bro,” Strickland mentioned of Muhammad. “Each time I see this motherf—ker in individual, I’m all the time like ‘Hey, Belal Muhammad, you f—king Miaman, wherever the f—okay you’re from, let’s deal with this s—t!’ He places his head down and goes away, and little f—king twiddle thumbs will get on the twiddler and begins speaking shit.

“Hear dude: go to f—king Palestine. Go f—king combat on your f—king nation. Get the f—okay out of right here, you f—king can.”

As for a way Muhammad fares in his upcoming title bout versus Leon Edwards? “I feel Leon goes to f—king starch him!”

This feud has been going on for years now, and sadly, there’s no reconciliation or combat reserving in sight. Each males are proper within the title mixture of their potential divisions, however till Muhammad jumps to 185-pounds or Strickland cuts again all the way down to Welterweight, it looks like to stay a social media scrap.

… Or perhaps they collide at the UFC PI?

Insomnia

Ponzinibbio vs. Salikhov is such good matchmaking. Veteran Welterweight strikers collide!

Jiri Prochazka hung out coaching with Shaolin monks! The previous Mild Heavyweight king has been on a whole lot of attention-grabbing aspect quests recently.

That is fairly a random mixture of UFC stars taking over the bumper automotive observe.

So, uhh, UFC’s newest sponsor appears like a bunch of nonsense.

A compilation of Dustin Poirier’s makes an attempt on the guillotine! It actually solely goes improper when he jumps guard.

A lightweight spar between Middleweight champions:

The WWE and UFC synergy factor is absolutely taking place.

Slips, rips, and KO clips

Angled the knee proper underneath the armpit and hit the chin completely.

This excessive kick was thrown on the good peak, simply over the shoulder and on the high of the pinnacle.

This ringside footage of a brutal clinch assault is downright gnarly.

Random Land

A flowery peacock.
