Rematch?!? Biblical Bryce Mitchell challenges ‘indoctrinated’ Ilia Topuria to Flat Earth debate

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2025.

Bryce Mitchell really woke up one day and decided to make Flat Earth his entire brand. What percentage of the human population is a Christian that also believes the Earth is round? Probably a pretty high number?!?

Eddie Alvarez is one of the best outside boxers in MMA history, particularly if we’re talking about men who didn’t typically compete with a huge height/reach advantage.

Canelo vs. Crawford is nothing more than two professionals at the top of their game. I like this!

Demetrious Johnson has to be one of the most disrespected champions ever. UFC couldn’t stand him!

MMA fighters with Sanda backgrounds are fun to watch 100% of the time.

I always enjoy when a UFC fighter push their unsigned team mates, and the athletes usually know who’s ready for the big show.

A quick recap of some of the highlights of Paul Craig, one of the more unique fighters of the last decade. I actually was there live for his UFC debut submission win, and I remember being totally shocked that a guard pulled work back in 2016 … there were many more to come!

I would love some guesses in regards to what Jiri Prochazka’s latest “evolution” will look like.

Slips, rips, and KO clips

Love the lead hand feint/fight into the rear high kick:

This clip is a reason to go to your local amateur MMA show. You never know what you’re going to see …

The double jab misses yet still closes distance, allowing the right hand to land perfectly on the button.
