UFC 322’s Islam defends ‘great person’ Khabib from Ronda Rousey attack
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Friday, Nov. 14, 2025.
- UFC 322 weigh-ins results: Beneil Dariush misses weight for second time: I’ll confess that I totally forgot until writing this that Beneil Dariush missed weight back in 2020 against Scott Holtzman. Think this affects his UFC 322 showing?
- No cake? Islam Makhachev still dealt with ‘significant’ weight cut for UFC 322: I would guess Makhachev is cutting 10-15 pounds of water instead of 20-25.
- Report: Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua is official, date set for monstrous Miami madness on Netflix – ‘Done deal’: I will believe Paul vs. Joshua happens when both men are in the ring and not a moment before. It goes against Paul’s entire established strategy!

Islam Makhachev defends Khabib from Ronda Rousey’s recent criticism:
Daniel Cormier could get unlucky here, I’ve seen Jailton Almeida throw actual punches in one of his 10 UFC fights. That’s a 10% chance of getting hit!
A look into Tenshin Nasukawa’s champ camp sparring:
A neat tidbit from Madison Square Garden:
This is a really fair answer from the former champion. A lot of people have already forgotten how sharp Jamahal Hill was looking prior to the Achilles injury …
A look back at how Alexander Volkanovski and Craig Jones answered Islam Makhachev’s wrestling in the first meeting:
On this event’s episode of STAPH WATCH, I declare these photos inconclusive.
Slips, rips, and KO clips
Every finish from Jack Della Maddalena’s UFC career! That man has brick in his hands.
Even in slow-motion, I didn’t see the kill shot coming until it landed.
Pulled back into the opposite stance then rebounded forward with a 1-2 — that’s a Tony Ferguson special.

Ice climbing in the Cerro Torre range is serious business.
