Arman Tsarukyan warns Russian fighters of UFC blastlisting: ‘Only us who have no choice’
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, Nov. 11, 2025.
- Latest round of UFC roster cuts claims TUF champion, Heavyweight fan favorite: None of these cuts are surprising or unreasonable, but it’s always sad to see one fewer meme fighter on the roster.
- Dana White backs Mark Zuckerberg to ‘beat the living s—t out of you’: I’ve seen enough Zuckerberg training footage to know that he would certainly beat up the average person, just like every other person who picks up real martial arts casually.
- Islam Makhachev targets Kamaru Usman for first welterweight title defense after UFC 322: I get why Islam would say this, but I absolutely hate it and would much rather see Sean Brady or Shavkat Rakhmonov get the next title opportunity.

A slick bit of grappling from the striking ace! Christian Leroy Duncan has really impressed me in his last two performances, I won’t be picking against him again if I can help it.
Shoutout Vinc Pichel for building his new life after fighting.
If Leon Edwards gets past Carlos Prates at UFC 322, I’d love to see him eventually fight Ian Garry.
Joseph Morales put on a BJJ clinic last weekend at UFC Vegas 111.
“El Cucuy” forever.
The Khabib and Islam relationship is something special.
Slips, rips, and KO clips
I love a good demonstration of actively punishing takedown attempts.
Feint the rear leg, double kick off the lead side — awesome!
One punch changed this man’s whole face.
Random Land
Tiger poetry.
Midnight Music: I’m not a Charli xcx guy really, but I am a longtime Velvet Underground fan, so this is pretty freaking cool!
Sleep well Maniacs! More martial arts madness is always on the way.
