Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Wednesday, Sept. 3, 2025.

2. Losing streak over! Colby Covington makes social media star puke in UFC PI smackdown: What number step is this on the UFC fighter to influencer pipeline?
3. Busted! UFC pirates weep after illegal streaming network with over a billion views gets zapped during global raid: Like the heads of the fabled Hydra, streaming websites pop up quicker than they can be decapitated.
