Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Few people are envious of Megan Anderson who was less than 24 hours removed from her UFC 259 title fight against Amanda Nunes. It’s a great opportunity to be sure, but Nunes is a striking 10-1 favorite over the Australian, and ‘Lioness’ usually wins no less than a penalty kick.
UFC president Dana White spoke to Jim Rome and explained that (stop me if you’ve heard it before) Nunes looks better than ever before and has beaten her male training partners.
“She’s one of my all time favorites,” White said (via MMAFighting). “She does not care who she fights with, she will fight with someone. One of the sweetest people you will ever meet, very, very easy to get along with, but once she steps into the octagon, she is an absolute cruelty. What’s scary about her now is Dan Lambert, the man who runs her team, says he does not understand why, but she looks better than she ever looked in this camp, and she dropped guys in the camp. . So it’s going to be interesting.
“I think [Nunes is] the greatest female fighter of all time, ”said White. “Personally, I love her. She is a wonderful person. She is the only one to hold two titles and has defended both titles throughout.
At the same time, White did not completely count out the challenger, as he demonstrated her own finishing ability and punching power. The Australian’s last two wins are finally coming, and she may need one against Nunes.
‘She defended her 145-pound title against Megan Anderson, who finished nine of her 11 wins. [Anderson has] has six knockouts, three submissions – You will have some girls who are very talented, very technical, but who do not have the power to eliminate another woman. Both of these women have incredible power and they can knock each other out, which makes this fight a very, very awesome fight. ‘

Unless something crazy happens in the next twelve hours, Glover Teixeira is not needed as the backup for the UFC 259 main event. However, we can still admire its tough durability:
I’ve never seen a bone break out of this corner. Yikes!

Midnight Music: Everyone has some classic albums that they simply do not quite listen to. I watched Cracked rear view from my list – not surprisingly, most of the songs on the 19th best-selling album were ever a little familiar to me.
