Midnight Mania! Fiery Michael Chandler crashes WWE Raw, cuts promo on ‘candy ass’ Conor McGregor

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Michael Chandler made the most of his Monday night (Feb. 19, 2024) visit to WWE’s RAW event in Anaheim, California. “Iron” scored some mic time, and at this point, how the Lightweight contender chose to use his moment shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. Almost immediately, he was calling for Conor McGregor to finally show up.

“What’s up Anaheim!” Chandler screamed to the crowd. “You are now in the presence of the most entertaining UFC fighter on the planet! Hey, now there’s a man from Ireland that’s been making me wait for way too long, and I still got one dude on my mind. Conor McGregor, get your candy ass back to the Octagon! We got some unfinished business boys! God bless, and I’ll see you at the top!”

The pair of opposing The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) coaches have been linked to fight each other since at least Feb. 2023, but the match up continues to get delayed. The latest update from Dana White is that McGregor is possibly gone forever, whereas the frustrated Irishman is demanding a fight sooner than later. Clearly, there’s a disagreement there, and until it’s settled, Chandler will remain waiting on the sidelines.

At least, however, UFC and WWE merging under a single corporate entity, TKO Group Holdings, Inc, has given him something to do. WWE may be too hard for UFC fighters, but collaborations like this in which one athlete crosses into the other’s realm to promote their match up may become more common in the future.

Insomnia

Hold up ... Merab Dvalishvili fight week may be over, but Merab Mania rages on! “The Machine” is too interesting to stop just yet.

No (light) division for old men.

I don’t care for the Meta CEO, but let Mark Zuckerberg be mildly awkward in peace. If we started kicking the socially odd out of jiu-jitsu classes, the sport’s popularity would plummet!

If you’re planning to bet on UFC Mexico City, this is highly, highly pertinent information.

It’s interesting to see Dominick Cruz really sitting down on his punches and stringing together combos.

Young, aggressive, exciting — MMA could do a lot worse than Ilia Topuria as its next star.

Slips, rips, and KO clips

Have you ever seen this angle of one of MMA’s most famous knockouts?

Don’t know if I’ve ever seen anyone react to punches quite like this.

Every Jonathan Haggerty fight in recent memory has been a ridiculous, must-watch affair.
