Welcome to Midnight Mania!
I really feel obligated to start out this publish with the easy declaration that I imagine Jason Parillo to be top-of-the-line boxing coaches in MMA. He’s an enormous a part of the explanation Michael Bisping turned a world champion, helped grapplers like Luke Rockhold and Mackenzie Dern shore up the technical points of their get up, and undoubtedly refined Marlon Vera’s arms by a major diploma. He’s skilled everybody from Cris Cyborg to BJ Penn, and I can not bear in mind Parillo making any absurd statements and getting embroiled in any vital controversy.
All of which makes his Instagram publish from earlier in the present day more strange and stunning.
“Couldn’t be prouder of my fighter [Marlon Vera]!” Parillo wrote. “He competed for the UFC world title! Representing his nation Ecuador and each onerous working man that doesn’t quit! Chito 1-1 now with this child! The child bought the choice and retained the title! Chito bought the knock out within the first battle. With no clock? Chito goes to jail for homicide!”
For some context, Sean O’Malley dropped a grasp class on Marlon Vera’s face (watch highlights) over the weekend (March 9, 2024) at UFC 299.
At any charge, the primary a part of the publish is regular, as Parillo helps his athlete and acknowledges the accomplishment of preventing for a world title. Even mentioning that the document is tied is true, even when no person is asking for any sort of rematch. Then, it goes utterly off the rails with the entire “no clock” and “homicide” half.
O’Malley didn’t go away the cage with a destroyed face. His arms and toes could have been sore from delivering the beating, however he didn’t appear incapable of continuous to beat the crap out of “Chito.” Even by Diaz brothers guidelines, it was a shutout win.
Fan response to the publish was practically universally destructive. Combat followers questioned why Vera didn’t use his clinch and wrestling expertise in any respect, or if something might be accomplished to deal with his gradual begins. One fan additionally instantly countered, “If there was no time clock Chito could be in a grave.”
It definitely doesn’t encourage hope that Vera will return drastically completely different each time he heals up.
Insomnia
Bobby Inexperienced and Tony Ferguson seem to have settled their beef.
It’s nice to have a optimistic replace on the Mark Coleman scenario. RIP Hammer!
Nice information to start out the day.

It’s a troublesome and unlikely street to gold for Gilbert Burns, however I’ll at all times watch a “Durinho” battle.

“To start with, shoutout to Jack Della Maddalena what a troublesome one. I am an even bigger fan now. No excuses in any respect, not even one.
I am 37… however I do imagine I’ve every thing I have to develop into a champion. I am nonetheless… pic.twitter.com/zF0hGoLXDS
