Midnight Mania! Horiguchi Withdraws From UFC Baku Return, Replaced By Kazakh Killer

Andrew Richardson is a professional fighter who trains at Team Alpha Male in Sacramento, Calif., providing MMAmania.com (and its readers) with expert technical fighter breakdowns, insight and analysis you can't get anywhere else.

Let's start the night off by taking look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, March 19, 2025.

Absolute bummer alert! Kyoji Horiguchi is injured and off the UFC Baku card, so Tagir Ulanbekov will instead face Azat Maksum, the 15-1 Kazakh prospect who recently lost a "Fight of the Night" to Charles Johnson. At least it's still a banger?

Jon Jones loves trolling the fanbase so much. Even if the general emotion is anger, "Bones" has people invested in his next fight ... if it happens.

Do you have a problem with Tim Welch's tactic of coaching the opposing fighter? All's fair in love and war in my book.

Prediction: Jiri Prochazka ends up a well-paid prime minister's body guard after his UFC career.

Heavyweight has never been the deepest division, but it didn't used to be quite so dire.

My wife's family coerced me into going trail riding with them a few weeks ago, and I spent the whole trip mildly terrified I was going to shatter my collar bone. Be careful champ!

Standing submissions only in a kickboxing gloves is a bizarre rule set. Honestly, I was expecting worse based on the description ...

A Saenchai-style cartwheel kick KO!

I love how relaxed Rafael Fiziev is while punches are flying in his direction.

Sleep well Maniacs! More martial arts madness is always on the way.
