Anderson Silva still refuses to speak to Dana White after being forced out of the UFC"},"content":{"rendered":"

Welcome to Midnight Mania!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, May 26, 2026.<\/p>\n

I would love to hear Anderson Silva\u2019s current perspective on his relationship with Dana White\/the end of his UFC career. And for the record, Silva officially ended his UFC career with a 1-3 run, though just a single win in his final nine appearances.<\/p>\n

Rico Verhoeven breaking down the controversial final moments of his loss to Usyk in his own words:<\/p>\n

Reminder: keep an eye on Cameron Smotherman\u2019s weight cut over the next few days.<\/p>\n

Catching kicks is the easiest path to takedowns in MMA.<\/p>\n

Every Ilia Topuria training clip I see is downright jaw-dropping. Good luck, Justin.<\/p>\n

Statistically, ranked UFC fighters compete much more often than they used to.<\/p>\n

Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/p>\n

A new counter-punching Adesanya just dropped!<\/p>\n

Getting third-partied in an MMA fight is absolutely brutal. How much do you think he got paid for this?<\/p>\n

Santiago mixed up the delivery of his right hand well in this quick clip.<\/p>\n

Soccer kick!<\/p>\n

Do you think soccer kicks could be legalized in 2026 MMA? — Or are they too violent for the casual sports watcher?<\/p>\n
