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

Let\u2019s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, June 15, 2026.<\/p>\n

I am unsure if this is truly the \u201cfirst-ever man vs. woman cage fight\u201d as the promotion claims. I\u2019m aware of some mixed gender fights in Muay Thai, and the ladies even won a few, but I don\u2019t know the MMA history \u2026 I wouldn\u2019t endorse it as a good idea though!<\/p>\n

As a Professional Fight Analyst\u2122, I do endorse this tweet.<\/p>\n

Speaking of, Justin Gaethje deciding not to commit to his low kicks in-fight was the correct call. That\u2019s a bad trade!<\/p>\n

Aiemann Zahabi reacts to the end of his win streak \u2026 Marcus McGhee next?<\/p>\n

Jon Anik awkwardly trying to pull an announcement from Tyson Fury was perhaps the strangest moment<\/p>\n

Has anyone ever watched Jose Aldo\u2019s Stronger Than The World biopic? I don\u2019t think it\u2019s available on the US Netflix.<\/p>\n

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

The Brazilian \u201cCowboy\u201d is still fighting, and it\u2019s not going well.<\/p>\n

I have yet to see a whirlpool or quicksand in real life. Two for the bucket list \u2026<\/p>\n
