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

Let\u2019s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026.<\/p>\n

Ian Garry is losing the verbal battle to a man who learned English in the last few years. Not exactly The Mac, is he?<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re wondering what Zhang Weili is up to while her title is on the line at UFC 330 \u2026<\/p>\n

If you like mediocre trash talk, there\u2019s a whole lot more of this on X between Valter Walker and Josh Hokit.<\/p>\n

Speaking from experience: Khabib will be ready to take over the Middleweight division after a couple Philly Cheesesteaks.<\/p>\n

Old GM3 is heading up to 205-pounds against a guy who loves to grind on the canvas \u2026 does he have one last submission in him?<\/p>\n

Jon Kunneman speaks on his decision not to tap to an armbar during his recent Contender Series loss.<\/p>\n

Khabib paved the way for Dagestani dominance, but Fedor definitely cleared the path for \u201cThe Eagle\u201d first.<\/p>\n

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

This extended series of highlights should satisfy just about everyone\u2019s need for random KO clips. I watched so many of these live and still entirely forgot about half of them \u2026<\/p>\n

I have Googled this several times over and found no evidence of this viral video being AI (the opposite, in fact), and yet I still don\u2019t believe it. It has to be. Right?!?<\/p>\n
