Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Friday, Jan. 23, 2026.
“I’m completely okay, I’m good,” said Smotherman.“I’m not entirely sure what happened. People online saying it was a crazy weight cut. I genuinely didn’t cut very much weight.”
Is Paddy Pimblett in Justin Gaethje’s head?
Michael Chandler isn’t taking no for an answer.
Well, this wasn’t good.
Cool scenes for the official debut of Zuffa Boxing.
Real solid scrap right here.
This should be a good one.
Probably not the best way to call for a UFC invite.
Sean O’Malley has nothing but respect for UFC bantamweight king Petr Yan.
Only one more box to check for “The Baddy.”
Alex Pereira out here sparring Dutch super models. What a life!
This should be interesting.
Hopefully this doesn’t happen.
Slips, rips, and KO clips
Here’s a nice and early knockout from Brand Risk 12.
He laid on the ropes after the finish LOL.
There goes the mouthpiece.
Oh. My. Lord. Late KO for your viewing pleasure.
Big storm coming through this weekend. Be safe!
Sleep well Maniacs! More martial arts madness is always on the way.
