Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, May 4, 2026.
Conor McGregor working with Dong Hyun Kim, who retired from UFC competition after losing to Colby Covington in 2017. Since then, however, Kim made headlines by appearing on Netflix’s Physical 100 multiple times.
Jose Aldo’s takedown defense was so great that even his limp leg — one of the most common defenses in MMA — is instantly recognizable.

Translated: “Thailand will issue a 5-year multiple-entry visa for foreigners interested in Muay Thai and similar martial arts.”
