Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, July 21, 2026.
If the extent of Josh Hokit’s punishment is the occasional verbal lashing, do we think Dana really cares? I am doubtful.
To my knowledge, Charles Oliveira has been consistently respectful towards all his opponents over the years. There was a bit of beef with Gaethje and the “quitter” accusations, but even that was pretty mild.
Walking around at 160 isn’t unusual for a UFC Bantamweight, nor is weighing 152 on fight night.
UFC absolutely refuses to let Nathaniel Wood fight a ranked contender despite being an excellent Featherweight. Treading water against good unranked opposition is a hard gig …
Jared Cannonier is a cool dude and great potential as a coach if he pursues that path.
Kamaru Usman complaining about getting kicked in the head was a strange look.
Slips, rips, and KO clips
Maybe Cameron Smotherman shouldn’t be fighting like two months after getting smoked by Kai Asakura?
Out before he hit the ground …
Perpetua absolutely crashed forward with this 2-3.
I enjoyed these presidential caricatures.
