Welcome to Midnight Mania!<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Thursday, Jan. 29, 2026.<\/p>\n
Sadly, it\u2019s still going to be quite some time until the great Rafael dos Anjos returns to the Octagon.<\/p>\n
Gaethje and coach Trevor Wittman took Pimblett\u2019s trash talk personal in a way that surprises me. \u201cI\u2019m going to break your face\u201d feels like fairly generic.<\/p>\n
Neck surgery is no joke, and spinal issues are not uncommon in Judo practitioners. Here\u2019s hoping Kayla Harrison is able to make a full recovery!<\/p>\n
Tim Elliott calls for a battle of former Flyweight title challengers. Who\u2019s in?<\/p>\n
People see the knockouts and the barking and overlook that Jean Silva is actually a very slick technician.<\/p>\n
Oh snap, I\u2019m qualified to talk about this: Ian Garry actually moves decently well on plastic! Looks like he\u2019s put at least a bit of time into his climbing.<\/p>\n
Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/p>\n
\u2026 At least they weren\u2019t fighting on cement?<\/p>\n
Nasty spin off the right hand, similar to how Kevin Vallejos knocked out Giga Chikadze recently.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m kind of shocked this is real. Anyone got a freeze frame that catches seven fingers or something? It seems legit!<\/p>\n
Scans say this spiel isn\u2019t AI \u2014 I love the internet.<\/p>\n
