Welcome to Midnight Mania!<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of\u00a0Thursday, Feb. 6, 2026.<\/p>\n
Insomnia<\/p>\n
I wonder how much UFC offered Rico Verhoeven! The UFC number was never likely to match whatever Turki Alalshikh is willing to pay, but it would still be nice to know.<\/p>\n
I say this as kindly as possible, but Raffael Cerqueira is one of the least good fighters I\u2019ve ever seen in the Octagon outside of the Heavyweight division (Jose Medina is the absolute worst).<\/p>\n
How does this work? Wouldn\u2019t you be able feel a giant mouthguard in a pack of cards?<\/p>\n
Terence Crawford hasn\u2019t laughed at a single joke in his entire life.<\/p>\n
Lerone Murphy vs. Movsar Evloev not being a guaranteed title eliminator is crazy. I\u2019m high on the Jean Silva hype train but give one of those men their shot already \u2026<\/p>\n
Feint a kick to switch Southpaw, marching step back into orthodox, then fire the right hand \u2014 think about how much harder it was for Rafael Fiziev to land his straight punches than Mauricio Ruffy. A beautiful combo, but it illustrates why Fiziev had such a hard time getting to his opponent\u2019s chin.<\/p>\n
Arnold Allen nearly didn\u2019t make it to UFC 324.<\/p>\n
Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/p>\n
Naked calf kicks work as often as not.<\/p>\n
\u2026 They arguably work even better when thrown behind the high guard of boxing gloves.<\/p>\n
Only one punch of this combination landed, but it counted!<\/p>\n
Random Land<\/p>\n
A clip so good it made the actual news for no real reason.<\/p>\n
