Welcome to Midnight Mania!<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Thursday, Feb. 16, 2026.<\/p>\n
Just moments ago, Mikey Musumeci retained his UFC BJJ Bantamweight title! Afterward, he called out Arman Tsarukyan, which would be a very interesting challenge for the ace grappler.<\/p>\n
\u201cArman (Tsarukyan) called out (Tom Hardy) for a grappling match. Tom Hardy at this time was a purple belt. He called out a hobbyist purple belt for a grappling match, how about he competes against a jiu-jitsu person in a grappling match?\u201d Musumeci said.<\/p>\n
Alright, here\u2019s a pair of non-controversial cuts I think we can all agree on.<\/p>\n
Charles Oliveira is looking strong ahead of UFC 326!<\/p>\n
I loved Horiguchi\u2019s strangely angled ducking left hook. He set it up well by spearing Albazi a bunch of times with the jab first!<\/p>\n
I\u2019m definitely looking forward to watching Ethyn Ewing\u2019s career after his short-notice win over Malcolm Wellmaker.<\/p>\n
Merab Dvalishvili is back work on his skits, and I have to say I quite liked this one.<\/p>\n
Daniel Cormier was a mean bastard (compliment) on the wrestling mats and in the cage, I\u2019m having a hard time buying that he\u2019s too squeamish to kimura Jon Jones if given the opportunity back in the day..<\/p>\n
Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/p>\n
The leaping left hook is an interesting setup for a wheel kick. Tremendous!<\/p>\n
I\u2019d love to go train with some of the incredible Japanese kickboxers, but I fear they would beat my ass so badly I\u2019d have no choice but to shoot doubles. Those lads spar hard!<\/p>\n
ICYMI: Krazy Horse is back in the win column, baby!<\/p>\n
This is really cool science and seems like a bad sign for my belly fat.<\/p>\n
