Welcome to Midnight Mania!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Friday, July 24, 2026.<\/p>\n

Merab Dvalishili trains like a dingus<\/a> and thus enters every single fight, so I\u2019m not sure this excuse helps him much.<\/p>\n

One has to wonder about the accuracy of a Mike Tyson story at this stage, but this is very funny nevertheless.<\/p>\n

I greatly enjoyed this exchange between former Welterweight champions Georges St. Pierre and Matt Serra.<\/p>\n

I forgot this fight happened.<\/p>\n

Being the most delusional MMA fighter is a remarkable feat, but Shara Magomedov is building a case. Didn\u2019t he just foul Michel Pereira four times to barely win a boring decision?<\/p>\n

Ref really had to show off his takedown defense here!<\/p>\n

Miles Jury breaks down the numbers behind his UFC lawsuit settlement.<\/p>\n

Slips, rips, and KO clips<\/p>\n

A well-timed overhand set up by some false starts:<\/p>\n

Sumo from nearly 60 years ago:<\/p>\n

Both men throw right hands, one takes his head off the center line.<\/p>\n

True story: that chord and carabiner setup is the exact same as mine \u2026 which is unsettling given the context.<\/p>\n
