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

Let\u2019s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Thursday, Aug. 27, 2026.<\/p>\n

One man\u2019s loss is another\u2019s gain, and Anthony Pettis won big!<\/p>\n

Josh Hokit is chasing after Tom Aspinall like a mosquito.<\/p>\n

Arman Tsarukyan showing off his fitness \u2026 and this event is less likely to injure him than any standard wrestling session.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m looking forward to Stan Dorsainvil\u2019s future. He may be raw, but clearly \u201cThe Drill\u201d has talent!<\/p>\n

Merab offers his thoughts on his current beef with Islam Makhachev (and all of Russia):<\/p>\n

Song Yadong looks shredded ahead of UFC Shanghai.<\/p>\n

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

Watch the entire clip this time. The post-fight brawl is silly, but the slow-mo clip of the KO was awesome.<\/p>\n

How many of my readers watched this match live?<\/p>\n

The rhythm and bounce hide the explosion.<\/p>\n

This feels like the plot of a South Park episode.<\/p>\n
