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

Let\u2019s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Friday, Oct. 2, 2026.<\/p>\n

Alexander Hernandez opens up about his cancelled bout with Michael Johnson, which was investigated by the FBI. Crazy!<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, he\u2019ll face Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 332 in a fight that hopefully won\u2019t be canceled!<\/p>\n

Before her title fight tomorrow night, take a second to review the most famous win of Wang Cong\u2019s career:<\/p>\n

Should this be happening on the sport\u2019s biggest stage? Probably not.<\/p>\n

This clip of Alexandre Topuria trading body blows with a fan brings us to the anecdote of the week: I suddenly get black eyes way more frequently while training 1\/50th as often as when I was a professional fighter. My face skin is considerably less durable than it used to be. Body (and face) conditioning is a real thing!<\/p>\n

Alright, this is pretty funny!<\/p>\n

Angela Hill presents an effective history lesson on why you should ALWAYS throw that illegal strike!<\/p>\n

Sergei Pavlovich is looking both dense and fast!<\/p>\n

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

Being able to throw a nasty 1-2 while tired is often all it takes.<\/p>\n

Turn up your volume and listen to the THUNK of that liver kick!<\/p>\n

Now turn your volume back down and enjoy some refereeing that would make Mario Yamasaki proud.<\/p>\n

Count me among those who did not realize sharks could be this old.<\/p>\n
