Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, July 21, 2026.
Insomnia
If the extent of Josh Hokit’s punishment is the occasional verbal lashing, do we think Dana really cares? I am doubtful.
To my knowledge, Charles Oliveira has been consistently respectful towards all his opponents over the years. There was a bit of beef with Gaethje and the “quitter” accusations, but even that was pretty mild.
Walking around at 160 isn’t unusual for a UFC Bantamweight, nor is weighing 152 on fight night.
UFC absolutely refuses to let Nathaniel Wood fight a ranked contender despite being an excellent Featherweight. Treading water against good unranked opposition is a hard gig …
Jared Cannonier is a cool dude and great potential as a coach if he pursues that path.
Kamaru Usman complaining about getting kicked in the head was a strange look.
Slips, rips, and KO clips
Maybe Cameron Smotherman shouldn’t be fighting like two months after getting smoked by Kai Asakura?
Out before he hit the ground …
Perpetua absolutely crashed forward with this 2-3.
Random Land
I enjoyed these presidential caricatures.
