Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, Aug. 3, 2026.
Insomnia
Rest in Peace Allan Nascimento.
True or false: the UFC Heavyweight division was healthier when Francis Ngannou was atop the mountain?
How did I not know this happened?!?
My favorite MMA meme of the week:
Nothing to see here, everything above board.
Is a basketball background the best base for MMA? There’s a bit of precedent, just ask “The Suga Show.”
All respect to the Polish legend, but I hope Blachowicz retires after his UFC Belgrade defeat.
Slips, rips, and KO clips
The right hand got the job done, but the slam was a nice cherry on top.
Not a great reaction to being taken down with an arm trapped:
Reminder: UFC cut Muradov after an 11-second eye poke “No Contest.” Killer right hand!
Random Land
Ancient ivory birds!
