Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, June 29, 2026.
Insomnia
UFC Middleweight Champion Sean Strickland is currently in Florida helping his buddy, former Bellator Middleweight Champion Johnny Eblen, train for his upcoming fight at PFL Austin— but he couldn’t resist wrestling a fan on the beach.
Is it unanimous that this is a much harder fight for Cody Durden? Even on short notice, I would expect Alessandro Costa to be a heavy favorite.
You never know what’s next in BKFC.
Julius Walker unfortunately called his own shot on his opponent’s behalf.
Former Irish presidential candidate Conor McGregor’s custom shorts are … money based? I dig the look but it’s a little surprising.
I interpret random trash talk to mean that Umar Nurmagomedov vs. Song Yadong is next — great matchup!
Slips, rips, and KO clips
Nice work from Adams to reset his weight, allowing him to continue throwing with power late in the combo.
Reaching over for a guillotine while the opponent is already mid-guard pass is a dangerous game.
A huge high kick KO followed up by a full-on Hendo punch.
Random Land
This is my world cup.
