Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Friday, June 19, 2026.
- DAZN pulls Floyd Mayweather’s June fight from schedule after injunction from Mike Tyson promoters: It’s not going to be easy to pay those tax bills without being able to fight.
- Early UFC White House viewership numbers released (and they’re a far cry from Joe Rogan’s estimates): Wait, the show didn’t reach ONE BILLION viewers?!?
- Justin Gaethje destroys opponents by ‘sending direct lines of energy’ through their faces: That’s one way to describe Gaethje having bricks for fists. He’s a dense human!
Insomnia
For Daniel Cormier to say this publicly about a fighter who trains at his gym means something … but I doubt it slows Josh Hokit’s roll one bit.
Daniel Cormier calls Josh Hokit’s gimmick “lame as f*ck”

One has to wonder just how many viewers would have tuned into the UFC White House if it were on Netflix.

Given the announcement of Islam Makhachev vs. Ian Garry, one would assume Carlos Prates vs. Michael Morales must be next?
Carlos Prates seems to have his next fight lined up

This should’ve happened months ago, but I’m looking forward to Covington vs. Tsarukyan.
Speaking of RAF … this is a bad look.

Former Bellator kingpin Alexander Shlemenko is STILL getting after it! The 42-year-0ld Russian now holds a pro record of 69-17-1 (1) and debuted 22 years ago.
STORMMMMM. In his 88th (!!) professional fight, Alexander Shlemenko kicks out the leg of Nikola Dipchikov and snatches his neck with a quick RNC. #ACA204pic.twitter.com/WsnH0HgZF9
