Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Thursday, June 11, 2026.

1. Pic: Alex Pereira’s UFC Freedom 250 side-by-side Heavyweight transformation has Ciryl Gane fans not scared (at all): Pereira looks about as good as could be reasonable expected given that he fought at 205-pounds less than a year ago.
2. Alex Pereira suggests ‘disrespectful’ Josh Hokit will be cut after UFC White House antics: Unless Hokit starts interrupting Dana’s blackjack games like Colby did back in the day, I would wager his roster position is very safe.
3. New York Times slams Conor McGregor for using PEDs to treat broken leg: I can see both sides of this argument, but it’s hard for me to view McGregor as a clean fighter given all the rumors, missed locations, and dramatic physical shifts.

Georges St. Pierre will class up Sunday’s event to a significant degree.

Derrick Lewis is well-prepared for all the potential challenges of the UFC White House experience.

Derrick Lewis says he already has experience fighting outside:

“The last time I fought outside, they locked me up for three and a half years, so I have experience in that.

I live in Texas. We got mosquitos and bugs all day long. Biting a*s all day. So, I’m used to that.”… pic.twitter.com/GBUE6f6ZEU

Maybe we do live in a simulation after all.

Edson Barboza is allergic to taking easy fights. I just wish this were the Barboza of 2017 or so …

Absolutely no defense even attempted to this arm-in guillotine choke:

I am strongly reminded of Mark Hunt’s armbar attempt on Ben Rothwell in perhaps the tiredest UFC fight of all time.

I was doing research for Derrick Lewis today and noticed he had one submission on his resume. Of course, I had to search it up. So, here's a video of a 25-year-old Derrick Lewis submitting Rakim Cleveland in 2010. pic.twitter.com/WsJ4lLZu5S

He gave his opponent fair warning …
