Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Thursday, June 25, 2026.

1. Ilia Topuria ‘already recovered a lot,’ could make UFC return ‘in December’: Topuria returning to the win column at the end of the year would be an incredible accomplishment given the damage absorbed.
2. ‘Idiot’ Arman may lose UFC title shot (again) after turning down Mateusz Gamrot rematch: Forget a title shot, what does Arman have to do at this point to fight any of the current up-and-coming contenders like Paddy, BSD, or Ruffy? I’d watch any of those.
3. Josh Hokit admits he wasn’t really trying to armbar Derrick Lewis at UFC White House: ‘God forbid someone has a little fun’: It takes a certain level of composure to act silly inside the Octagon. Impressive?

I am at the beginning phases of putting my cabinet together to run for the presidency in 2028. I only want to hear from the best and the brightest. Tell me why should I appoint you and tell me why you’re so confidence that a GANGSTER is going to win.

Jon Jones knows what it’s like to wake up Monday morning and have your mugshot all over the internet, so he’s in good position to advise Justin Poirier on what’s next.

Wanted to write and tell my ***** Justin Poirier to keep your head up, life happens. This too shall pass. Just keep yourself busy my man, it helps

I don’t know why this JRE clip from a decade ago is viral, but it gave me a chuckle.

31-year-old Paddy Pimblett claims he’s still getting taller? I can’t tell if this is delusion or an accidental admission of some strange PED.

Paddy Pimblett says he might end up fighting at welterweight one day.

" I'm still growing, still putting inches of height on and putting size on. I think I'm gonna end up fighting at welterweight in the end."

Blanket statement: posting skits after you lose a fight is never going to look good.

Slips, rips, and KO clips​

First combo moves him towards the fence, second combo lands.

I’ve posted the actual dragon dance previously, but the prep sans-costume might be more impressive.
