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.

1. Dana White reacts to Herb Dean controversy, comments on Alex Pereira’s petition to have longtime ref tossed from UFC: Alex Pereira sure is on a warpath against Herb Dean. Just fight already?
   
2. UFC 329 odds: Gable Steveson balloons to whopping -2800 betting favorite for July 11 debut: Sooo, is Gable Steveson the biggest favorite in UFC history now?
   
3. UFC 329’s Conor McGregor unimpressed by ‘atrocious’ Justin Gaethje — ‘Max flatlined him’: I mean, sign me up for McGregor vs. Gaethje before they both retire.

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.

Former Irish presidential candidate Conor McGregor’s custom shorts are … money based? I dig the look but it’s a little surprising.

Imagine if he wears these in his return to the Octagon against Max Holloway

I interpret random trash talk to mean that Umar Nurmagomedov vs. Song Yadong is next — great matchup!

Umar Nurmagomedov says Song Yadong is a ‘punching bag’, and doesn’t consider him a top class fighter

“[Yadong] is a punching bag. How did he do against O’Malley? He was dead by the third round

I don’t consider him a top class fighter,
Honestly.”

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.
