Welcome to Midnight Mania! Video: Jared Gordon pummels goofy internet troll: ‘Not trying to catch a lawsuit’ Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight! Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Friday, Aug. 7, 2026. - Washed-up Conor McGregor ‘nothing more than a money grab’ for UFC — ‘Look at his face … he’s done’: Is it fair to say the McGregor stock has never been lower? At this point, losing in normal fashion would be a big improvement. - Daniel Cormier: Allan Nascimento’s death led to Charles Oliveira’s removal from UFC 331: Honestly, I don’t think anyone was that thrilled about the Oliveira vs. Tsarukyan rematch anyway. - Not-scrolling Ian Garry dumps social media, responds to ‘online backlash’ ahead of UFC 330: Being able to ignore social media is an asset in all walks of life, but it’s downright essential for a public figure. Insomnia Jared Gordon threw that head kick at 1/4 speed and it still was a complete shock … credit to the random though, he seemed pretty aware about what was going to happen. French on French violence in Paris! You cannot hate on Nate Diaz for having (misplaced) confidence in his boys! Melquizael Costa is hitting the weights ahead of his Lightweight move. Who should the Brazilian face in his 155-pound return? Zero hesitation from Carlos Prates, a man with his priorities straight. After decades in the sport/public eye, Forrest Griffin is a certified good guy. Slips, rips, and KO clips Big men, on the whole, do not like getting hit in the body. It’s fairly rare to see an arm-in closed guard gilly actually work. Referee was a few seconds behind on this one. Random Land I have hallucinated very mildly on long backcountry climbing/hiking days, but I truly cannot imagine doing so in the middle of the open ocean.
