Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Wednesday, June 17, 2026.
I wonder what weight class the newly announced Zabit vs. Hooker BJJ match will take place at? “The Hangman” is a big boy when outside of fight camp …
… Forget what I said about Justin Gaethje’s UFC White House walkout being the best of all time.
We can rebuild him, we have the technology.
If Rico Verhoeven is telling the truth here, what is the possible explanation for keeping the result intact? Commissions hate admitting fault.
Youssef Zalal vs. Kevin Vallejos would be a great finesse vs. power matchup.
I still kind of doubt Vicente Luque’s future at Middleweight, but this feels like a guaranteed scrap.
“Proud of everything you do and have done, my brother.”
Slips, rips, and KO clips
Getting straight ankle locked in MMA in 2026? Not great!
Getting Americana’d from half guard isn’t much better (not an armbar!).
Major respect to hockey players.
