Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026.
Sparring footage from Michael Chandler! As a long time fan … he used to be so fast.
One more time: RIP Allan Nascimento.
Featherweight fireworks! Is Joanderson Brito ranked yet? “Tubarao” is a damn good fighter.
Darren Elkins is one of the most universally respected men I’ve ever met. I hope he gets a RAF bout booked at some point!
Suga and Suga Jr. on the mic:
The odds of UFC ever booking Mateusz Gamrot vs. Paddy Pimblett feel tremendously low.
Slips, rips, and KO clips
Bit of Blair Witch Project-esque camera work here, as well as one of the largest human beings I’ve seen recently.
It’s always nice to see a fighter landing damaging blows in close quarters.
A perfectly timed uppercut counter:
Random Land
Nothing I enjoy more than jiu-jitsu applied effectively in a real life situation.
