Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, July 15, 2025.
- Unbothered Conor McGregor posts happy birthday message to himself amidst nude selfie scandal: “Apologize for absolutely nothing” seems less like a slogan and more like a moral compass.
- Tallison Teixeira issues statement following questionable UFC Nashville knockout loss - ‘I know what to do’: Tallison Teixeira could still become a great Heavyweight someday, but getting rushed into a 30-second knockout loss in his sophomore UFC appearance likely didn’t help.
- Vitor Belfort vs Wanderlei Silva rematch booked for Sept. 27 in Brazil: I hope both men are on every possible steroid for this Old Legends match up.
