Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, July 21, 2025.
- Former UFC, WWE champ Brock Lesnar banned from professional wrestling — ‘He’s in so much trouble’: Lesnar is 48 years old and has already made his fortune several times over, so I’m guessing this “trouble” won’t bother him too badly.
- Kevin Holland, two others, transported to New Orleans hospital following UFC 318 bloodbath: I wouldn’t expect another quick return for “Trailblazer” after such a disappointing and violent loss.
- UFC 318 results: Sooo ... About last night | Poirier vs. Holloway 3: For my money, UFC 318 was one of the most fun fight cards of the year.
Insomnia
Reactions are divided here on whether this was a send off from friends and family or a genuine party, as well as what either would mean for Daniel Dubois’ performance against Oleksandr Usyk. Personally, I’m not outraged at the concept, but I wouldn’t suggest it either ...
Daniel Dubois allegedly had a party with 70 people in his house just a few hours before his Undisputed

Insane UFC 318 parlay. I’ll be honest and admit I thought Daniel Rodriguez had no shot, but that’s the magic of Kevin Holland!

It’s time for Paulo Costa to post the screenshot, because this is wild talk.

I don’t care if Paulo Costa never fights for UFC gold again, having him return to savagely ripping the body is good enough.

Don’t be fooled into thinking Turki Alalshikh is a good guy.
A lot of these current N ex fighters love to call us fans keyboard warriors. Let's see how many of them call out Turki for disrespecting Tim Tszyu last night pic.twitter.com/3odzucpC6e
