Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, April 14, 2026.
- Rebrand? Donald Trump considers renaming UFC White House card to UFC 1776, expects 100k fans to attend: I truly have no idea what to expect from the UFC White House card. Will it live up to all these crazy attendance numbers? What is the setup actually going to look like?
- Did Jorge Masvidal just get the ol’ bait and switch from UFC? ‘We have no fights for him right now’: I’m going to chalk this up to the fact that Dana White and Hunter Campbell seemingly do not communicate at all.
- Jon Jones reacts to fan’s giant, lifelike tattoo of his face: ‘That’s crazy!‘: I cannot fathom doing this.
Insomnia
I don’t believe for a second there are a million people who would part with their hard-earned dollars to see two older promoters fight … but I bet a lot of people would illegally stream it!
Lorenz Larkin vs. Jason Jackson was one of the most high-level bouts on the MVP MMA card. Hopefully, they can find a good replacement, otherwise it’s a major loss.
Flavor Town under fire! Guy Fieri is receiving backlash for chatting with the Tate brothers at UFC 327.
Fans online are shocked at just how f—ked up Merab’s nose is after his recent incident.
Aaron Pico’s jab and combinations were really sharp against Patricio Pitbull. I still didn’t love his early defensive reactions though …
A bit of post-fight civility between Curtis Blaydes and Josh Hokit? Nice to see.
Slips, rips, and KO clips
This is an absolutely piercing front kick …
Incredible chaos in the One Championship ring, a must-watch clip!
We could see a Thiago Santos vs. Anthony Smith rematch in Gamebred FC.
Random Land
I never thought of the moon as this colorful.
