Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Thursday, June 4, 2026.
- Michael Bisping questions how long Tom Aspinall has taken to recover: ‘There’s something weird going on’: Bisping of all people should probably understand that taking time to deal with an eye injury is the better move than his current situation.
- Bryce Mitchell stands against UFC White House, Strickland suppression: ‘Government is supposed to protect us, not entertain’: “Thug Nasty” is coherent every once in a while, this was one of his better rants.
- UFC Vegas 118’s Brendan Allen not feeling love for fighting unranked contender – ‘I’m not a likable guy’: Are you a Brendan Allen fan?

A rare look behind the Josh Hokit mask!
Sean Strickland vs. Justin Gaethje is the second most unexpected beef of the week after Topuria vs. Gaethje’s dad.
Jacked AI Uncle Sam feels like he could be an artistic statement about the decline of America.
Jiu-Jitsu saves!
Slips, rips, and KO clips
Great composure and form to eat a right hand and still throw the knee cleanly.
The d’arce is a much better counter to half guard sweeps than guillotine.
Pulling the caught kick across the body can set up some nasty shots.
Random Land
A trippy art installation.
