Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, March 17, 2026.
- Rousey vs. Carano fight card, start time, date and location | Netflix: Love it or hate it, Netflix’s first foray into MMA is developing into quite the spectacle.
- Jon Jones disarms fighter who pulled knife during Russian reality show, Daniel Cormier threatens to quit (Video): I have never watched an episode of Russian TUF, but every clip and quote that emerges from it gets me a little closer to tuning in.
- Sean Strickland’s coach on potential UFC 328 scuffles with Khamzat Chimaev: ‘I’d worry about the entourage’: Has Khamzat or his crew ever actually fought anyone outside of the cage? I feel like there are rumors, but I haven’t seen any footage yet. If I’m wrong, please tell me so in the comments.
Insomnia
Imagine how much money Conor McGregor could make from Netflix were he a free agent right now … Mike Perry is joking around, but he’s not wrong!
This photo reinforces my belief that Johnny Walker should be fighting at Heavyweight rather than dehydrating his chin to 205 pounds.
Jiri Prochazka’s maternity photo shoot has a few classic “BJP” moments mixed in.
Am I wrong in thinking this is a pretty decent Light Heavyweight matchup? Should be fun.
There was a decade or so where I went to 1-2 UFC events annually, but that period is over. Anyone still attending live UFC fights?
Kash Patel wearing shoes on the mat for his UFC and FBI crossover training session is very funny to me.
New promotional approach from Colby Covington here:
Slips, rips, and KO clips
A big dude throwing big punches for the quick KO.
I have no explanation for this one, it feels like a Steven Seagal instructional.
Being able to throw with power on the back foot is a gift.
Random Land
Who’s excited for Dune?!?
Midnight Music: Alternative, 1995
Sleep well Maniacs! More martial arts madness is always on the way.
