Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2026.
- Video: King Green gets socked up by boxing world champion, chokes him out in seconds: I hate streaming culture, but King Green is perhaps the only guy interesting enough to have a camera on him 24/7.
- Ian Machado Garry disses Islam Makhachev’s resume: ‘My opponents were more difficult’: I do think (factoring in size) that Shavkat Rakhmonov is the best fighter on either man’s resume … which is depressing in context.
- Michael Morales reveals shocking 23-pound cut just days before UFC 330 weigh-in: Morales has a limited amount of time to keep cutting weight like this before Middleweight calls his name.
Insomnia
Stephen Thompson deserves an appropriate sendoff for his final UFC appearance. How about Daniel Rodriguez?
Patchy Mix vs. Shoko Sato has continued to produce drama after Mix defeated Sato via decision but lost due to points removed for missing weight. I don’t really feel that Tapology has the authority to make decisions like this though …
Everybody loves to mess with Abubakar.
This is the first Ian Machado Garry content in weeks that (most likely) won’t anger a large portion of the fanbase.
In a few years, Kyle Daukaus being part of the UFC White House event will be a great trivia answer.
… Does Jon Jones in Colombia sound like a bad idea to EVERYONE else?
Slips, rips, and KO clips
That’s a tight right hand thrown from close quarters.
You can see the patience and striking experience here, a lot of shots down low to set up the eventual right hand over the top.
Both of the Wellmakers will kick your ass!
