Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Wednesday, April 29, 2026.
- UFC 329 odds: Conor McGregor opens as sizable betting underdog for rumored comeback rematch against Max Holloway: I have a really difficult time seeing McGregor’s path to victory versus Holloway at this stage of his career.
- BKFC fighter found guilty of murder as UFC 328 nitwit Sean Strickland continues to brag about gun violence: Well, this is a really sad story all around, nothing good going on here.
- Video: Point-fighting loudmouth Sean Strickland reveals ‘worst thing’ about fighting Khamzat at UFC 328 – ‘We die enemies’: I generally like my job very much, but one of the worst parts is that I’m obligated to listen to MMA fighters and media figures I would prefer to mute on social media.

Khamzat Chimaev vs. Bo Nickal would genuinely be one of the best possible matchups RAF could book. Maybe after the UFC White House card?

Muhammad Mokaev implies that Kyoji Horiguchi is out of UFC Baku, and he’s ready to step in.
Aljamain Sterling admits Youssef Zalal nearly caught him with that third-round guillotine.
I will 100% tune in for Arnold Allen vs. Melquizael Costa, which is a guaranteed banger. Watch both!
