Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Wednesday, June 3, 2026.
- Eiffel Tower?!?! Donald Trump might keep UFC White House setup: ‘We’ll never, ever take it down!’: The UFC White House is good for business and all, but I look forward to this being over.
- Routine brain scan for Eddie Hall vs. Tommy Fury fight card just saved the life of popular porn star: Combat sports saves?
- Foul-mouthed UFC champion banned from UFC Freedom 250: Sean Strickland did spend several months trashing “the f—king Epstein list” that’s attending the UFC White House card, so … yeah, this makes sense.
Insomnia
Bryce Mitchell takes a stand against the UFC White House.
Muhammad Mokaev would be a welcome addition to the already stacked Flyweight title mix.
I could watch Dmitry Bivol sparring clips all day.
This young man is ready to train a world champion. Great energy!
Sign me all the way up for Sergei Pavlovich vs. Josh Hokit.
Chris Weidman with the dad reflexes of the year!
Michael Morales working on his defensive wrestling and scrambling … Islam next?
Jorge Masvidal breaks down being on the receiving end of an iconic submission:
Slips, rips, and KO clips
Anecdote of the week: Back when I saw a 13-year-old white belt starting out in BJJ, I tried to do this move at an in-house tournament as a counter to my opponent’s collar choke. In reality, I was just jamming my knuckles into his throat and made my fellow adolescent cry. The referee was not impressed, and I lost by points.
A great knockout with a great story behind it.
Hard to watch … there is such a thing as too much commitment to the overhook.
