Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Friday, Aug. 7, 2026.
Washed-up Conor McGregor ‘nothing more than a money grab’ for UFC — ‘Look at his face … he’s done’ : Is it fair to say the McGregor stock has never been lower? At this point, losing in normal fashion would be a big improvement.
Daniel Cormier: Allan Nascimento’s death led to Charles Oliveira’s removal from UFC 331 : Honestly, I don’t think anyone was that thrilled about the Oliveira vs. Tsarukyan rematch anyway.
Not-scrolling Ian Garry dumps social media, responds to ‘online backlash’ ahead of UFC 330 : Being able to ignore social media is an asset in all walks of life, but it’s downright essential for a public figure.
Insomnia
Jared Gordon threw that head kick at 1/4 speed and it still was a complete shock … credit to the random though, he seemed pretty aware about what was going to happen.

After decades in the sport/public eye, Forrest Griffin is a certified good guy.
Dana White on Forrest Griffin: He found out his fighter was showing up every day at a charity that feeds kids who go home on Friday and don’t eat again until Monday. Forrest packed food for hours, wrote a check, and left. No cameras. No social media. No credit. Just a man… pic.twitter.com/ZD29s9oqUP

Big men, on the whole, do not like getting hit in the body.
