Welcome to Midnight Mania!<\/p>\n

We start tonight by looking back at the three biggest stories from Tuesday, February 24, 2026.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. UFC Houston’s Sean Strickland isn’t impressed with new bonus, Paramount pay increase: ‘No one deserves to be paid more’: Strickland is surprisingly one of the most vocal athletes campaigning for better pay, or at least publicly acknowledging the problem.<\/li>\n
  2. Merab time! Former UFC champion signs with RAF to debut in Philadelphia on April 18: Merab Dvalishvili is the perfect fighter to compete for RAF, but hopefully he won’t fall in line with some of the elite 22-year-olds on the world stage.<\/li>\n
  3. UFC superstar reacts (badly) to Zuffa Boxing’s outrageous $15 million Conor Benn single-fight deal – ‘I’ve never heard of that guy’: It’s curious that a popular UFC star could eventually do his thing like Jake Paul. Is there anyone else big enough besides McGregor?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Graphic Video: We’ve seen fighters copy Max Holloway’s signature point with terrible results, but this is the first time we’ve seen Justin Gaethje’s backflip backfire so fatally. <\/p>\n

    I’m sure it’s UFC could do<\/em> I buy the whole competitive jiu-jitsu scene, but the problem remains. why<\/em>? BJJ isn’t very fun to watch, and I’ve been fighting for 16 years!<\/p>\n

    Don’t take anything a dedicated professional wrestler says with a grain of salt. But Josh Barnett has quite the explanation for Antonio Inoki’s takedown of Lyoto Machida!<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n
    \n

    This wasn’t "Bashing Inoki” or "Symbolizing respect and fighting spirit.” Mr. Inoki hit Lyoto after the match because he was angry at Ryoto’s performance, and I should know because not only was I there, but I was involved in booking the match in the first place. https:\/\/t.co\/kiwSZgUMkF<\/p>\n

    Hi Vicente Luque, I really enjoyed your rise to welterweight. Does anyone believe that a move to middleweight will revitalize his career?<\/p>\n
