Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, July 13, 2026.
- UFC 329 results: Matches to make for ‘McGregor vs. Holloway 2’ main card winners: I’m really not sure where Holloway goes from here. Really, you could argue for a title shot or a step down. He kind of needs to rebound from the Charles loss but also smoked Gaethje not that long ago …
- Despite bad blood, Dustin Poirier defends Conor McGregor amid UFC 329 conspiracy theories — ‘I don’t think he’s a quitter’: There are easier ways to quit a fight than a leaping kick-induced injury.
- NFL star who left ESPN for FOX Sports demands UFC 329 refunds following Conor McGregor fiasco: This is the fight game. Weird s—t happens all the time, and that’s part of the risk of buying a ticket. UFC 329 still slapped!
Here it is: we have found a return opponent for the Mac in April 2027.
Brandon Royval vs. Lone’er Kavanagh and Cory Sandhagen vs. Mario Bautista back-to-back was a major highlight of 2026 for me.

Sounds like Terrance McKinney is heading to Welterweight. Think a lesser weight cut buys him more than 2.5 minutes of cardio?

Don’t make fun of Bobby Knuckle’s new physique.
Robert Whittaker didn’t appreciate the UFC broadcast team’s comments about his physique at light heavyweight:
“Are we gonna talk about the elephant in the room? The commentary calling me fat and talking about my weight? Did I look that out of shape?

I didn’t realize there was such a precedent for Conor McGregor opening fights with such a fancy kick. No wonder Max was ready to circle off …
“Why would McGregor begin his #UFC329 fight with a kick?!”

Major opportunity for TUF winner Joseph Morales opposite ex-champ Brandon Moreno. Fun fact: the two actually trained together during Moreno’s TUF run way back in the day …

UFC has fixed this error ahead of UFCOKC*, but a social media intern might get the pink slip.

I think khaki pants are a more questionable fighting attire than denim jeans.

I have loved Charles Oliveira’s anaconda finish for many years now and am excited to play with it from the d’arce grip, aka the Paddy Pimblett variation.
