Midnight Mania! Not-Retired Blachowicz Calls Out Whittaker
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Thursday, Aug. 6, 2026.
- Justin Gaethje’s manager shares timeline for UFC champion’s return: ‘It has to be massive’: Never expect a combat sports athlete to walk away at the opportune time.
- Jamahal Hill roasts ‘salty’ boxers after viral King Green beatdown: ‘Y’all are limited fighters’: Hill crosses the line from funny to annoying often, but every once in a while, he hits the sweet spot.
- Kamaru Usman ‘not going to retire’ from UFC because ‘he’s not losing’ — ‘He needs to go back to welterweight’: Well … one of these statements is true.
I would love to see Jan Blachowicz call it a career, but this could still be a fun matchup.
Hey, @robwhittakermma! Let’s turn your words into action. 🤜🤛

I’m definitely a Quillan Salkilld fan. He’s been a fun mix of physicality, skill, and strategy so far.
Vegas, you ready?!
🇦🇺’s @QuillanSalkilld has arrived to the fight capital for this weekend’s main event!

Steve Asplund seems like a cool dude. I appreciate any fighter who has a sense of perspective.
Steven Asplund was shocked being nearly a 3-1 favorite over Guilherme Pat
“WTF are we talking about!? I’m 1-1 and he’s 1-1, this is HW anything can happen. I get a ton of love for my story but stories don’t win fights. I gotta win, so let’s show the world what I already know” pic.twitter.com/Zy9Hx3wwOy

Does anyone expect this fight to last more than three minutes? It’ll be interesting to see Landwehr at 155.

If you have the means, considering a donation to Danny Silva’s GoFundMe.

“They found a massive thrombosis in a vein in my neck, and part of the clot had broken off and traveled to my lung, causing a pulmonary embolism. This news has changed my life.”… pic.twitter.com/9Vv1H3ekfx

Good luck turning away Daniel Cormier’s pressure when you’re only throwing light, polite punches.

Tai Tuivasa is easy to root for. Can American Top Team help turn his career around?
The initial toe stab counter was so cool.

Looking low and throwing over the top is good strategy in every combat sport.
