Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of New Year’s Day 2026.
- Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson full fight card, DAZN start time: We’re about four weeks away from Lopez vs. Stevenson — who ya’ got?
- Chomp! Madman Merab Dvalishvili bites into live crayfish in shocking video: Merab Dvalishvili makes content unlike any other fighter. He’s truly committed to the bit.
- ‘Feast’ mode! Alex Pereira, UFC light heavyweights lose to prime Daniel Cormier because ‘there’s no wrestlers’: After the Ankalaev KO, I think it’s unfair to count out Pereira in any hypothetical Light Heavyweight matchup. He’s proven he doesn’t just fall over in the face of a Combat Sambo ace!

Joaquin Buckley vs. Belal Muhammad sounds like a reasonable matchup for both men.
The real big news of NYE 2025 is that Alex Pereira and Tracy Cortez are social media official! Somebody check on Brian Ortega, stat!
Naoya Inoue has beautiful movement.
Melquizael Costa got in one last boxing sparring session before the end of 2025.
