Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, March 3, 2026.
- Shocker! Two fighters released following UFC Mexico City, including 0-4 Middleweight bust: Here’s a UFC release that nobody is complaining about.
- Logan Paul explains how Floyd Mayweather scammed him out of $1.5 million: ‘I don’t think I’m ever getting the money’: How many years until this lawsuit settles?
- Looks like we’re back to square one with Conor McGregor, who downplays ‘summer’ return amid UFC ‘negotiations’: I want to get off Mr. Notorious’ Wild Ride. Seriously, does anyone actually get excited about the potential of a McGregor comeback anymore?
Insomnia
There are a lot of wild rumors about Daniel Rodriguez’s current location/status, but no official answers. Where is “D-Rod?”
Chris Weidman getting his leg snapped after snapping Anderson Silva’s leg has to be the least likely coincidence in MMA history.
After many years of struggle, Flyweight’s future is looking brighter than ever.
Ryan Garcia talking s—t in a very literal manner:
Michael Page talking about fighter pay like this on a major news network is not going to ingratiate him with UFC brass.
Speaking of fighters the UFC doesn’t care for, Raoni Barcelos is on a great four-fight win streak! Give him a name!
King Green doesn’t wrestle very often, but he usually looks quite good when he does (Paddy Pimblett being the exception).
Slips, rips, and KO clips
Well-placed power shots produce the finish:
Beautiful cross followed by the same-side head kick:
The second kick landed with the toes, which does not feel good.

Spring forward is a holiday in my household. Long live the sun!
