Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night by looking back on the three biggest stories of Monday, July 28, 2025.
Why is Brock Lesnar banned from WWE? The legal ‘problems’ of former UFC champion stated: retiring with the wilderness feels like a reasonable move for Lesnar at this stage of his life/career anyway. However, I expect a comeback in the worst case in a few years.
Two dead after car accident with wife, son of UFC -Gededer Shavkat Rakhmonov: just tragic news from Kazakhstan.
UFC 320 Back -up hunter? Jiri Prochazka agrees in Khalil Rountree in Sloot, Save Ankalaev-Pereira 2 … If necessary: Jiri Procazka definitely deserves the backup slot, although it would be a shame to lose his country “Fight of the Night” versus Rountere.
Insomnia
Caio Borralho says that he is the official backup for UFC 319, who feels like a necessary role given Khamzat’s history of illness. However, Borralho also has a history of coming up, and Nassourdine Imavov is not impressed anyway!
Back -up? @Borralhocaio Good to take my leftovers, you always come after, you always stay behind me. It’s your destination!

People forget that Bethe Correia was unintentionally one of the funniest UFC hunters of all time.
Umar Nurmagomedov receives more flack for his broken hand than most, but I think he should be at least two fights of a different title shot.
Petr Yan digs to Umar Nurmagomedov for inactivity:
“Umar lost his last fight and he has not fought since. They have the chance to wait and not train for six months.

Reinier de Ridder vs. Dricus Du Plessis would create MMA sequencies that has never been seen by the human eye before.
This is really a very cool way to prevent rotating stairs, as well as an effective deterrent. Nobody wants to be thrown on their heads!
Cory Sandhagen responds to doubters on the internet:
Slips, cracks and ko -clips
My favorite thing about backyard fist battles are the random views of Amateur Streetfighters.
A name to remember prior to the following Contenders series season.
Javier Reyes (21-5) will compete this season on the Contender Series of Dana White, Sources say.

Being really long and throwing a lot of knees is the new MMA meta.
Random land
A boxing back … he really jumped in that hay maker!
