(Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC) Welcome to Midnight Mania! Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Monday, April 6, 2026.

Four fighters transported to ‘Sin City’ hospital following ultra-violent UFC Vegas 115 card, including main event loser : I truly cannot believe we saw a fighter get knocked out by a soccer kick, and then the fight kept going on. It’s never been more clear that the rules are suggestions! Dana White ‘completely removed’ from contract negotiations amid growing criticism of UFC fighter pay: Fight fans don’t hate Hunter Campbell and UFC matchmakers enough.

They’re to blame for the ensloppification of the UFC! Jon Jones releases statement after road rage incident caught on camera: ‘I’m proud of myself’ : My outside perspective here is that Jones desperately needs to leave Albuquerque. He only gets into trouble there.

Insomnia Islam Makhachev claims that Ilia Topuria requested an “unrealistic” purse to avoid fighting him at the White House. And if you think to yourself, “This is definitely an Ali Abdelaziz tweet,” Islam’s account is refuting that accusation! I’m tired of hearing made-up stories from Topuria and his team.
