(Photo by Chris Unger/Zuffa LLC) Welcome to Midnight Mania! Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Friday, May 22, 2026.
Kyle Daukaus on getting hand-picked for UFC White House: ‘Bo Nickal was looking for an easier fight’ : I hope Daukaus is able to push the pace and give Nickal at least a bit of trouble. ‘Disconnect’ between UFC and retired Colby Covington extends beyond White House snub — ‘There’s a lot of unhappiness’ : Now that Covington is getting paid to wrestle, his UFC retirement makes perfect sense. Tom Aspinall offers update on return to fighting following ‘recent scan’ : Aspinall’s return to training has been delayed even further.
Between the knee injury, Jones saga, and now his eye problems, Aspinall’s career has faced some absurd delays. Insomnia Larry Wheels has clearly trained a bit of wrestling since the clips a week ago, which bought him about 20 seconds of competence versus Merab before his gas tank failed. Larry Wheels thought he could survive a round with former UFC champ Merab Dvalishvili He tapped 3 times in 1 minute 😭 pic.
