A new Midnight Mania roundup from Wednesday, July 1, 2026, highlighted a busy slate of MMA storylines, led by a study claiming that more than 71 percent of Conor McGregor’s fight predictions are wrong.
The feature, part of a recurring series, also reported that Ilia Topuria is healing well after a beatdown at UFC Freedom 250, offering an encouraging update following his latest outing.
The article further detailed a back-and-forth involving Michael Bisping and promoter Eddie Hearn, with Bisping responding to criticism about his relationship with the UFC. Among the phrases thrown his way were “On the UFC payroll” and “Company Man,” while another voice pushed back with, “I care about fighters!” and dismissed some of the talk as “horse sh*t”.
Elsewhere in the roundup, former UFC champion Tim Sylvia’s Super Heavyweight run was described as nearly over, with a nod to his longtime nickname, “The Maine-iac.” Rising talent Coby Fehr was noted for making a strong start to his PFL career, while Mason Jones, referred to as the “Welsh Dragon!”, was mentioned along with his many years spent training in Sacramento.
The piece also touched on Jordan Vucenic’s first run in the UFC, which featured two tough opponents, and included the line, “I’ll just never visit Poland again,” as part of the broader collection of notable MMA notes from the day.
