Welcome to Midnight Mania!

Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Friday, April 17, 2026.

Carlos Ulberg goes under the knife after UFC 327 injury: ‘Knee surgery done’: See you in a year, “Black Jag.”
UFC champ Carlos Ulberg ‘snapped’ his ACL and suffered ‘tibia damage,’ unlikely to return before 2027: It’s good to hear that Ulberg only tore his ACL and that his other ligaments remain intact.
Colby Covington rips into ‘steroid cheater’ Jon Jones: ‘He was doing it in college’: Any time Colby Covington needs to work his way into a headline, he brings up rooming with Jon Jones in college 20 years ago. What a lucky room assignment for “Chaos!”

Insomnia

Mark Hunt addresses the recent domestic violence allegations:
