Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Let’s start the night off by taking a look back over the three biggest stories of Tuesday, April 21, 2026.
- Conor McGregor still haunted by catastrophic leg break ahead of UFC 329? ‘It can affect your head’: I can only imagine this would be a really difficult injury to overcome. Even a standard knee or shoulder injury is hard to trust fully while getting back into live training.
- UFC Vegas 116 adds last-minute bout to try and save forgettable Apex card: Francis Marshall is better than his 3-3 UFC record, so I’m expecting a fun fight here.
- UFC Vegas 118 fight card adds Bryce Mitchell vs. Victor Henry ‘Sin City’ showdown: Thus far, Henry has been pretty tough to hold down in his UFC career, so this should be a really interesting test for Bantamweight “Thug Nasty.”
