Midnight Mania! Watch Heavyweight Poatan Spar 6’8” Teixeira

1. Graying Zabit Magomedsharipov blames dodgy Yair Rodriguez, UFC runaround for sudden retirement: I’m not part of the “Zabit would’ve been champ!” camp, but I’d have liked to see him try.
2. Ronda Rousey rips into ‘chauvinistic pig’ ruining UFC: ‘Keep trying to fail upward, motherf–ker!’: Slowly, Hunter Campbell has taken Dana White’s role as the guy who gets blamed for everything.
3. Nate Diaz goes off on Strickland vs. Khamzat manufactured UFC 328 beef: ‘Fake f—king puppets’: I think if Strickland had just apologized without talking about selling the fight, the whole reconciliation would’ve been better received.

**Insomnia**

Tallison Teixeira didn’t look to have a fun experience sparring Alex Pereira, but he does deserve credit for being the first human in history to be visibly larger than “Poatan.”

🤯💥 Alex Pereira looks good while sparring taller No.15 Heavyweight Tallison Teixeira.

— Josie Aldo (@JosieAldoMMA) May 10, 2026 Funny story, I’ve heard Andre Fili make this exact same complaint about people holding onto his oversized feet. Maybe a more common fighter predicament than anybody realizes? Michael Johnson nearly brought to tears by his feet being too big

**Slips, rips, and KO clips**

Young Jose Aldo was a ball of athleticism and violence.

Modern love!

In Miami, two inmates on murder charges who never met face-to-face had a baby through an AIR DUCT.

Daisy (29) and Joan (23) fell in love via the vent between floors. He wrapped his semen in plastic, tied it to a rope made of torn bedsheets, and lowered it down.

She pulled it… pic.twitter.com/6NTVvDsLkh
