Welcome to Midnight Mania!
When it comes to the situation with Max Holloway, Dana White knows as much as we do – that is, not much. Via MMAFighting.com:
"C'= is a strange situation, "said White at a press conference for UFC 226 Thursday. "I was talking to Jeff Novitzky in the back and there are a few different ones – some people think it's related to the concussion and some people think it's related to weight, so they do not. Did not really understand what that is. But according to him, he feels good, but obviously, he is not well. So, let's continue to try to figure out what's wrong with Max Holloway. "
" In the meantime, there is no way that guy is fighting anytime soon. "
It's a sad day for the MMA Community and a worrying development in Max Holloway's career." Known for his inhuman tenacity and sustainability, which allowed him to take the best shots of José Aldo, Conor McGregor and Jeremy Stephens among others, Holloway now has three fights canceled this year for various reasons.
White said Jeremy Stephens had started losing weight hoping that Ortega would fight him in the short term, but that did not work.
"Literally, Jeremy Stephens will not stop blowing me up, he wants this fight so bad, he said that he would take it with a short notice "said White." He is already cutting weight with the hope that Ortega will accept the fight. Ortega refused the fight, so I do not know. We will see what happens. "
It seems that the UFC, especially during the week of the international fight, has a dark hex, but Dana ended up accepting that there was nothing to be done to eliminate Injuries
"It's impossible," White said. "It's impossible to make sure what happened in Holloway does not happen. Listen, you are dealing with human beings. People get sick, things happen, it's unfortunate, but it happens. There is nothing we can do about it.
"We did everything you could to make these people healthier, give them a safer place to train, eat the right food, we have a restaurant at the PI where they can eat for free and we have done all we can to try to limit that. "
If his symptoms are weight-related, as White has suggested, there are certainly things that they can do to try to mitigate the extreme weight loss. If it is related to a concussion, there is unfortunately no way to be hit in the face in a sport where it is the main goal. Let's hope that Max can get the help he needs and return to full health – whatever that means in this sport – to the cage.

The old gods clearly have MMA under a powerful and powerful curse.
Maybe that's why we're cursed
Derrick Lewis is sort of booing Daniel Cormier about Popeyes chicken … that I do not understand, because Cormier loves Popeyes .
Cormier says Lewis told him backstage
He asked Lewis what is his beef with Cormier?
"He did not respect Popeye's chicken."

I think we'll see Francis Ngannou fighting for the title one day.
Why Michael Chiesa fights
I thought Chiesa's mullet was pretty bad …
I'm extremely happy for Saturday, even with Max Holloway's card
Paul Felder vs. Mike Perry is going be incredible. I did not realize that Felder would look bigger than Perry.
Weight Clbades
Daniel Cormier is rough on his pad holders. I have counted at least two headshots there
I do not know if this guy is gone but he made a very intense effort to do it

Matt Serra calmly pinning a drunken brawler on the floor and sitting on his chest was by far our most read story of the day.
This one is real, and the guy from Just Bleed does not really follow the sport anymore. He is an accountant.
Truth. That made me very sad – not because the fight was canceled, but because my favorite Hawaiian featherweight champion suffered neurological damage.

Jacob Debets is an excellent writer with a solid understanding of the issues facing the Ultimate Fighting Championship and their fighters. Here he looks at what it means to be a businessman in the new era, looking at Donald Cerrone's career.
Last coin for @sherdogdotcom :
"At the age of money fighting, interim belts and divisional stagnation, the attitude of laissez-faire Cerrone's fight against fighting is as rare as it is inadvisable … a faceless conglomerate has supplanted the much-romanced patriarch in Lorenzo Fertita "https://t.co/HCd1YlHZ47– Jacob Debets ( @jacob_debets) July 5, 2018
