Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight!
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Canelo Alvarez went toe-to-toe with UFC 306 last weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada, but the boxing superstar still pulled off huge numbers.
Despite the massive event that was Noche UFC from inside the Sphere in “Sin City,” Alvarez still booked a title defense against Edgar Berlanga for the same night in the same town. It was a ballsy move for all parties involved as UFC spent over $ 20 million to stage UFC 306. No doubt, it was going to be a huge test for Canelo’s drawing power to see if he could steal the attention in Vegas.
Surprisingly, the middleweight champion still pulled off huge numbers. According to a recent report by Sports Business Journal, 650,000 people purchased the Alvarez vs. Berlanga pay-per-view (PPV) and watched Canelo dismantle the New York native over 12 rounds (highlights HERE). In addition to the PPV buys, the gate for Canelo vs. Berlanga came in at a whopping $ 17 million. That’s short of UFC 306’s massive $ 22 million gate — which is a new company record — but still a huge cash grab for Canelo.
It’s unknown at this time what the PPV numbers look like for UFC 306, but it could be close to Canelo’s.
Insomnia
Surprising? Sucks either way.
I believe God has a plan and is protecting me to give my best for @MovsarUFC. I need all my tools for an opponent like Movsar and hopefully he’s willing to fight me when I’m healed up. Thank you to the @UFC medical team for looking out for my health and protecting me from myself.… pic.twitter.com/9nJVf14mew

Jake Paul can leave his disguise at home the next time he wants to attend a UFC event.
This past weekend, the social influencer-turned-boxing enthusiast posted a video claiming he had to sneak into UFC 306 at Sphere in Las Vegas wearing a wig, fake beard, and glasses because he was supposedly banned from the UFC. While that makes for good content to post on social media, Dana White shrugged off the idea he banned Paul or anybody else from attending events when speaking to reporters following a Contender Series event Tuesday in Las Vegas.
“Oscar De La Hoya was there [at UFC 306]. OK, let’s put it that way,” White said with a laugh when referencing his tumultuous relationship with the former boxing champion. “Nobody’s banned from the UFC.
“Listen, that kid knows how to market and do his thing and all that good shit. Jake Paul’s welcome to come to UFC.”
Paul attended UFC 306 to support his business partner Sean O’Malley after they teamed together to launch a men’s body care line together called ‘W.’ Unfortunately for Paul, he had to witness O’Malley suffer a unanimous decision defeat to Merab Dvalishvili in the main event.
Over the years, Paul and White have engaged in a volatile war of words, but lately the UFC CEO has taken a different approach any time he’s asked about the 27-year-old fighter from Cleveland.
Rather than erupting at whatever Paul says or does, White has largely just brushed off the comments and refused to engage in any kind of back and forth with him publicly.
Even Paul declaring that he was banned from UFC events only got a chuckle out of White. In other words, if Paul wants to attend another UFC event in the future, he doesn’t have to play dress-up.

Austin Hubbard has a new opponent for UFC 307.
With Nate Landwehr out, Hubbard now meets Alexander Hernandez at the UFC’s upcoming pay-per-view event on Oct. 5 in Salt Lake City, multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirm to MMA Fighting. Hubbard first revealed the change on social media.
Hubbard is 1-1 inside the octagon since returning to the UFC after competing on season 31 of The Ultimate Fighter. In the TUF 31 lightweight final, Hubbard was stopped by season winner Kurt Holobaugh at UFC 292 in August 2023. “Thud” bounced back to pick up his first promotional win in three years with a decision win over Michal Figlak at UFC Vegas 91 in April.
Hernandez looks to get back in the win column after dropping two straight, and four of his past five outings. After defeating Jim Miller in February 2023, Hernandez lost decisions to Bill Algeo and Damon Jackson.
UFC 307 is headlined by a light heavyweight title fight between champion Alex Pereira and Khalil Rountree.
