Welcome to Midnight Mania!
The Middleweight division is about to gain a great deal of clarity! ESPN’s Brett Okamoto has reported that August will see a pair of main event Middleweight battles in Paulo Costa vs. Jared Cannonier and Darren Till vs. Derek Brunson.
Costa and Cannonier are set to collide on August 21. Paulo Costa enters the bout following a difficult loss to Israel Adesanya, but “Borrachinha” remains a highly-ranked Middleweight elite. Similarly, Cannonier was outdueled by Robert Whittaker in his last bout, but “Killa Gorilla” was riding a serious wave of momentum and closing in on a title shot prior to that loss.
