MMA Mania opens Tuesday open thread for June 23, 2026

MMA Mania launched its daily open thread for Tuesday, June 23, 2026, offering fight fans a space to discuss the latest developments in combat sports and beyond.

Site editor Tim Edwards, who has covered mixed martial arts since 2015, curated the thread with links to recent stories including Alex Pereira's cryptic retirement hint and Paddy Pimblett's guarantee that he will submit Benoit Saint Denis in their upcoming bout. The thread also noted Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship's booking of Boston's Fenway Park for an event, marking another step in BKFC's expansion into iconic American sports venues.
