Lone'er Kavanagh proved once again that fortune favors the bold. Now what does his future hold? Saturday's UFC Mexico event concluded with Kavanagh putting on a career-best performance to win a decision over two-time flyweight champion Brandon Moreno. Kavanagh made the most of a short-notice opportunity and is now poised to climb even higher in the rankings, but how quickly should the matchmakers push the budding prospect? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Alexander K. Lee and special guest Jed Meshew discuss what's next for Kavanagh now that he's landed firmly in the top 10 of his division. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for David Martinez, who defeated tough veteran Marlon Vera in the co-main event, the inimitable King Green after his upset knockout of Daniel Zellhuber, plus we do our best to find dance partners for up-and-coming fighters Edgar Chairez, Imanol Rodriguez, and Santiago Luna, and more. All that and a big assist from the listener picks. Follow Alexander K. Lee: @AlexanderKLee Follow Jed Meshew: @JedKMeshew Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
Arman Tsarukyan did it again. On Saturday night at RAF 6, Tsarukyan wrestled influencer Georgio Poullas in a bout that quickly turned chaotic. Tsarukyan and Poullas got extremely physical during the wrestling match, with the referee repeatedly being forced to intervene as the bout blurred the lines between wrestling and Powerslap. Then, immediately after Tsarukyan won the match, he tackled Poullas and punched him, leading to a massive brawl in the arena. It was another instance of Tsarukyan letting his temper get the best of him, and will it once again lead to the UFC benching him in the lightweight title picture? Not only was Tsarukyan's outburst wild, it also overshadowed the UFC Mexico event, where Lone'er Kavanagh stepped in on short notice to handle Brandon Moreno in the main event, delivering the best performance of his career as he beat up the former two-time champion over 25 minutes. Fresh off a vicious KO loss, Kavanagh rebounded as well as possible, and is now a real player in the flyweight title picture. Following RAF 6 and UFC Mexico, MMA Fighting's Alexander K. Lee and Jed Meshew react to both events, Arman's big outburst, Kavanagh's sensational showing, whether Moreno still has title aspirations, King Green turning back the clock, and more.

Brandon Moreno is back in Mexico, and this time his back is against the wall. On Saturday, Moreno takes on short-notice replacement Lone'er Kavanagh in the main event of UFC Mexico, at a pivotal moment in the two-time flyweight champion's career.

Sean Strickland delivered a big-time performance after a year on the sidelines, dominating and stopping the surging Anthony Hernandez in the main event of UFC Houston. Strickland called out middleweight champ Khamzat Chimaev after the fight, but did he do enough to leapfrog Nasourdine Imavov? Following the UFC Fight Night event in Houston, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K.

Sean Strickland and Anthony Hernandez are set to do battle as the UFC heads back to Texas. On Saturday, UFC Houston goes down at Toyota Center, headlined by a middleweight matchup between former champion Strickland and surging contender “Fluffy” Hernandez, with middleweight title implications on the line. Strickland is a popular former champion coming off a win over Paulo Costa, and has already laid the seeds for a fight with current champion Khamzat Chimaev, while Hernandez has won eight in a row, positioning himself as one of 185's biggest bogeymen, but can either surpass top contender Nassourdine Imavov with a standout performance on Saturday? MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and Alexander K. Lee preview UFC Houston and what's at stake between Strickland and Hernandez. Additionally, Meshew and Lee discuss Strickland's controversial pre-fight comments, the banger of a co-main event between Geoff Neal and Uros Medic, Melqi Costa's rising star, Dan Ige's status as a featherweight litmus test, the undercard bouts they're most excited for, and more.

The MMA world will remember 2025 for a number of crazy moments and breakout stars — as well as one of the most controversial voting moments in MMA awards history. Join the MMA Fighting staff as we look back at the biggest highs, surprises, and most unbelievable moments of 2025 in a special year-end retrospective. We're honoring all the nights that defined a rollercoaster of a year this sport has seen in quite some time — and handing out plenty of hardware in celebration of the knockouts, submissions, fights, fighters, and breakthrough competitors who made sure 2025 was a year that will be remembered. This year, the categories seemed tougher than ever in regards to determining a winner, along with figuring out who belonged in the top-five overall. We invite you to stick around for the final award, which features controversy like never before in the history of MMA Fighting award shows. Check out MMA Fighting's 2025 year-end award show above, hosted by our own Mike Heck and featuring a panel of Alexander K. Lee and Jed Meshew.

Manel Kape had the chance to muscle his way into the flyweight title picture at UFC Vegas 112 and he more than took advantage of the opportunity. It took a little over three minutes for Kape to remind everyone he's the most dangerous knockout threat at 125 pounds as he took out Brandon Royval. Now, riding a three-fight win streak, he has his sights set on newly crowned champion Joshua Van. With a card in Van's hometown of Houston around the corner, does it make sense to throw that together ASAP? And where does that leave presumptive No. 1 contender Tatsuro Taira? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss who Van is most likely to defend against first, who stole the show on the last UFC card of 2025, and who embarrassed themselves on the microphone. Additionally, we make future matchups for main card winners Kevin Vallejos, Cezary Olekziejczuk, Melquizael Costa, and King Green, and take matchup suggestions from the listeners.
