UFC shelves wrestlers entering the CBS/Paramount TV Deal.
Arman Tsarukyan and Kyoji Horiguchi both reestablished themselves as top contenders. Ian Garry reestablished himself as the guy who sort of makes other middleweights look mediocre, sometimes.

Arman Tsarukyan staked his claim as the top lightweight contender in the UFC with a spectacular performance against Dan Hooker in the main event of UFC Qatar this past Saturday, and he wants his chance at Ilia Topuria and his world title. Will the performance, and timing, work out for Tsarukyan, or will he have to watch Paddy Pimblett fight for the gold? On a special Thanksgiving week edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses where Tsarukyan goes from his big win, and how the lightweight division may shake out heading into 2026. Additionally, topics may include who should be next for welterweight champ Islam Makhachev after Ian Machado Garry defeated Belal Muhammad to cap off moving month for the surging contenders, reports of Kayla Harrison vs. Amanda Nunes being the frontrunner to headline the UFC's first big numbered event on Paramount, the Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua press conference, and much more.

Prior to Arman Tsarukyan's win over Dan Hooker on Saturday at UFC Fight Night in Qatar, we figured Tsarukyan was still on the outside looking in at the lightweight title picture. He's long come off as a fairly nondescript, vaguely dickish yet undeniably tough guy who wasn't offering much in the puts-butts-in-seats department. He'd already blown one title shot by pulling out of UFC 311 on a day's notice — and the UFC still has Paddy Pimblett waiting as a more marketable and presumably far easier next opponent for Ilia Topuria. But this performance against Hooker? A full-on beatdown. And maybe Tsarukyan's spoiled-brat persona is starting to take on the air of something a promoter can actually use. The question now: Can Tsarukyan force Topuria's hand? Will Topuria lose face if he takes a gimme fight against Pimblett first? And will the UFC's preference for Paddy the Baddie win out? Plus, Ian Garry keeps winning while somehow underperforming. And, of course, Conor McGregor has decided he is the great-grandson of God himself. Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's episode of Good Guy/Bad Guy, Daniel & Chael recap a loaded fight night from Qatar this past weekend that saw two contenders rise to the top. First, did Arman Tsarukyan do enough to officially cement himself as Ilia Topuria's next opponent for the lightweight championship? If not Arman, then who... and if not Arman, than what else does Arman need to do to finally get a crack at the title? In the co main event, Ian Machado Garry reigned victorious over Belal Muhammad and called for a shot at Islam Makhachev for his first title defense of the welterweight crown. There are a ton of contenders vying for the shot at the champion, so no better time for DC to break out his match-making skills. Then, ahead of WWE Survivor Series this saturday, "Dirty" Dom Mysterio joins the show as he gets ready to seek revenge on John Cena. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jim and Matt kick off the show with British bantamweight Davey Grant, who joins live from the UFC Performance Institute as a brand-new Las Vegas resident. Fresh off rehabbing a torn bicep and injured nose, Davey talks about settling into life stateside, training his kids at Syndicate MMA, and why moving to America has changed the way he studies the sport — including watching fights live with a pen and paper to stay sharp on evolving MMA trends.The guys then unpack all the biggest storylines from UFC Qatar, where Matt takes a well-earned victory lap after going 2–0 in his picks — correctly calling Arman Tsarukyan's arm-triangle finish and Volkan Oezdemir's stoppage win.Later, women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko joins the show to discuss balancing her pursuit of all-time greatness with her creative “side quests,” from acting roles to drawing on her degree in film direction. With several options in front of her, Valentina reveals she's keeping a close eye on a potential trilogy with Amanda Nunes — especially now that the Lioness has expressed interest in meeting her again, this time at 125 pounds.Finally, in the wake of Ian Machado Garry's statement decision win, which capped off two straight weeks of top-flight welterweight action, Jim and Matt close the show by debating which 170-pound contender has earned the next shot at Islam Makhachev's welterweight title.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
