The light heavyweight title is on the line at UFC 320 next week, but the UFC Perth main event could produce a surprising No. 1 contender. Carlos Ulberg takes on Dominick Reyes on Saturday and while the two have taken vastly different paths to get to this spot, what they have in common are a string of results that have pushed them towards title contention.

It's a massive weekend ahead in the combat sports world with the boxing world taking the top billing as Canelo Alvare returns to the squared circle to face Terence Crawford in Las Vegas this Saturday. While the bout has significant stakes, and is a huge fight, does it feel as big as it should just days away from the first boxing event promoted by Dana White? On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the matchup, the burning questions, and how well it may do on Netflix compared to this past November's Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul event. Additionally, they talk the fallout from UFC Paris, Nassourdine Imavov's big win and where he fits in the Khamzat Chimaev sweepstakes, Brian Ortega breaking his silence about the UFC Shanghai weigh cut chaos and performance against Aljamain Sterling, Noche UFC headlined by Jean Silva vs. Diego Lopes, how the card stacks up overall, and much more. Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and José Youngs.

The UFC's middleweight division is in a fascinating place right now. Khamzat Chimaev is the brand new middleweight champion after dominating Dricus du Plessis at UFC 319, which has shaken up the MMA Fighting pound-for-pound rankings.

Lee in the hosting chair to discuss all of the changes going on in the rankings since we last spoke — including the madness at middleweight, Chimaev's rise and du Plessis' fall down the pound-for-pound rankings, and ranking who has the best shot to beat Chimaev in Nassourdine Imavov, Caio Borralho, Reinier de Riddder, and Anthony Hernandez.

Following UFC 319, Khamzat Chimaev is the brand new UFC middleweight champion after delivering a lopsided victory against Dricus du Plessis in the main event. While Chimaev was in full control for 99 percent of the bout, the performance has garnered from groans from UFC fans and the MMA community. Is that fair, and if so, which fighter should take the blame for it? On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the UFC 319 main event, the backlash it has received despite the impressive showing from the new champion, and what's next for du Plessis following his first UFC loss.
