On today's episode, Mario Kalpou talks about surviving in the wild and his past experiencesMario Kalpou's lifelong fascination with nature's bounty took root at a young age.

He deepened his love of harvesting from the wild and honed his already advanced outdoor skills when he traded the metropolitan restaurant world for rural New Zealand. Kalpou opened an extreme-adventure lodge and became a professional guide for overseas clients. During this time, he observed not only how being immersed in the outdoors positively affected each client but a realization that being connected to the source of free range, wild food echoed the interest of his chefs and patrons in the restaurant world.

They discuss why Rose Namajunas losing the title is more motivation for Joanna Jedrzejczyk to perform against Zhang Weili, whether or not Taila Santos has the skillset needed to defeat UFC Women's Flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko, in the co-main event, and why the UFC Light Heavyweight champion Glover Teixeira has a clear path to victory against Jiri Prochazka in the main event.  Then, Beneil Dariush joins the show. He reveals his reaction to Conor McGregor bashing him on Twitter, explains what common mistake Dustin Poirier and Justin Gaethje made when they faced Charles Oliveira for the UFC Lightweight belt, and shares why he might be open to taking a fight with someone ranked below him.  Matt and Brett close the show by previewing the rest of the card on UFC 275, including the UFC Flyweight showdown between Manel Kape and Rogerio Bontorin, and the featured bout of the prelims between UFC Middleweights Brendan Allen and Jacob Malkoun.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Glover Teixeira will defend his UFC light heavyweight title for the first time against Jiri Prochazka in the main event of Saturday's UFC 275 card in Singapore. While the matchup is fascinating, is there an argument to be made that both fighters are being undervalued and overlooked? This week on Between the Links, the panel will discuss the 205-pound title fight and where both guys could go based on the result. In addition, topics will include whether or not Taila Santos would pull off the biggest upset in UFC history with a win over Valentina Shevchenko, the highly anticipated rematch between Zhang Weili and Joanna Jedrzejczyk, and who the shift to a three round fight favors more, the low-key banger of the event, a quick recap of UFC Vegas 56, and much more. Host Mike Heck moderates the discussion between MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and UFC lightweight Joe Solecki.
