There was a full combat sports slate last weekend with UFC Vegas 113, PFL Dubai, and BKFC Knucklemania 6 all going down on Saturday. In the UFC, Mario Bautista throttled Vinicius Oliveira, Kyoji Horiguchi stamped himself as a legitimate flyweight contender by schooling Amir Albazi, and Rizvan Kuniev and Jailton Almeida had one of the worst fights you'll ever see—leading to Almeida's release this week. Meanwhile, Usman Nurmagomedov delivered a dominant win over Alfie Davis in PFL, and Andre Arlovski turned back the clock one more time to claim the BKFC heavyweight title. On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel reacts to UFC Vegas 113, PFL Dubai, and Knucklemania 6. Topics discussed include whether this win changes things for Bautista, whether Horiguchi deserves a title shot next, what to make of Almeida's release and whether the UFC should keep the heavyweight division, where Nurmagomedov ranks in the lightweight division, Arlovski's career longevity, other news and notes, and more.

On the heels of last week's stinker between Tallison Teixeira and Tai Tuivasa at UFC 325, this weekend brought us Rizvan Kuniev vs. Jailton Almeida and, wow, holy shit did it absolutely suck. Not to beat a dead horse here but: Heavyweight. Still shitty after all these years, huh? In fact, we have to ask the question: Is the heavyweight division shittier now than it has ever been? That's a scary thought, but one that deserves some of our attention. Plus, the weekend's Fight Night might have been dogshit, but Mario Bautista looked great in the main event. Plus, lo, there was despair across the land, as the Dark Lord Ben Rothwell lost his BKFC heavyweight title to Andrei Arlovski. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

While UFC 321 is in the rear-view mirror, the aftertaste has lasted a lot longer than most events we've seen this year following the eye poke from Ciryl Gane to Tom Aspinall that ended the main event in a no-contest, leaving the MMA community with more questions than answers, and a division amongst the fanbase, overall. Despite the unfortunate ending to the fight, has Aspinall's stock dropped overall, even though he was not the one who committed the foul? On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel discusses the fallout from the Aspinall vs. Gane fight, Dana White's comments at the post-fight press conference, Mackenzie Dern becoming the UFC strawweight champion, and much more from the most recent pay-per-view event. Additionally, topics may include Umar Nurmagomedov's victory over Mario Bautista and where he goes next, Dirty Boxing's event on Thursday night headlined by Gable Steveson vs. Billy Swanson, the UFC's return to the APEX this Saturday with Steve Garcia vs. David Onama in the headline spot, and whatever else is on your mind. Join MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew as they answer, and debate your questions all show long.

The unfortunate end to UFC 321 left a bad taste in the mouths of MMA fans as an accidental eye poke from Ciryl Gane led to the main event against heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall ending in a No Contest. Considering how things went down, it seems as if the UFC will run that fight back, but is that the fight to make following the historic ending to the contest? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss where Aspinall and Gane go from the brutal ending to Saturday's pay-per-view event in Abu Dhabi. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for Mackenzie Dern and Virna Jandiroba following Dern's vacant strawweight championship victory in the co-main event, Umar Nurmagomedov after his unanimous decision win over Mario Bautista in the featured bout, Alexander Volkov following his split decision win over Jailton Almeida, along with fellow main card winner Azamat Murzakanov, and more.

SleepyJ and MeanGene talk betting for the entire main card of UFC 321. Sleepy J and Mean Gene break down the entire UFC 321 main card from Abu Dhabi in a fast-paced betting preview. They open with their best bet—Azamat Mirzakhanov over Aleksandar Rakić—calling him the hungrier fighter with knockout power and better fight IQ while questioning Rakić's motivation and durability after a long layoff. They both see Mirzakhanov's aggression, southpaw power, and confidence carrying him through, especially overseas where judges may favor pressure and damage. They next debate Jailton Almeida vs Alexander Volkov: Sleepy J likes the veteran Volkov's size, balance, and cardio at dog odds, while Gene sides with Almeida for his submission skills and athletic upside but warns of cardio issues if it goes late. In the bantamweight bout, they tackle Umar Nurmagomedov vs Mario Bautista. Sleepy J grabs Bautista at +440 just for the value, citing his streak and toughness, but admits Umar likely wins; Gene breaks down Umar's title-fight loss to Merab Dvalishvili, the broken hand, his elite grappling, and motivation to reclaim the title, calling him a “guaranteed” parlay piece even at –600. Sleepy J then drops a promo code before they preview the co-main—Mackenzie Dern vs Virna Jandiroba—for the vacant strawweight title. Gene picks Dern, citing her improved striking, world-class jiu-jitsu, and UFC marketing push but admits her wrestling and tendency to crumble under bright lights are concerns; he expects a submission or decision win if she stays composed. Sleepy J counters with Jandiroba, highlighting her five-fight win streak over names like Angela Hill and Marina Rodriguez and the revenge angle from losing to Dern years ago, arguing the line is off and that Dern is being overvalued for marketability. Finally, they dive deep on the heavyweight title fight—Tom Aspinall vs Ciryl Gane. Sleepy J sees both as elite athletes but leans Aspinall and bets the over 1.5 rounds, thinking both start cautiously; he views Aspinall as the next long-term champ once he beats Gane. Gene delivers his most confident take ever, calling Aspinall a generational heavyweight—fast, technical, powerful, and mentally tougher—and insists Gane's poor ground game, low fight IQ, and quit factor from the Jon Jones fight will doom him. He predicts Aspinall by submission and urges listeners to parlay him at –300 to –400 or take “inside the distance” at –275 as safer value. The show closes with Sleepy J praising Gene's conviction, both agreeing Aspinall rules the division unless Jon Jones returns for legacy money, and teasing an extended episode for UFC 322, which they expect to be one of the best cards in years, urging fans to follow them on X and use promo code TOM20 at Pregame dot com for 20% off.

After a 455 day absence, Tom Aspinall returned to the UFC octagon to defend his newly-minted heavyweight title for the first time against Ciryl Gane, and despite the challenger being a massive underdog, Gane was prepared for the test. Unfortunately, an accidental, yet brutal eye poke from Gane led to the first championship fight coming to an abrupt end via No Contest in UFC history. Following UFC 321, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to the awful ending of the card that had fans up in arms, how Aspinall and Gane both looked before the fight was stopped, and if the UFC should run it right back. Additionally, they discuss Mackenzie Dern capturing the vacant strawweight title in the co-main event with a decision win over Virna Jandiroba, Umar Nurmagomedov defeating Mario Bautista, bonus winners, plus fan questions, and much more.
