The PFL has officially absorbed Bellator MMA in a blockbuster deal made official on Monday morning, and then PFL co-founder Donn Davis joined Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour to answer a lot of the burning questions surrounding it. While the news is certainly big, did Davis do himself and the promotion a disservice with some of the things he said? On a special Thanksgiving edition of Between the Links, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew discuss the deal a few days later and what it all means, Davis suggesting PFL now a "co-leader" with the UFC, why Dana White likely isn't worried about it, and how feasible the structure is for the PFL moving into 2024. Additionally, they discuss the Friday's PFL World Championship card, the $49.99 price tag, Brendan Allen's UFC Vegas 82 main event win over Paul Craig, how close Allen is to a title shot, what they're thankful for in MMA, and much more.

Benoit St-Denis était invité de l'émission The MMA Hour, il a sorti les punchlines.

Conner Burks never imagined he'd get to this point. From 2018-21, he sleepwalked through a miserable existence working overnight shifts at ESPN while living in dreary central Connecticut one thousand miles away from his beloved Atlanta. Frustration with his life's course was exacerbated by the pandemic, as ESPN demanded he produce radio shows in the office every day while the rest of the world waited out the dangers of COVID-19 from the comforts of their homes. But in August 2021, the trajectory of Conner's life completely changed. On today's episode, one of my best friends and I discuss the following from the Financial District of Manhattan: Cold open (00:00) Advice to his depressed younger self (01:45) Career ascension and getting recognized in public (05:55) Falling in love with mixed martial arts during COVID (12:22) Love/hate relationship with social media (25:30) What if we were always honest with each other? (34:38) Love/hate relationship with living in New York City (41:52) The city he dreams of living in (50:32) His recent work trip to Manchester, England (52:05) Why he gave up alcohol for one year (59:45) Movember (01:10:13) Conner Burks is the producer of the very popular YouTube show, The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani. With 25K followers on X, he has quickly become one of the most beloved characters in combat sports entertainment. Before joining Vox Media, he worked at ESPN Radio from 2018-21. To support Conner, consider donating to his Movember link here.

On today's episode I discuss: Intro (00:00)My heated argument with Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour (01:02)My response to Jorge Masvidal's comments (17:06)What happened to Israel Adesanya? (33:43)Who I think will headline UFC 300 (44:32)The importance of UFC 295 for MMA in 2024 (54:59)Plus, I give my official predictions for Tom Aspinall vs. Sergei Pavlovich (1:04:28) and Jiří Procházka vs. Alex Pereira (1:14:02).Big thanks to this episode's sponsors - Momentous Sleep Pack - visit www.livemomentous.com & use code CHAEL for 20% off.Draft Kings Sportsbook - visit  https://sportsbook.draftkings.comNew Customers use code CHAEL to bet $5 and get $200 in bonus bets!Gambling problem?

Cory Sandhagen delivered the goods in the main event of UFC San Antonio against Marlon Vera, while the UFC's 2023 Hall of Fame class has added a "Cowboy" — which has set off a bit of a debate in the MMA community. On an all-new edition of Heck of a Morning, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck reacts to Sandhagen's impressive performance, his callout of Merab Dvalishvili, and his subsequent interview with Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour. Additionally, topics include Donald Cerrone being announced for the UFC Hall of Fame this past Saturday and the conversations it has stirred, Aljamain Sterling vs. Henry Cejudo, a potential Khamzat Chimaev vs. Paulo Costa fight, Dana White doubling down on Colby Covington being the No. 1 contender at 170, Michael Chiesa's options for UFC 287 with Li Jingliang out of their matchup, and more. You can listen live to Heck of a Morning Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays at 10 a.m. ET on the MMA Fighting Twitter Spaces.
