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.

UFC CEO Dana White gave fans and media a look at the renderings for what the UFC White House event may look like when the promotion puts on the historic card in June. How does it all look, plus what is this actually supposed to be in execution? On an all-new edition of Between the Links, the panel reacts to the renderings White shared to Fox News, and try to decipher what the event is — is it a massive UFC card on the White House's South Lawn, or will be a U.S. vs. the world type card? Additionally, topics include Charles Oliveira getting a new opponent for the UFC Rio main event against Mateusz Gamrot and if it was the right call, UFC Perth this Saturday headlined by Carlos Ulberg vs. Dominick Reyes, Jake Paul vs. Tank Davis getting a new location, and having the first two press conferences to promote the card, and much more. Host Mike Heck moderates the matchup between MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew and Morning Kombat's Brian Campbell.

Diego Lopes isn't stepping out of the championship contender picture just yet. With a resounding win over Jean Silva in Saturday's Noche UFC main event, Lopes kept himself in line for another shot at the featherweight title he fell short of capturing this past April. But just how much closer is he to going another five rounds with Alexander Volkanovski? On an all-new edition of On To the Next One, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee discuss what's next for Lopes as he looks to further separate himself from a crowded 145-pound pack that includes rivals Movsar Evloev and Yair Rodriguez, and former bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling. Additionally, future matchups are discussed for the fast-rising David Martinez, surging lightweights Alexander Hernandez and Rafa Garcia, and 21-year-old debutant Santiago Luna. Plus, what to do with Kelvin Gastelum after another weight miss debacle, and listener picks to close out the show. Follow Mike Heck: @m_heckjr Follow Alexander K.

Terence Crawford was absolutely brilliant over 12 rounds of boxing against Canelo Alvarez in the main event of Canelo vs. Crawford on Saturday night in Las Vegas, while Diego Lopes delivered a brutal knockout of Jean Silva in the headline act of Noche UFC.

Following Crawford's undisputed super middleweight championship victory over Alvarez, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to a loaded day and night of fights, where Crawford sits currently, where "Bud" goes next, and more.

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.
