Darren Till absolutely destroyed Luke Rockhold in the main event of Misfits Boxing 2022 on Saturday in Manchester, England, and the finish of the fight saw Till deliver one of the scariest knockouts in the boxing ring in 2025. What is next for Till, and should Saturday mark the end of the combat sports career — at least from a striking aspect — of Rockhold? Following the event, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to the card, Till's big win, the possibility of Rockhold continuing on, and if Till vs. Carl Froch is the fight to make. Additionally, they discuss Tony Ferguson getting his first win in over six years with a very questionable TKO stoppage of Salt Papi in the co-main event, Dillon Danis making is look easy against Warren Spencer in his MMA bout, and more.

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. With four contenders vying for the chance to face Chimaev in his first title defense, who has the best chance to get it done? On an all-new edition of the MMA Fighting Rankings Show, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew step in for Alexander K. 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. Additionally, they discuss where Brian Ortega now goes after a terrible week at UFC Shanghai, changes in the featherweight rankings, and who could make a low-key leap up the rankings by the end of the year.

Anthony Hernandez just keeps winning, but can't seem to make much headway in the crowded middleweight contender line. Is there anything he can do in the UFC Vegas 109 main event to change the minds of the matchmakers? Facing off with Hernandez is Roman Dolidze, a hardened veteran seeking to sneak into the title picture himself.

Ahead of this weekend's UFC Fight Night event, MMA Fighting's Alexander K. Lee and José Youngs preview the the middleweight headliner between Hernandez and Dolidze, and where they might stand Monday with several stars in their division set to compete in the coming months.
