It took Anthony Joshua two rounds to do what Tyson Fury couldn't: knock out Francis Ngannou. And in spectacular fashion, he did it in the second round. In this episode we will recap the fight between Anthony Joshua and Francis Ngannou and compare it to Tyson Fury's body of work against the former UFC champion. Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:10 Francis Ngannou fraud checked 2:50 Anthony Joshua: still good at boxing 6:10 Tyson Fury in shambles 8:02 Anthony Joshua vs. Tyson Fury? 11:43 Francis Ngannou vs. Renan Ferreira? We start the episode off by calling the fight what it was: a fraud check. Many were riding high on Francis Ngannou's fight with Tyson Fury despite him losing, and perhaps rightfully so. But when he took the Anthony Joshua fight, we said that if AJ took this fight seriously, he could run through Francis Ngannou. It was also mentioned that Francis Ngannou could have been taken lightly by Tyson Fury. Regardless, Ngannou may want to be done with boxing at 37 years old. Then I'll discuss what I liked about Anthony Joshua. He's still a very talented boxer and after some lackluster performances and then the two losses to Oleksandr Usyk, may thought Joshua was washed. But his fights with Otto Wallin and now Francis Ngannou give me hope that Anthony Joshua is improved and gotten over that hump that's been hindering him in the past few years. Tyson Fury's win over Francis Ngannou has now aged like milk. Having gone to decision with him and being knocked down in the process, Tyson Fury's stock has plummeted after Anthony Joshua did it in only two rounds. While styles do make fights, it will be impossible to avoid the comparisons now and a fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua seems imminent once Fury is done with Oleksandr Usyk. So does Anthony Joshua beat Tyson Fury? With the last couple performances for both, I'm leaning to yes for now. Of course, that's always changing and if Tyson Fury beats Oleksandr Usyk, it will dump all that on its head. What's next for Francis Ngannou? It's gotta be an MMA fight with Renan Ferreira in PFL. Ferreira just beat Bellator champion Ryan Bader and is the PFL champion. He's sitting out of the PFL season and now has his sights set on Francis Ngannou.

The PFL vs. Bellator event is in the books, and it delivered a fun card of fights, capped off by Renan Ferreira's quick destruction of Ryan Bader. While the pay-per-view price tag was obviously too high, did the event deliver what it promised to the MMA fanbase? On an all-new edition of Between the Links, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew give their grades for Saturday's event in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, they'll take viewer questions throughout the show, including the fallout of UFC Mexico City, if Brandon Royval and Brian Ortega earned second cracks at UFC gold with their wins in the main and co-main, if Ferreira will end up fighting Francis Ngannou in his next fight, Johnny Eblen's close call, a busy weekend ahead with UFC Vegas 87, Gamebred Bareknuckle, and Jake Paul's next fight, and more.

It was a double-stuffed weekend of MMA action as UFC Mexico City and PFL vs. Bellator: CHAMPS took place this Saturday. In UFC, Brandon Royval got his revenge against Brandon Moreno, eking out a split decision win in the main event, while Brian Ortega added another impressive comeback win to his resume, choking out Yair Rodriguez in the co-main event. Over in PFL, Renan Ferreira made quick work of Ryan Bader to claim the heavyweight "Super Belt" in the main event, while Johnny Eblen survived a scare from Impa Kasanganay to win the middleweight "Super Belt" in the co-main event. Plus, the rest of the Bellator fighters cleaned up in PFL's debut in Saudi Arabia. Following Saturday's events, MMA Fighting's Jed Meshew, Jose Youngs, Alexander K. Lee, and E. Casey Leydon reacted to the big upsets in UFC and PFL's big event. Additionally, they discussed what PFL could improve upon, whether Brian Ortega and Brandon Royval earned title shots, and whether or not Francis Ngannou will actually compete in the SmartCage.
